I watched it at first without having any expectations in particular and ended up ugly crying all the tears I had in my body.
This is the type of movie where words cannot describe the amount of raw and pure emotion it holds. It flawlessly conveys the universal theme of love, more specifically, parental and maternal love. It's so much more powerful and impactful than your typical teenage romance, which is also really refreshing to see.
The characters are endearing, the art is beautiful and colourful, and the OST is delicate, profound, and is used so well in the movie that it stands very well on its own.
If you want a bittersweet and heartfelt storyline, Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms is the movie that you must watch if you don't want to miss something outstanding.
