This movie has made has made quite a name for itself since its release and after watching it, it is no surprise why.
The story surrounds two teenagers, a boy and girl who, mysteriously, swap bodies with each other simultaneously day after day.
They say this one is a romance but to be frank, there isn’t much elements from your usual romance in this one, or so I feel like. It did have some good emotions. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t jerk any tears.
On the other hand, the music was great. The piano and the soundtrack all blended wonderfully to the jaw dropping animation.
In terms of animation, its one of the best I have personally seen. The movement is so natural and the lines are so clean and just, beautiful.
I do have to say the plot does leave the audience woozy every now and then, taking some buffering time to process what is going on.
Overall, excellent movie. It’s a lovely celebration of cinematography and animation. A fabulous ode to Japanese culture as well.
Do I think the hype for this is worth it? Not quite. Although great, I didn’t find a lot to call this one extraordinary.
But give it a go anyways :) I’m sure you’d like it.
