Interesting story and animation is pretty good.

This story is here to put us back to earth, because it's not a love fantasy we all have in our heads.

Frankly, ending came out of nowhere, because the whole time story was leading us in the wrong direction.

I'm not a fan of the ending, but that doesn't make this movie bad.

Anime gave us a really nice lesson: It's not our fault for pointing out other's mistakes. Not everyone who cares about us loves us romantically.

Just because I've watched some animes that are better than this one, I'm giving this one a 8.

It's definitely worth watching.

If you're emotional then prepare tissues. :-)

The first mistake we all make is to expect it to match with the type of films what Isao Takahata, Hayao Miyazaki, Mamoru Hosada and few others direct. I meant thematically; either sci-fi, fantasy or the drama with the teen or the tween characters in the lead. Because technically this was a wonderful animation, but I was not impressed with the story, otherwise as usual, my writing would have been very long with the film quotes and other discussions.

For the beautifully sketched characters like this, the film totally wasted an opportunity. Should have been a beautiful love story or a pure fantasy, but it was a bit of uninspiring school drama that I kind frequently lost interest while watching.

I remind who wanted to watch it that it was a simple story which was like some kind of a television episode. The fantasy parts were too small to notice and the love story was very boring to emotionally feel it. It might suit for those who're seeking matured contents in an anime fantasy-romance than a cute and quirky narration. My point is it is for adults than children.

Overall, it failed to reach my expectations, but the online film rating says many has liked it. So don't mind me if you're considering it, but my review causing confusion. Because you should not have to feel what I felt, everything I said in the review is from my personal viewpoint. So I believe your opinion might differ from mine.

5/10

I really liked the film, even if it was slow paced. The Japanese voice actors had good singing voices such as Inori Minase as Jun. i loved when her character belted out a song at the best end of the film, it gave you such goosebumps and the fact her character came out of her shell to speak! I mean for a girl who had a selfish father and a selfish Prince egg who took her voice ( like Disney's Little Mermaid),she really fought both back in the end!

Also I can see from some of the other reviews here that they didn't like the couple matching (Takumi x Natsuki & Daiki x Jun). However it was actually a nice surprise in my personal opinion cause I didn't mind who was matched with whom! It's even a nice change like you hardly get to see a sweet girl who goes out with a delinquent in anime. I'm sure there's some but I'll just have to research more hehe!

Good movie, definitely watch if you don't mind it's slow pacing and of course if you wanna hear nice music too ^^
