It’s an instant hit if you’re looking for a wonderful coming-of-age story about what happens when you take life’s norms for granted in exchange for the extravagant leap into the unknown. The characters have great chemistry – the messages and uplifting tones hit a lot of notes, from quiet dark slips to high elation, all thanks to the chemistry between the characters and the natural progression of the plot.
This movie really nails a great progression that will make you feel many emotions as extravagant as our main characters' dreams
If you’re looking for a beautiful anime in all areas – whether it’s the stunning visuals, the heartfelt tones, or a great time being young while we can, I can’t recommend the film enough. This story comes full circle, leaving nothing out or anything to be desired – it’s a star in its own right.
