Harmonie, as indeed as it sounds, beautiful yet puzzling this anime allows me to enter deep inside the imaginary world in their story. Leaving its trace to become unforgettable experience.

Ok, basically this Anime is quite short for a movie, about 25 minutes without OP & ED. Regarding the short duration it doesn't affect the quality story at all. On the contrary it wouldn't be better even if it had longer duration, The story is just perfectly wrapped in 25 minute long duration.

Story 8/10
Some of you maybe don't understand what's exactly going on about the story, peculiar, enigmatic, and little psychological as a short movie that usually leads to incomprehensible story. But, it's only if you relied to understand the story by words . Neither did I grasp the story through text words nor the story development, I only grasped that because of the feel conveyed. And I think this is so called metaphor story, "understand it by feeling the atmosphere even words hardly describe it"

Get to the story. There were actually 2 adolescents in their middle-school life apparently, They both a boy and a girl didn't know each other well even though in the same class until the boy accidentally heard the girl's ring tone ringing throughout the class. The boy found that song good and played it back with his smart-phone. later, the girl found him and wanted him to stop playing it since this song was what has made her now, connecting her to the boy and their world....

Ok stop there, I don't want to spoil more, the main feast starts there. Personally everything about the story is well executed. Extracting story essence into short duration movie is genuinely a hard work to do, I'm amazed with this. The story itself is unique and incomparable to ubiquitous anime nowadays. Mystery, psychology and supernatural genre are bound together to depict their world which only both ever experienced what it looked like, The world that somewhat portrayed themselves.


Story Development 7/10
Ok, this is interesting. Only 25 minute, we have story development which is somewhat stable without leaving any void/gap story. The story developed really well between those 2 adolescents. I also really love the conclusion. It told indefinite meaning, leaving it to our imagination as viewers. I always find this sort of conclusion magnificent.


Art 8/10
I don't know, My eyes were so fascinated by the last scene. It's beautiful.


Music 9/10
The music fits exquisitely. It's successfully able to fill and to enhance the whole atmosphere in this movie. It made every scene remarkable, especially for the last scene :).


Overall 8/10
I'm satisfied.
Such enjoyment of story wrapped in a short duration that I haven't experienced for quite some time blows my mind once again recalling me beautiful work/story doesn't always explicitly tell much yet implicitly. Understand it by feeling it and imagining it, soon you will realize in fact each one of us has our own worlds :).
I do recommend this movie to you.
