RAVING REVIEW: <\/strong>How many emotions can you pack into a 40-minute anime short? Well, watch this and find out. It was captivating in every way!<\/p>\n

\n

You don’t often see the name GKIDS and think of anything less than impressive. They have become synonymous with quality and have helped bring so many fantastic anime films to a larger US audience that they may never have seen otherwise.<\/p>\n

This was a masterfully done short, with the ability to tell a complete story with heart and soul while keeping you on edge for what’s next. I was shocked at exactly what the trio of Tomoya, Aoi, and Ryo was able to bring to life through this story. <\/p>\n

There’s something about the simplicity of the story of the film that made it so intriguing. The different worlds come together, seeking a similar answer and having the fallout, rendering different results within each.<\/p>\n

My only real issue with the film is that I wish they had expanded it further. The story was inspired by a drawing from Illustrator Loundraw, who made their directorial debut with this beautiful but short coming-of-age story. Hopefully, with the success of the short, Loundraw can expand on this world and make more films or further this specific story.<\/p>\n

I would love to see this nominated for the animated short category; the run-time fits perfectly, and I would be genuinely surprised if this didn’t have a great chance of winning. It’s beautifully animated, and you can see the heart and passion that went into creating the film.<\/p>\n
