This is an instant hit if you’re looking for a wonderful coming-of-age story about what happens when you take the norms of life for granted, in exchange for an extravagant leap into the unknown. The characters have great chemistry – the inspirational messages and tones hit many notes, from brief dark moments to high elation, all thanks to the chemistry between the characters and the natural progression of the plot.
This story comes full circle, leaves nothing unturned or undesired – it, on its own, is a star
This film truly encapsulates a beautiful progression that will make you feel many emotions, as outrageous as our protagonists’ dreams. If you’re looking for a beautiful anime on all levels – from the stunning visuals, the heartfelt tones, or the good time to be young while we can, I can’t recommend this film enough.
