This movie really nails a great progression that makes you feel as many emotions as our protagonists
If you’re looking for a wonderful coming-of-age story about what happens when you take life’s norms for granted instead of leaping into the unknown, this is an instant hit. The characters have great chemistry – the messages and inspirational tones hit so many notes, from low-key succinct to high-spirited, all thanks to the chemistry between the characters and the natural progression with the plot.
This story comes full circle, leaving nothing or wanting – it’s alone, a star
dreams If you’re looking for beautiful anime across the board – whether it’s stunning visuals, heartfelt tones, or a great time being young while we still can, I can’t recommend the film enough.
