A really good movie, even as a young man who isn't interested in this genre of drama type anime, normally I watch sci-fi or fantasy anime for other deep themes & characters but I decided to give it a crack to try something different.
Boi, this movie really hits me personally hard becuase I can related to the teenage boy a lot becuase I am too a very private & quite man who don't have alot of friends, specially when I was his age. I didn't truely open up a bit til I met this kind girl during my tertiary education after high school, she is also open, fun & genuinely always kind to me. Til one day everything went quite when she didn't kept in contact nor attended classes, my heart sank from heaviness for months but I had to move on & focus.
Til threeish years ago she gotten in contacted again online, she'd apologised for everything & at that time before the lost in contact was she had cancer & a few other rare illnesses for her age. That made my heart sank but glad she had the courage to tell me.
We do keep in regular contact online now & she loves sending goofy videos & pictures of her new puppy dog she'd got recently. I've always wonder about her how she truly feels behind that smile most times if she ever cries herself to sleep or something. Yes I do fear losing her if worse comes to worse & I have no guts to telling her how I feel.
This film hits the nail on the head when it comes to the themes of relationships with people around you. Always be kind, try to be open with the people around you, you may never know it could their last day on earth from a disease or saved from one bad day from suicide. Always be kind.
