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.
