I've been following Makoto Shinkai for quite some time now, it all started with "5 Centimeters per second" ever since then I couldn't wait for his future releases. I noticed that his short was released so I watched it as quick as I could!
Story 8/10:
I was carried away with the story pretty fast, I don't think you need a summery of a story that is 6 minutes long. Shortly: I liked it.
Art 10/10:
As expected from Makoto Shinkai, the art was amazing and was truly eye-candy.
Full 10 points well deserved.
Sound 9/10:
The soundtrack and short voice acting were really good, and the quality delivered was amazing. I especially loved the piano at the background.
Character 10/10:
As you can imagine, the character development is pretty hard for a 6 min short, but even then I felt like I already knew the characters and was already bounding with them after 4 minutes.
Enjoyment 7/10:
I would've given it a 9/10 but the narrator was sometimes pretty annoying, I think it would've been better if it would give us a little time sometimes to let the dialog sink in. The narrator also didn't stop talking in the moment of the possible tearjerker/drama, the feeling just didn't felt as strong at I'm used to when watching his work.
Overall 8/10:
I would recommend this short for anybody! But it's not I will go around my friend yelling "WATCH THIS!", but it's definitively worth watching!
Thanks for reading my review, I hope it was useful!
