⚠️ SPOILER ALERT ⚠️
That's why today I bring you a review of this movie. Before I start, I'll tell you that I just finished watching the film and I have all the ideas quite fresh, so I prefer to make a much more organic post, as I think it is the best way to express what this film tells us. So going straight to the topic, the film, directed byMari Okada was released as I said on Netflix after only four months of being released in Japan and the reason for this is because in Japan this film was a failure.
Let's remember that anime movies in Japan usually take between six or seven months to reach
I didn't think it was too bad either. As the film went on, I understood everything, since at the beginning the film just gives you a preview of everything that is happening but does not explain anything at all, those explanations are given throughout the two hours of the film, so it's like you're putting pieces together to finally understand the whole story. The explosion happens and that does not explain everything that is happening in the town, the protagonist of the story begins to relate to a girl, which he did not like, but the more he gets to know her, A falls in love. On that day, this girl takes him to the steel factory, where the disaster occurred and there he sees that he has a girl in captivity. There she explains to him that the girl is the cause of the disasters and that she has to take care of her.
This is how, with a lot of problems, they manage to get her on the train that goes to that reality and thus she is reunited with her parents and the cracks that had been created in her world are closed. Unfortunately something that we wanted to be and didn't happen was the reunion of this girl with her parents, that didn't happen, but we do have almost at the end the scene of her going back to the steel factory and seeing the drawings that her father made. As I say, for me it was a movie that I liked, I think they killed a lot of criticism, but I understand that it leaves many things unanswered. In the end I also feel that the death of some characters that I thought were going to return later when everything was solved, but they never returned, so it seems that at the time their deaths do not affect so much and to finish the post, we can not leave without talking a little about the technical aspect and how this film was carried out.

I agree, I understand why the critics could say that they did not understand anything about the movies, these peculiar stories are always confusing to understand perfectly and when the narrative plays with the same intrigue of what is happening to let you discover the story by yourself it becomes more confusing, the truth seemed to me something curious and I think I will look for it to see it at some point, at the moment I liked the animation.
I've always found it curious how some stories and anime can be very popular in Japan and outside not be so loved or vice versa haha, in the end for the industry the most important thing is the sales in Japan as a measure of quality.

I think the reason why it has been more successful on NETFLIX than in its country of origin, Japan, is due to the great intercultural difference that separates us, the Japanese are very different from the Westerners in terms of their customs and other everyday things of life.Thank you for your comment.

Interesting plot here, it looks like the kind of story that calls my attention from the beginning.
I'll check it out soon.
It would be a very good idea for you to see it, I recommend it and you will realize that from the beginning it will captivate you.
Maybe the criticisms come from that side, they didn't understand the plot or they don't like complicated plots.
I haven't watched this movie, but I'm glad that you didn't let the negative reviews guide you too much and you were encouraged to watch it and find out that you liked it.
The animation looks good and even though I already got the spoiler haha it doesn't matter, I knew I would get it and the plot reads interesting 👌
The same is my friend, although it is a slightly complicated story, it is still a beautiful story that at the end of everything is always about love. Thank you for your comment.
