I see. Hopefully they will sub it, now that they announced an extended version of this episode (I hope) it will catch the attention of some fansub group. |
|
| Nice story. Bonding with her friend and nice moment and flaskback with her father. the message is resonantly to me. sometimes you forgot what important to you. |
 |
| Pretty good for a 23 minute series. If it was longer I think it could be pretty good |
 |
| The subs are out now |
| Nice story. Even it is short but it has strong,positive messages that we can learn :) |
| it was alright but damn that hideous cgi at the end totally killed the mood. |
| That was depressing, I couldn't be that strong. |
 |
| This was wonderful... 8/10 for me. |
| What a touching story, with a great message. It could be a good series, but not with that 3D animation. |
 |
| I lol'd when she fell at the end. |

| Really Inspiritational little special! Really thought it was 12 episodes then I saw "End" at the end and Now I'm sad |
| a simple message and pretty heart warming short 7/10 |
| I feel sad when i realize hina original home is much bigger than the current one :"( To think that this happened to a lot of people in Japan after the earthquake.... it shows us how tough it is after you losing someone on a disaster. Man that is tough |
 |
| IMO, it was a really good or great short anime. first of all, what i like about this seires is because, it has an actual story with problem, conflict and the conclusion. moreover they put that into SoL genre with drama. the relationship between the girl and her parents, and the girl with her best friend. tbh, it didn't feel that rushed to me. it has a really fitting pace for the story and i really enjoyed it a lot. 9/10 and i'm not joking. i really enjoyed this one a lot. relaxing and interesting. well, i still think it could be better if they made it into a TV series tho... |
 |
| Heartwarming story about healing wounds, moving forward in life without forgetting our loves ones... and for avoiding the cliché at the end showing the heroine overcoming her shortcoming got a +1 in my score rating... Give it a try, it should warm your heart! |
 |
| Honestly, for one episode, it did a fairly good job. If put into a 12 episode series I could definitely see myself enjoying it. As long as it didn't have that horrendous CGI that this short had. |
 |
| Too bad she did not win. I don't see any problem with that CGI. |

|
yuri on the ice. if you want watch beautiful hand drawing skating scene, recommended to see this. this one is more about competition tho. |
|
ilok said: I don't think it was explicitly stated, but I think that was the implication (or from the earthquake itself, though most likely the tsunami).Did she lost her mom to the tsunami? |
 |
| Pretty good and heartwarming for a 25 min short. I especially liked the fact that the children in this acted like actual children, which is quite rare in anime. Not sure I would like to watch an entire series of this, though. I think a story like this would work much better as a movie. |
| Quite a nice little OVA I must say, lovely slice of life atmosphere and in general a decent pacing! All in all a good OVA! |
 |
| It was alright but the last scene didn't sit very well for me. The shitty CGI is part of it but the main problem is that it is somewhat ruined all the build up. I think a "sad" ending would be perfect for this. I mean her friend left, she lost her chance to enter the skating competition, and then... she moved on. Wouldn't that be a great message? |

| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| Beautiful, but also a bittersweet story. This was surprisingly good and emotional anime. Basically it says: never give up! |
