Hoshimachi Suisei Music & lyrics by Sakuma
This is an instant hit if you’re looking for a wonderful coming-of-age story about what happens when you take life’s norms for granted in exchange for an extravagant leap into the unknown. The characters have great chemistry – the inspiring messages and tones hit many notes, from low and somber summaries to high euphoria, all thanks to the chemistry between the characters and the natural progression of the plot.
This story is complete, it leaves nothing out or wants for – it is, in and of itself, a star
This movie really does achieve a great progression that will make you feel many emotions, some as outlandish as our protagonists’ dreams. If you’re looking for an anime that’s beautiful in every sense, be it stunning visuals, touching tones, or the good time to be young while we can, I can’t recommend the movie enough.
