Beautiful animation and a series of heartfelt stories that gave me all the feels
Each story and how much you like it depends on how relatable it is, the first was my favourite
great visuals and daily, simple topics. i enjoyed it
So cute! Three short stories that connect beautifully. Amazing animation.
Wistful and touching anthology about love and memories which ties everything together in a hopeful way and with an amazing visual experience
Stunning animation and creative stories.
Found the fact that there were 3 different stories very interesting! All so innocent, sweet and touching!
I especially liked the drama in that movie. Reminded me of the good old days.
3 stories for 3 different backgrounds, bound together in one simple but yet elusive concept: Time. Preferences are up to the viewer :')
This was a beautiful film that best showed off Japanese culture. The romance was quite good too.
