People might say the animation isn't that crazy like a Shinkai film, but thats not what the movies about. Its about the story. The story of the movie is outstanding is what i find personally. I found myself at the end of the movie bawling my eyes out and i had to resist rewatching it. Its just fantastic, give it a try. The animations nothing special, but the story is what drives the movie to be so great. Easily one of my top 3. Apparently the person who created Anohana wrote this, so you should be expecting to cry at points in the movie.
