| Even though i saw the ending coming, i still hated it......just the ending though |
 |
| It's really good and reminded me of 5 Centimeters Per Second. It's a shame it's so short, but ultimately it works because it successfully told the story it needed to tell. I really hope Takahiro Omori makes something feature-length, he's a really strong filmmaker. |
| Q_____Q sob sob.... Stunning, and Gin is beautiful....hoped for a better ending for them both .___. |
     |
| I can't believe he just disappeared so abruptly and in that way. AUGGHHH I think I just broken something. |
| My god. |

| My gosh, that was just beautiful. Although I know that ending was probably for the better, I can't help but cry, weep, and sob.... |
 |
| Awww so sad ;_; |
| 10/10 because I have nothing to complain about. xD I'll rewatch this someday~ |
| Loooool , Gin's dissapearing was awkward :( But overall good movie , I loved it <3 |
 |
| Sweet little story.... <3 |
 |
| I just watched it and wow, just beautiful. I never thought that a 40 minutes movie could excite me so much, I have so many different feelings right now...sadness, cheerfulness, rage, satisfaction. Such a wonderful movie! 10/10 |

| Reminds me of Natsume Yuujinchou but didn't quite get the feeling right, or maybe I am just too tired. |
| Wow! I swear, if I looked up the word 'bittersweet' in the dictionary, this movie would be somewhere in the definition. 44 minutes of my life well spent! 10/10 |
 |
| It'll be interesting to see how this ties in with Natsume Yuujinchou, maybe a short crossover episode or something. |
| Bittersweet as hell and I felt like it ended too abruptly (Gin's disappearing was a bit awkward). But all in all it was beautiful and very enjoyable, so I'm giving it an 8/10 :) |

| Already was familiar with the story because i read the maga first but still made me cry man ;_; Forest spirit stories get me the most. |
| Goddamn... :( Impressed that they could actually create a likable and well-developed relationship in 45 minutes. Gin... ;_; Dammit. 8.5/10 (pretty much perfect for its length, I just can't really give anything higher than that for such a short movie because I'm unable to truly get attached to characters this quickly) |
| It gave me the same feeling when I watch 5 centimeters per second. The moment remain before Gin's total disappearance was wasted if I were Hotaru I could do more than just hug Gin like a quick kiss in the lips for her first kiss it's obvious they love each other. <_< |
| That was pretty awesome! Very well done considering it was only 44 minutes. =p Damn kid had to ruin everything, this is why I hate kids! Nah I'm kidding. Sort of. :D |
 |
| this movie definitely reached my heart. |
"never regret anything, because at one point it was exactly what you wanted" |
Alright, I just finished watching this and my thoughts:
|
 |
| The scenery and story was beautiful. It was a really caring movie between a boy who was once a normal human and a human girl. I couldn't help but feel angry and sad at the ending. I knew it, as soon as those boys came running at the last 10 minutes of the show I could see a ending that would make me sob. God damn..Well at least it portrayed tons of emotions whether it was a happy ending or unhappy ending 10/10. Even though the ending was Q_Q'. |
 |
| Things like this reminds me why i love anime. |
| 9/10 such beautifull story It almost made me cry, if it did I gave it a 10/10. If this was like a serie and had this great buildup I would have cried 100% |

|
| I remember how sad i was when I read the manga... BUT FUCK NOW IM EVEN MORE SAD!!!!111! Beautiful, sweet, funny. I wish it was longer but oh well, it would be cool if they adapted the other stories from the manga. 10/10 |
 |
| Didn't know you were so soft, Shuhan. |

|
| Beautiful , a movie like no other 9/10 |
 |
| I was sad when I read the manga and I'm sad after watching the anime; but in all honesty I think that the ending is perfect. I'm so glad that they were able to touch at least once. |
 |
| That was.......so heartwarming but sad at the same time.Will it have a sequel? |
 |
| this is very sad ..i wished they would be together longer.. if only gin didnt touch that human boy.. nevertheless 10/10 masterpiece and worth my 'raining'.. im still sad.. ;_ ; |

Had me one the verge of tears a couple of times. Best anime I've watched in a good while, yes. 7/10 he said:it was a terrific adaption of the manga, even surpassing it Me: that is pretty impressive He:Had me one the verge of tears a couple of times Me: this dude must have really liked this He: 7/10 Me: *face palm* |
 .. |
| Didn't make me cry but I was on the verge to cry. Truly sad yet heart warming story. A perfect 10 from me <3 |
 |
| This is really art. Perfectly made short movie, what else can I say? But wait, it can't actually be "perfect" to me apperently, because it didn't manage to make me cry. I really don't even understand myself sometimes, I have cried abot less sad Anime scenes before, so I just don't know why I couldn't here. That probably means it couldn't touch me all the way, so I'll "only" rate this 9/10. Have to watch more Anime movies. :-) |
 |
| I fucking cried.. T_T |
 |
| I just loved this anime. It looked like a lullaby to me xD I actually almost cried at the end... |
 |
| Bloody hell..... that was beautiful. I couldn't stop crying at the end, in fact , I'm still tearing up. Definitely will be rating it as a 10/10. |
| The ending was so sad D: damn u human child why did u run in the forest at the middle of the night!! Forest god should have given gin another chance to live... Im not really into drama anime but its a very good anime but its so short! Everything was perfect but the ending was so sad :( 8/10 |

| It was sooo beautiful and sweet. :'D I cried at the end. Gin...no! ; A ; Loved the art, the characters, the emotions and the voice acting. ♥ Very Natsume feeling and I loved that. :D |
"Wait for the signal, and I'll meet you after dark" |
| I had no idea that this was by the same author of Natsume until I check MAL. I kept expecting Natsume to show to save the day through out the entire movie. By the end of the movie I was hoping Gin would return. I was even expecting a cliche ending where Hataru is waiting at the shrine wearing a mask and a reborn human Gin meets Hotaru and Hotaru role plays the spirit. Still overall a great movie. |
| The story was so touching ;v; I really enjoyed watching the movie, and the animation was so pretty ;v; and somehow it did feel like a part of Natsume Yuujinchou, the art even seemed the same btw, |
| "There's a law which says that when an otaku meets another otaku who shares a minor interest, they will become good friends right away." ~Houou Gakuen Misoragumi (Ch.4) "There’s something in this world that no one has seen before. It is gentle and sweet. Maybe if it could be seen, everyone would fight over it. That’s why no one has ever seen it. The world hid it so that no one could get their hands on it easily. However, someday, someone will find it. The person who deserved it the most will definitely find it." ~Toradora |
| I'm gonna be that 1 person that didn't like this at all. It didn't really move me and neither did it get me emotional, I guess I just didn't care for it. |
| Simply beautiful.. Such a sad plot yet heartwarmingly bittersweet. This movie is definitely going on my favorites <3 |
 |
| Beautiful ... |
| Wow... that was romantic [for me].. although sad because Gin "disappeared"... and it was so FAST!!! Anyway, I really love it. And Gin reminds me of Takashi Natsume of Natsume Yuujinchou... |
