Synopsis

A world blanketed in an endless and ever-growing ocean of snow. The people eke out a living, either huddled around the roots of enormous trees dotting the surface, or high in the canopy, which spreads over the planet's atmosphere.

A chance meeting between Kaina, a youth from the canopy, and Ririha, a young woman from the surface, sets off a chain of events that will change the fate of the world.

This finishes the story of the main anime, its a direct continuation.
The world building continues to be as interesting as before, although the heightened suspension of disbelief continues to stay necessary.
I dont think this is a problem with the writing, as anime is a medium not unfamiliar with such over dramatization of what's physically possible.
Without spoiling the plot, this movie will confirm your theories about the state of the world and it's likely purpose if you have been paying careful attention until now, there isnt some huge trigger esk plot twist coming here.
Overall, decent show, greatly held back by its unusual look, although I must ...

A satisfying end for an anime/manga adaptation that feels like a short and complete sci-fi novel for young adults/teens.

Without spoiling either the show and movie, the premise of the story is that a young man, Kaina, and his elderly caretakers seem to be the only people left on the Canopy (a sort of surface layer high above the world of the story) until a girl, Ririha appears from below. Having only his intuition and ability to read fragments of an ancient language, Kaina is pulled into quite literal world changing events.

While not being an overly complex sci-fi story, its straightforward story is definitely one of ...

Mixed Feelings
Since nobody wrote a review yet, i'm going to do it quickly.

For those who watched the anime, the movie starts just after it and finishes the story of the Great Snow Sea. So, If you liked the anime, or just want to watch the conclusion of this history, to understand the reason the Great Snow Sea and the great Trees exists, this movie is a must watch, a kind of last arc big episode. In short terms, the Movie is a direct sequel of the anime.

As of characters, scenario, animation, and all others things, it follows all the same as the anime. No surprises here. ...
