The animation, no doubt, is great, a different way that agrees with the anime in a very good way, everything is a little lost, but well done and detailed, the character design is beautiful and the landscapes and vibe, all in order to pass the idea that the anime wants to pass.
The soundtrack by Sonny Boy is very good! The songs match and make important analogies with the story of the anime, especially the ending (perfect!), the songs are always passing that feeling of calmness, but also of confuition and animation! The sound of the objects and the voice actors were great and well mixed!
The characters are charismatic, mysterious, and there are several interpretations for each of them.
Nagara is a nice way to show how a teenager can find himself and know who he is and overcome his fears, and learn to relate to people and become friendly and understanding.
Nozomi is mysterious, we never really know what she is thinking, and this makes her amazing, since at the same time she helps others to find themselves, she also wants to find herself and find the "light".
Mizuho, starts as a spoiled girl, but as time goes by we realize her kindness and even her feelings, she starts also very closed and dependent, but throughout the anime she becomes friendly and a little more patient and independent.
Rajdhani is a very intelligent guy and is always looking for the new and willing to help others, without losing his will, essential character for the growth of Mizuho and Nagara, great friend and super smart, maybe the ignorance of some showed, once again, a criticism in the anime, the disbelief in science.
About Asakaze, we noticed someone passionate but boring, tsundere hahaha, his progress is very connected to his emotions and how he deals with them and his relationship with people is also interesting, especially in relation to Nozomi.
Hoshi, at first I was scared of him, but as the story went on we saw that he has the same goal as everyone else, but he pursues it in a different way.
And about Yamabiko, very interesting and well worked out, one of the most striking stories of the anime, amazing. You may get tired in some episodes, but don't lose focus, because they are essential, and this makes up for everything, the anime doesn't get lost in relation to its objective, the existentialism and criticism of society, besides, the characters are charismatic and the soundtrack is perfect!
A great anime, story, reflection/philosophy, amazing animation, great characters, splendid soundtrack and everything else! Watch Sonny Boy!
