Such a promising premise with many possibilities and potential, only to be ruined by cliche romance. 

Pretty animation. That's all.

Plot: I feel like this anime is a good one and how kaoru would do anything just to see his sister again it really shows on how you have to treasure things before they are gone forever and how he left his sister behind as a sign of letting her go.

Animation: the animation was amazing on the plane while I watching it, the animations were smooth and I didn't catch any flaws while I was watching.

Sound: the sounds were relaxing and calm and it switches it when there is a change of tempo with the characters feelings.

Characters: I really liked their designs and thats all.

Overall I liked this anime and I cant really remember it that much but I think I got it correct.

This was just a random pick for me to watch, and it surprised me how intersting it was.  This is a romance story mixed with some fantasy that follows the MC and his discovery of a tunnel that will allow him to find what he regrets and he encounters a girl before this that he gets close to as they both try to figure out the tunnel and they both have goals to use it.  It is a well done story that focuses on two high schoolers that are dealing with issues that they have from bad experiences they endured.  By finding this tunnel they believe they can solve their problems.  The only problem is that the tunnel has a different time and space than the real world and going into it makes you lose a massive amount of time.  This causes a tragic issue in the movie, self inflicted would.  It is a good story with romance, school life, personal issues, and fantasy all rolled into one anime.  I think most would enjoy this to some degree, even if they may disagree with the MC's decisions in the movie.  Enjoy!

𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐖   >>>  This is a story about our two main characters; one who's coming to terms with his past and one who's finding a future to fulfill her grandpa's dream.

The tunnel is a labyrinth where time runs slower than the outside world. Our characters go inside the tunnel for their past and/or future, but one thing they ignore is that, spending too much past or future makes you forgot about the present. While we are hung up on our dreams and mistakes, the world around us moves away. And it can never be bought back.

The cute romance takes the spotlight, but the movie is too short to give a fleshed out development for its characters. As for the visuals, studio "CLAP" really did well. Every scene including the tunnel is mesmerizing. I only wish the movie was a bit longer and gave more screen time elaborating their struggles.

I think this is a good movie. Though I wish it did a bit better at a few elements, it is about a boy coming to terms with his regrets of past and a girl finding the courage to overcome her fear of future. And the present they found together.
