Alert: This movie has the most fantastic background graphics, equal in quality to the very best--like cowboy bebop or something from studio ghibli (spirited away). just wonderful color of the sunsets, schools houses etc.
As a teen slice of life/tentative romance/drama the story seems like it could be cliché, but they do interesting things with it, make it more dramatic in the middle, and at the end i was satisfied. the emotional depth sort of sneaks up on you.
Sounds were well-integrated into the film and the voice actors were spot-on in their portrayals.
just a fine experience watching this on here in Asia.
Highly recommended for all, but a must for anyone who's into anime.
wow I'm gonna look out for anything by this studio and director in the future.
