Throughout my life I've seen countless heart wrenching anime: I Want to Eat your Pancreas, Your Name, Grave of the Fireflies, Violet Evergarden, Clannad, A Silent Voice and I can definitely say from the bottom of my heart this film tops it all. I really cant express how I feel rn as I'm sobbing buckets but I can truely say these tears were filled with happiness and sorrow.
This film will teach you life lessons worth treasuring regardless of your age and background. It displays the difficulties and hardships of life, filled with despair. Growing up in a world of inequalities, hindering your true self in the face of society is shown to be barriers we must overcome.
No matter who you are, staying true to yourself will outweigh all the odds. This once in a lifetime masterpiece demonstrates how precious life is and teaches you to be kind towards others. Dont let the idea of wolves scare you away as I was also hesitant at first.
Best to watch it at night, you will have no regrets. I promise.
