And it is evident just how much this movie can manipulate with viewers emotions, which is indeed more than needed from any form of art.
What drives this movie towards imperfection is the lack of depth in characters and story.
For an example it is told once that our protagonist, Tachibana Taki is fond of architecture.
He is also short tempered, that has been told... Once.
I have seen few of character personal traits in action.
But regardless of losing little details, the characters are finely executed and give a vibe of real and existing people which makes you dive into the movie.
As for the story, original, simple and beautiful as expected... Dreams connecting our protagonists together, truly shows originality and signature distance between people.
I like reference to dreams and how we forget them when we wake up, some really deep shit. Just another example of originality this show holds.
Arguably it could use bit more in depth and details to be presented, for instance we are only told that this phenomenon happened to Miyamizu family not the reason why this happens or how...
I am avoiding details, for the review is whether to watch it or not, which is why spoilers are out of question..
Art and animation feels real and smooth which is big plus.
*Overall - This movie feels like it needs more time, the story feels bit rushed and characters feel like outlines of what needs to be finished.
The art is wonderful and beautiful, and pure eye candy.
At some point of the show, the art feels like an intruder and out of place. I enjoyed this show very much and as I said it feels like it needs an hour more of screen time at least.
It is yet another gem and deserves every praise.
