Another one of Hamoru Hosoda’s classics. It’ll be the one I’ll remember the most.
Gorgeous animation and excellent voice acting. It presents a nuanced take on fatherhood in a way very few movies dare. I really loved it.
One of my favorite Anime films. Good story and amazing animation.
Amazing. Will hit you right in the feels. Awesome story, easy to watch. Hard to forget.
This is not a movie. This is art. If you like Japanese animation, do not miss this one!
Amazing visualy and the story is full of emotions.
Really touching. Great interactions and a great story to match.
I really enjoyed this movie. I found it emotional and beautiful. A true masterpiece like most movies by this creator. I highly recommend it.
I remember seeing this and telling myself "wow", but I don't remember much about the movie itself... I'd rewatch anytime!!!
Well animated, but the plot kind of meanders.
