Bereamic Awesome Movie
Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
ajajunior It was nice, just the ending was not the best. But great story and art
TheMovieAndAnimeLover480 Hotarubi no mori e/ To the forest of Firefly Lights, is basically a 45 minute anime film, and is about Hotaru who is the main character, and she recounts a memory of her past with meeting, a spirit named Gin, and what happened after this event. The film is very emotional at times, especially, the ending which will pull your heart strings. It's also a very small film, in terms of characters, and story. This film can be watched at anytime (cause of the run time) and yet you feel many emotions after the film, and it will leave a small hole in your heart after being watched. Overall:8 out of 10
volkansayin1881 I think gin alone. Him life is tragedy. Hotaru is a surprise for gin. This anime is so pure. This is perfect. Gin happy to die but life for girl will be hard. There was a love that was quite innocent without exaggeration.He was very impressed with me. Good job in a short time. How bad it is to get lost among your hands while you are hugging your love.
mixalisteo This film is the epitome of 'short yet full' way of telling a story.It is about childhood, and the difficulties of being alone as a kid.It uses an extraordinary almost ethereal character to guide the girl - and the audience - through the one way travel of growing up and the lessons you learn along the way.It explores a child's view on mortality, love, and friendship all in one.Finally, it is about leaving childhood behind and moving on while keeping the memories alive either happy ones or sad ones.It's an unmissable experience that will leave you with a sweet yet nostalgic feeling.Its a masterpiece in every aspect.
