What is an Anime for you if you watch a summer episode? A hot day beach sands wearing kimonos in firework festivals children running around enjoying their vacation. Its that time of the year when everyone has to feel the warm breeze and they say ahhh.. atsuida ne. That is my definition when Im watching a summer episode. But this movie is not based on any of those topics. Hard Spoilers Ahead When summer vacation is at last three high school students met through social media to meet the Summer Ghost. Here we started with Tomoya Aoi and Ryo three high schoolers that never met before have come terms to meet a ghost. Youre probably wondering why they want to meet this ghost. Is it because theyre bored? Being childish? Bust some ghost? or maybe because they have problems with their lives trying to figure out if they have any reason to live. That could be it While we progress through the movie we see that the 3 main characters are having flashbacks. Tamoya wants to apply in art school but Tomoyas mom is forcing him in his study Aoi is getting bullied and Ryo has terminal cancer. To encounter the Summer Ghost they need to buy fireworks and light up to meet Ayane Summer Ghost Satou. She had long hair and wore a black dress and was able to fly from over the clouds to under the ground. To build up her story Tomoya and the rest were certain that she committed suicide then later on she told Tomoya that she was murdered 3 years ago and figured out what he could do for her now. Knowing the fact that she got brutally murdered Tomoya cannot think of anything other than help to find her body. He now then ask for Aoi and Ryous help to find her body. The story is pretty creative. Sure they didnt have enough sources from a thirtynine minutes movie. Art is amazing. Even though it lacks facial drawings. The scenery gave its best. Sound is my favorite part. It has the feel of a Jazz melancholia mystery sweet piano violin duoquick cut upbringing sound. The only way that they could make it more emotional is just to add a great soundtrack to it. And they cleanly portrayed it all in this movie Characters had different problems but they feel connected as they are all in despair. Which gave a unique characterization. 8.7/10 220https://scontent.fybz22.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.157529/27731399330242117745753996732602720958452559n.png?nccat=106ccb=15ncsid=ae9488ncohc=atRwGo8uEiYAXzkKS4tn=9alrbK17GZWd4dPnncht=scontent.fybz22.fnaoh=03AVKNqOa7MgEbHow2cR2dc8J9vUjDbgZ41troFxe03HGpjwoe=626DC15E 220https://scontent.fybz22.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.157529/2774544453041632585194282424814358096135417n.png?nccat=105ccb=15ncsid=ae9488ncohc=XbMQ3ozhsoAXJC3QFncht=scontent.fybz22.fnaoh=03AVJ8kgeqGBqsDLBQh6G8dWq4pQ7DiRCxqxDDlSOXVx0cwoe=626E308D 220https://scontent.fybz22.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.157529/2758811354835755935099425761700147140219577n.png?nccat=108ccb=15ncsid=ae9488ncohc=A0cQVoDodPIAXocGrOncht=scontent.fybz22.fnaoh=03AVJ3s81qe17VQTmJmnavihKFBTGdzOBdjf3EUWMsFW10QQoe=626F4DEB I have been waiting for this movie to come out to North America ever since I watched the promotional video back in November. I constantly trying to refresh my feed whenever I have time to think about it. And now I finally watched it. Its great that Manga adaptation has been serializing for 3 months now. And hoping we could see some more in the future.
