YMMV / The Place Promised in Our Early Days

• Awesome Music: The violin solo, especially during the 'making contact' scene in the hospital.
• Genius Bonus: (Presumably) The US uses an F-23 fighter jet at one point. This demonstrates the alternate world, as in our world, the F-23 never entered production, with the contract instead going to the F-22.
• Inferred Holocaust: The film ends on an apparently happy note: Sayuri is awake, the Tower is destroyed and its effect ended, and the Velaciela makes it safely back to Honshu. Furthermore, the peaceful How We Got Here opening with an adult Hiroki saying that Ezo used to be foreign territory before the war and not having to walk through a post-apocalyptic hellhole very strongly implies that not only did they manage to land properly, but also that World War Three eventually ended peacefully without going nuclear. That said... at a minimum, most of Hokkaido just got wiped out because the two leads were wasting time having a touching moment instead of launching the missile, including possibly Okabe's family.
