| Not the best I've seen from Shinkai, but still an okay watch. It didn't hit me much emotionally due to how short it was. 5/10 |
 |
Open-Dice said: Yes it was. (source: credits)Was the cat narrating? |
| Shinkaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiii |
 |
| It made me cry because my cat recently passed away. And this just brought back all the emotions. So i hated this and the only reason why i didn't give it a 1 is because it was beautiful. If only the part with the cat had been cut out. |
| Beautiful as ever like most of his work! This short story but really touching story was really nice to take my time for! A really touching with great quality short movie I must say! |
 |
| I came for the visuals, art and animation, as expected it did not disappoint. The story was short and sweet, but I didn't find anything new from this among his previous works except this one is focused solely on family. 7/10 |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| theme of family is really beautiful. |

Xikarra said: Less than 6 minutes to have my eyes wet… Just wow. Ha! My feelings exactly. I watched this with my boyfriend : I thought of introducing him in Makoto Shinkai's work for a while now, and this was just the best option. I watched it yesterday: by the end of it, my eyes were really wet. "Are you crying?" my bf. asked amused. I have to say, I just answered him "Can't you see? this thing is way too beautiful!" He was convinced, though, of the fact that Makoto Shinkai is kind of good at what he does. He's currently one of my faves. The little movie was absolutely great. I wonder how he does it, I wonder how is he so wonderfully capable of burning my heart in only 6 freaking minutes. It should be impossible, yet this is how it is. This short movie was great : the feelings it transmits are just way too intense, yet transmitted in a very subtle, gentle way. So painful. I loved it ! |

| STOP MAKING ME CRY MAKOTO SHINKAI JUST STOP IT ALREADY |
 |
| I can relate to this so much... I only wish it was a longer animation </3 |
 |
| great art as always~ if this anime was longer i might have cry~ |
 |
| Your typical Shinkai. Loneliness through separation, same thing as always expect it's with family this time. looks pretty though. |
| Another page to the history of the Fujaku. |
| Touching. I am about to cry |
| That was very nice and heartwarming. Themes about family is always a good thing to see every now and then. |
| Recommend me an anime |
| Too short for how beautiful it was. I almost cried! That animation was totally gorgeous. Definitely a good use of 6 minutes. |
| Your sacrifice will be remembered, cat. |
| That was way better than I thought it would be. |
"Be the change you wish to see in the world."  |
| Father's (or maybe parents) Love.. Thats all~ sometime we think.. when we adult, we can live alone without parents anymore and live for yourself, but no matter how old you are.. your parents always love and care about you!~ |
 |
| I too cry more over pets passing away than I do humans. ;; Good job, Shinkai-san. |
| Beautiful art and animation as always. Poor cat had to pass on for the family to get back together, but at least they'll be closer now. You always gotta appreciate your family. |
| Beautiful art, beautiful story! I'm happy that the girl and her father are close again! |
PoeticJustice said: nigga i am black, do you think my ass would fit in? "Oh look it is negro kun." Hell no. |
| despite being so long that was beautiful, and the cat scene got me :'( i have a soft spot for cats |
| so beautifully done, especially for just being a commercial also I watched this all the way through without realizing the cat was narrating and felt fairly sad/ touched by the story then i realized the cAT WAS NARRATING......... and i watched it again and somehow that sadness tripled and now my heart won't stop breaking and i can't stop thinking about how much i miss all of my dead childhood cats help |
 |
| was pleasant |
 |
| Rewatched with friends. Bumps score up to 8. Really well done. |
| Ah, so love this even if this was really short. The animation is great and the story is very relatable! |

| Great animation, great story.... ....and the moral of this story is: when your cat dies, just get another one! >.> |
 |
| I went into this without any knowledge of or high expectations. I though it would one of those short promo stuff that gets animated every now and then. Boy was I wrong. Now I just want to hug my mom :< |
| It is a touching family theme with great animation and story. Love this!! |
| This made me feel guilty of how I do slowly neglect my pets as I grow older |
| It took less than 6 minutes for me to get teary eyed. What the hell was that all about?! 8/10 |
 |
| An excellent short film with a beautiful message. I felt concerned when I watch it. 10/10 |
 |
| This whole time, I thought the mother was narrating the short... Anyways, the short was poignant and I think it speaks to everyone about talking to our parents more and keeping in touch with them as we get older. 7/10 |
 Misty's Stash:       |
| Holy hell, that was beautiful! |
| I wanna cry now. I'm sad. I seem to be very emotional lately and yeah this made it worse. I loved it. The art was beautiful too. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| This is so heartwarming specially if you have worries and regret. |
| Surprisingly depressing with a hint of happiness sprinkled throughout |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| This was far sweeter and far more relatable than I expected. This 6-minute long anime made me feel what other 12 and 24 episode anime often fail. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Animation was really good and the story was very good, the only problem is that it was short. daughter and father brought together again by Mii's death was sad and yet heartwarming. I guess this anime focused on daddy daughter relationship and this was very mature and refreshing to watch. 7/10. |
How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb --- Dr Strangelove  |
| there's something i love a lot about shinkai-san's works: if you watch all of his works, you're sure to find a connection between them, and more often than not, you'll find that in a more recent work, he managed to get across a point he was trying to make in an older work. i had this feeling when i watched 'byousoku go senchimeetoru'; i watched it after 'kimi no na wa', and to me it felt like in bgs he was trying to convey a message and a feeling that he only got to convey in knnw, almost a decade later. this movie on the other hand reminded me of his 1999 'kanojo to kanojo to neko', which had a similar premise: a drama surrounding (and under the perspective of) an old family cat. i hated ktknn tho hehehe and i also hated the 2016 remake, but i liked this one. 'dareka no manazashi' is very sensitive, subtle, heartwarming and sad, but in a beautiful, non-forced way, and it brought me to tears when i realized it was all about the cat! very cool |
