If you enjoy dramatic movies, then by all means, watch this film and cry your pancreas out. If you're still not sure, then here's the review.
The story isn't anything special. However, I have to admit that it works out in the movie's favor. It makes you love the characters, then it takes them away and never gives them back.
The art is beautiful, but I guess I have to say, as expected of a movie production level anime. The voice-acting and vocals are also great.
Sakura is very likable, but at times, I found myself extremely annoyed by Haruki. Haruki's character does develop over the course of the movie, thanks to his meeting with Sakura, so if you also find him annoying at first, you need not worry yourself. Just sit back, and enjoy the suffering, followed by what could perhaps be considered wholesome in a sense.
I was completely immersed in the movie as I was watching it, and felt quite a few emotions while watching it. Needless to say, prepare some tissues beforehand, cause if you're not emotionally dead inside, then you'll be needing them.
Thanks for reading this review!
