Amazing and the haikus are used beautifully conveying each scenario to its fullest, the small details and hints are simply mindblowing. Its animation is clean, smooth and fulfilling for the movie's style.

Amazing! Character design is so cute and super characteristic, I love what they did with the main girl character! I do wish that they would've expanded on the ending because of you think about it it's still a sad ending, making it a bittersweet ending. Give this a watch please, it deserves so much!

The animation was pretty, although looked a bit old school. Very beautiful use of colors though. You don't get the experience such vibrant anime too often. The story was a little slow for my taste, and I lacked an emotional connection to the two main characters. Normally I can bond with characters and emotion pretty easily, but it just wasn't there for me.

The animation is genuinely quite stunning and the project does feel like it could serve as the breakout start that Kyohei Ishiguro needs.

This featherweight made-for-Netflix film gets by on charm and "cute" and the water colorish pastels the medium is famous for.

Rated: 2.5/4
