This is without a doubt one of my favorite anime movies made outside of studio ghibli, and even with some of the studio ghibli films I've seen.
Ok, I bought this movie at target and I was hoping it would be worth my money and time unlike the movie fireworks. And... this film didn't disappoint, in fact it did more then what I thought it would do. I loved this movie so much that it felt like I watched the whole thing in five minutes. This movie is so beautiful that........ I don't know what else to say. This is one of the best anime movies I've ever seen in my life and I'm still a teenager.
The plot is a tone charger, but it was able to make it work.
The animation is really, really gorgeous with great use of CGI for a animated movie from japan.
The characters are charming and when their not, their believable and relatable.
But to be fair I did have some issues with the film. but again there just nitpickes. For my recommendation, you should watch this with your mother on mother's day. This will have a bigger affect on you when your mother is with you, or if you are the mother, watch this with you kids.
