This was such a Captivating, Charming and Uplifting movie and I honestly wasn't expecting it to be this good.
Story : It deals with a girl who has a disability and cannot walk on her own and how her meeting with a young boy changed her life aswell as the boy's life and the girl's perceptions about life too. It's a really heartwarming and sad story but it has a happy ending and I won't spoil anything further for you because where's the fun in that? Right? All you should know that the story deals with the topic of pursuing your dreams and goals, no matter the obstacles and even if things look grim for you at one point, If you trudge through it then you're bound to reach a good point in your life.
Animation/Art : I honestly wasn't expecting it to be this gorgeous, Studio Bones really went all out with this one. Every scene has some charm and it all looks so beautiful. Zero complaints here.
Music/Soundtrack : The sound design really enhanced the whole experience for me. It was nothing over the top but it did what it was supposed to and to top it all off, They have Eve singing the Theme song for this and insert song which amplifies the whole experience. Eve (if you don't know is a very established Japanese singer who needs no introduction).
Verdict : All in all, A gorgeous movie with a very motivational message, a serious undertone and one that will stick with you for quite a while. I really love watching stuff that makes me feel emotional and also teaches me a lesson and this movie did just that. It made me sob a little and kept me entertained and above all taught me a valuable lesson that if you have a dream then go for it.
This movie deserves to be on a list of motivational anime movies for sure.
I'll honestly give this a 9/10.
