Hard to really write a review without spoilers though honestly even with spoilers its a predictable plot. Now with that being said is it bad? No I really enjoyed it even though I can figured out the plot within basically the first 510 minutes of it. But anyways heres my quick review and summary of it also along with the lesson it taught. Summer Ghost starts with three friends meeting together now we wont understand this meeting until later on but if you pay attention to anime you can figure it out. https://i.ur.com/UMYse0L.png The Summer Ghost is a girl who by them lighting their fireworks she will appear. Now I didnt really research the significant of this but Im just assuming its something to do with how Japan usually ends their festival with fireworks where usually closes out the summer. This is just my personal opinion dont quote me on this. We are introduced to our three friends Tomoya Ryou and Aoi who are searching for the Summer Ghost Ayane. https://i.ur.com/Epm3lDa.png https://i.ur.com/WwExuo5.png The thing about these three friends they are all strangers who met online with something in common wanting to meet Ayane. And before you wonder if this is a horror anime no lol... Each friend comes with different burdens and are in different parts of their lives. Though all of the same age each struggle with something different. OKAY from here on out this will be SPOILER WARNING https://i.ur.com/NyWYItM.png All four of them are at different part of their lives... Tomoya basically our POV character. He is someone who has a future but too scare to face the future. Hes someone who doesnt want to look ahead and rather stand behind. Which was illustrated nicely in the beginning. Ryou someone who has so much ahead that he looks for but have so little time. Someone who wants to move forward but knowing he is limited on time. Aoi someone who is dealing with the present being bullied and wanting to commit suicide. She is someone who is trying to overcome her everyday hardship. Ayane someone who has neither a future or a present she is someone who is already gone. The basic of the plot is simple really its about learning to face whats ahead no matter how tough. That we just have to look up and see that there are those who knows our pain and there to share it with us. That those who are gone those voices we can no longer hear. As someone who has lost a friend at a young age this hits pretty close to home. Its really focus mainly on Tomoya learning to face that he needs to not be afraid to step forth to the future. And with Ayane help along with Ryou and Aoi he learns to take that step. To not hate his life and seek the future. Each of them faces their own problems. The ending is bittersweet... I wont spoil it but its pretty simple really to pick up on it. Its a nice overall anime and I will say the music was gorgeous. What is its biggest flaw and lacking? I didnt really like the coloring and character design at times. Since I had a hard time trying to figure out was that Tomoya or Ryou. Its a short movie if you have time its worth an watch. If you enjoy these type of simple theme anime like me youll enjoy it. If you dont then it isnt really for you. It got its message across nicely and simply. So as they say... Seize the Day Because eventually... summer will end... those who once were here will someday be gone. So cherish the time we have with those around us. You never know how long these moments will last. This is just a personal story dont click here unless you want to read it also a spoiler for the ending Just as those who are gone can no longer seek the future or live in the present they are a thing of the past. Those of us who are still here the sky is the limit as they say. Learn from your past live in the moment and run towards your future. Score not exactly sure what to give it but for now Ill just put 9/10 since I really enjoyed the theme the music and the simple beauty of the plot. Maybe its a 8/10 but whatever if I change my mind... Ill change it in the future. https://i.ur.com/7zz0cWN.png
