CrazyCactus's Profile

You can't watch this movie without a sad smile on the face. It's a charming story about...youth. Middle school period of life, when days are longer, grass is greener and the future is brighter. First love, first confession (successful and not very), first questions to yourself, first attempts in something. As it was expected, Ghibli with it's magic powers brings out you own memories and forgotten wishes from the same age. Light bitterweet melancholy fills the room, while you keep watching this movie.
I can not guaranty, but something tells me that after the last scene most of you will sigh and think "Ah, I wish, I could meet that fat cat too"..or something like this. read more

It's my first review, so, please don't be too strict. (Beforehand, I'd like to apologize for all mistakes that I could overlook m(_ _)m)
Ok, here we go...
Story: 9/10
"Reminds me of "Beck"- that was my first thought after the first episode. "Nope, it's closer to "Honey and clover"- was my thought after the second episode.Right now, I don't actually care about this anymore.
Basic things: 'school','friendship','love','joint interest'. It should seem to be nothing new. Then what's so great about it? Why do I continue to watch it? Sincere realistic story. I think that's the main point. It should seem, ordinary, even stereotypical thing, yet..it looks real. Right now, though I've watched only 10 episodes and I don't know where this story will go. I've got a feeling that it actually could have happened. It's hard to say what exactly makes me think like this..Who knows. But the fact that I do believe in it, makes this anime brilliant in my eyes.
Art: 7/10
Soft colours deepen the 'retro' atmosphere. Characters look not too realistic nor too embellish. Hm.. reminds me of 'Paradise Kiss', 'Baccano' and 'Beck'.
Sound: 8/10
Jazz..should I add something? If you're not a fan of it, this anime will make you like it :)
Character: 8/10
What I really like about them, that they seems to be real. Just normal girls and boys.
(Accent makes them even more adorable)
Enjoyment: 9/10
Like listening to a retro record...It brings some thoughts about past and present. Was it better back than? Maybe nothing has changed..or maybe...
Sad thoughts, pleasant thoughts. Like a jazz music, this anime will relax you and make your calm mind just drift on the waves. read more
