pinokiyo Seriously? Couldn't they have been a little more creative? The time travel/effect is exactly the same as The Terminator. They even use the same situation from the ending of Terminator 2, where Arnold has to break part of his body and dragging himself to the ground. Except, this is way cheesier and ridiculous scenario where it suddenly turns into a disaster film. It's more like they wanted to try to be like epic Hollywood production but it doesn't come close at all. Pretty sure this film is made for teenage girls and boys/anime otakus and that's where all the positive ratings are coming from. No full grown adult would find this film romantic or amazing. Then again, I don't think this film is right for little kids either because there's a scene where some fat terrorist just starts shooting a rifle at a restaurant and then he starts chugging down gasoline and ends up lighting up on fire. Cheesy effects and super cheesy story. The ending is super ridiculous. If they didn't have uplifting vibe and eyecandy from Haruka Ayase in this film, of course she's cute, I would have given a lower score.

romeogbrl I was really blown away by this film. I was expecting an average, run of the mill romantic drama but boy, I was wrong. "Cyborg Girl" is one of the best above average rom-coms I had the privilege to watch. The strength of the movie lies in its director's ability to tell a story and convey emotions through these two great actors. The nerd, Jiro is very likable, who kind of reminds me of quite a few protagonists from several anime movies/shows. The cyborg character oozes with sex appeal (the TX from Terminator 3 is not even this sexy)and shares great chemistry with Jiro.All I can say is, I truly had great fun watching this film. I though agree with another reviewer that it could have made the "robotic dance sequence" better and more convincing by hiring a professional break-dancer. This is a heartwarming film that will capture your imagination and make you shed a tear. That's something you won't find in a lot of movies today.

Desertman84 Cyborg Girl is a very touching and heart-warming story about a relationship between a young man and a robot that came back from the future. It was a love story. It also tackles themes of companionship, friendship and loneliness. Wirtten and directed by My Sassy Girl and Windstruck director,Kwak Jae- Young Kwak wraps up his popular "My Sassy Girl" series with this romantic comedy about a lonely young man who falls in love with an emotionless cyborg. Jiro is celebrating his birthday alone when he crosses paths with a mysterious young beauty. After a lovely dinner together, the girl vanishes without a trace. Exactly one year later, the girl reappears to celebrate Jiro's twenty-first birthday. But something is different this year, and when the situation suddenly turns violent Jiro makes a shocking discovery about his eccentric new companion. As benevolent and beautiful as she may be, however, is there such a thing as true love between man and machine?The acting was great in this film. Kudos to Keisuke Koide as Jiro and most especially Haruka Ayase for being credible both cyborg and a human being as well as delineating the characters of between the two. The chemistry between the two was commendable as well. Finally,Cyborg Girl is definitely the best Japanese movie I have ever seen. No question about it.It is truly a classic!!!

Aeromaxx777 My rating is not really a 10; it is actually 9.2. And I would agree if people say this movie is underrated. This is definitely one of the greatest tearjerkers from Japan. I cried out loud for over 15 minutes when I watched this movie. And I just can't say anything bad about it except it never showed what happened to Jirou Kitamura after the future girl came back for him. But the story was unlike what I have seen before. And for a comedy, the climax was actually kind of sad. That makes any fan of romance shed a tear.The story tells about how the movie's resident geek, Jirou Kitamura found love in 2 girls(one is a cyborg) in 2 separate occasions. Which only emphasizes his average Joe persona in the film in the fact that he falls for a future girl who has quite an appetite for food, shoplifts and quite unused to everything, and to a heroic cyborg who is at the least, ROUGH ON HIM! But that says something; "In a relationship, it is not about finding the perfect partner in life, it's about finding the perfect kind of love that you can share with each other".Just to back it up, Jirou's love for the future girl led him to spent all his money and time to create the cyborg girl. And eventually changing history that drives the future girl's heart to return to Jirou. The kind of love Jirou and the future girl share for each other was so strong, time can't keep them apart. I wonder if there would be an American version someday. Either way, this movie is great as it is. Keisuke's character, Jirou could very well be at the top 5 in my long list of "Greatest Lovers in Movie History". Why? When he had not created his cyborg girl yet, he ended up disabled in a wheelchair. But because he loved the future girl so much, he waited 65 years in order to see her again(in a sense). And because he did, his younger self lived his life happily and without regret.This movie created a question for the public: "How long can a love that was created over a short period of time last?. And the movie had an answer for it: "FOREVER".
