In my opinion, Tunnel to Summer is undeniably will be one of interesting best 2023 anime candidates to being considered.
Based on my experience, watching Tunnel to Summer without knowing storyline & its trailer would provide an exceptionally captivating experience and this will grow on you If have chances of finish reading its original Light Novel & Manga
Because the main storyline and key messages of both novel and anime is almost the same. The differences are in details + the novel kinda has semi-spinoff story.
Some examples of why the movie is worth spending time watching it :
The only downside until now I can think is the storytelling toward the end is quite accelerated to jump into the climax scene which is understandable But if your brain is not fast enough, you might overlooked some interesting detail of the movie.
( It's a bit similar to the feeling of just finished watching Neon Genesis Evangelion, but Tunnel to Summer is extremely much easier to understand❕)

Some examples of why the movie is worth spending time watching it :
- Great meaningful key messages
- Other than high quality animation & cinematography, I'm being blown away first time seeing tunnel's interior design and still nowadays curious about inspiration/reference why the tunnel looks like that. I'm really want to see interview from director!
- beyond expectations emotional drama scenes
- Great soundtracks that has its meaning matched with the storyline (Pre-Romance, Finale. & Katappo by eill)
