?Alert: This movie has the most fantastic background graphics, equal in quality to the very best ? like ?Cowboy Bebop? or something from studio Ghibli (?Spirited Away?). Just wonderful color of the sunsets, schools houses etc. As a teen slice of life/tentative romance/drama the story seems like it could be cliche', but they do interesting things with it, make it more dramatic in the middle, and at the end i was satisfied. The emotional depth sort of sneaks up on you. Sounds were well-integrated into the film and the voice actors were spot-on in their portrayals. Just a fine experience watching this on here in Asia. Highly recommended for all, but a must for anyone who's into anime. Wow I'm gonna look out for anything by this studio and director in the future!? ? IMDB.com
