Not being familiar with "Boogiepop and Others" ("Boogiepop wa Warawanai") in any way, I just purchased it because it was cheap on Amazon and because it was Japanese.
I must admit that I found it a real struggle to get into this movie, and made it just under one hour into the movie before I gave up on it out of sheer boredom. This was essentially as uninspiring and irrelevant a storyline as it gets.
And the storyline was rather mundane and quite far from being interesting enough to capture my attention, much less hold my attention.
The characters in the movie were two-dimensional and never really stood out in any way, and as such, you didn't really care about any of them or really got into their world or their situation.
Having suffered through this, and having found out that this is a live motion picture based on an Anime series haven't really planted any desire to watch the Anime series, because this movie was a waste of time and effort, to say the least.
Just because it is Japanese, doesn't make it good.
