Ive seen a lot of people saying that this movie wasnt that good but personally I liked it a lot First of all I was a huge fan of the simple animation. Like usually I hate animes that have a minimalist kinda animation vibe to them but in this anime I really liked it. It was breathtaking in my opinion. And the music so good. Like top tier so good lmao. I really enjoyed the story line kinda reminded me of a Tik Tok pov lmao. But I thought it was super cute. And although it was short I think it was able to portray a good story in that short amount of time. Ill talk about the plot the characters and my final thoughts in this review. The plot: I wrote this without writing the characters names so sorry about that So basically a little six year old gets lost in a forest and starts to cry. That all changes when a spirit with a really ugly cat mask pops up. Okay was I the only one who thought that the cat mask was ugly and creepy?? Lmao sorry if I offended anyone. He leads her out of the forest and back into her world. She promises to meet him tomorrow to give him a thank you gift and thats where the story kinda moves on. It turns into every summer they meet and talk about life and just hang out in the forest all while the spirit starts to catch feelings for this girl JAIL periodt. And I remember thinking while watching this please dont make a fifth grader fall in love with a spirit lmao but they time skipped to when the main character was in high school so it was all good I think?. So while they are hanging out in the forest the spirit asks to hang with the main character at a festival and she accepts. They then hang out at the festival and talk and that is when the main character is told by the spirit that they are on a date. I screamed when he told her lmao. So they have a super cute montage of them hanging out and being super cute. Then tragedy happens. As they are walking home the spirit grabs a kid to prevent him from falling down. Honestly at first I thought it was ok since they were leaving a spirit festival and that kid must have been a spirit but then the main character reveals that the boy was in fact a human and we see a shot of the spirits hand fading away. And so of course they hug and it was super cute. Then the spirit disappears I started crying the girl started crying and then the spirits thanked the girl for letting the spirit touch her. Then girl goes emo mode and was like Ill always remember you. all that cliche stuff. So yeah the plot badly explained by me : Characters: Ill just do the two main characters Hotaru Takegawa: I liked her lol. Average girl in a romance story no spicy character development or anything like that. Gin: I love hiiimm. He was so sweet and funny. Perfect love interest in my opinion. Final thoughts: Overall really good. Nice and short for anyone who wants a short sad ish anime. Also the music and animation is beautiful.
