This is an instant hit if you’re looking for a wonderful coming-of-age tale about what happens when you take life’s norms for granted in exchange for the extravagant leap into the unknown. The characters have great chemistry – the inspirational messages and tones hit so many notes, from low somber summaries to high euphoria, all thanks to the chemistry between the characters and the natural progression with the plot.
This story is complete, it doesn’t leave anything out or desired – it’s a star in its own right
This movie really hits the nail on the head with a great progression that will have you feeling so many emotions, some as extravagant as our protagonists’ dreams. If you’re looking for an anime that’s beautiful in every way – be it the stunning visuals, the heartwarming tones, or the great time to be young while we can, I can’t recommend this movie enough.
