Maquia, in short is described by a single word: motherhood. Iorph's lives are already depressing in the sense that they have long lives and have to watch mortal humans die for generations. Mix that with motherhood and you get something bittersweet.

Overall, it was really very touching that any person can relate to. My only concern was the conflict between Mezarte and Nazarte was a bit shallow, and they could have done it better imo. But that doesn't take away my enjoyment of the movie.

This movie seemingly couldn't be bothered to pace itself properly. In an effort to induce cheap emotions out of the viewer, it hurls a conga line of unfortunate events and misery at you for most of its length, and then resolves it with a timeskip and a bunch of flashbacks for a bittersweet ending. Also, why was Ariel so eager to throw his life away for a kingdom that captures, rapes, and subjugates the species that Maquia belongs to en masse?

Not neccessarily a bad movie, but it doesn't have its priorities straight.

A poignant and sincere commentary about ageing, loss and love. If you take a closer look at it, what feels like a simple story reveals a complicated web of themes and plot ideas that are just fleshed out enough to make this movie stand on its own.

Well, it's been long since I cried like this.
I'm touched.

Motherhood: the movie.

After all these years, P.A Works made another real tear jerker, after Angel Beats! that is. At least for me.

This movie was just heart-wrenching, it brought tears to my eyes. The visuals were dangerously beautiful. It also stirred up many emotions inside me and I can't put a name to all of them; desperation of love, its beauty, the lonesomeness, anxiety, and happiness mixed with sorrow idk how much more.

The Sayonara no Asa ni Yakusoku no Hana wo Kazarou anime has finished and it ended on a high note. This anime teaches about love, affection and sacrifice which is very meaningful no matter what group you come from. This anime is very good and I was moved and sad when I watched the end of this anime.

Hopefully this anime gets a new sequel, because this anime is very good.
