Hello World

Hello World (2019) is a Japanese animated film you can watch online on iFILM — a sci-fi romance directed by Tomohiko Ito, running 94 minutes and set in a near-future Kyoto.

Naomi Katagaki is a quiet high school student who one day comes face to face with a stranger who turns out to be himself — ten years older. The visitor has come from 2037 with a single mission: warn the younger Naomi that the girl he'll fall for, classmate Ruri Ichigyo, is going to die. To change the outcome, both versions of the same person have to work together. The catch is that each has his own idea of what saving her actually means.

Voiced by Takumi Kitamura and Toori Matsuzaka, the film uses Kyoto's layered skyline as a metaphor for layered time — a past you can access but never fully rewrite. Stream Hello World (HELLO WORLD) online on iFILM for a story about first love, identity, and how far you'd go to undo a single moment.
