Before you call me a weeb, let me explain. I found this movie on Netflix at 2 am. I had just finished Zootopia (Disney+ is all we need these days, kids) and I've always wanted to watch anime but I don't have the patience for TV shows so it was kind of perfect. A movie...But an anime...Wow. Anyway it really touched my heart. Anime has a reputation of making these cutesy little girls and these flawless, buff men, but this one was so much more realistic. The characters were well thought out and all had these deep backstories that just sucked you in. I just can't help but fall in love with it and the message. I only took off one star because it was a bit slow. Also the main couple doesn't actually get together so that's left to your imagination (Kinda sad but itS FINE).
