Hoshimachi SuiseiMusic and lyrics by Sakuma

This is an instant hit if you're looking for a wonderful coming of age tale of what happens when you take for granted the norms in life, in exchange for the extravagant leap into the unknown. The characters have great chemistry - the messages and inspirational tones hit many notes, from low somber briefs to high exhilaration, all thanks to the chemistry between characters and natural progression with the plot.

This story comes full circle, leaves nothing out or desired for- it, on its own, is a star

This film really nails together a great progression that'll have you feeling many emotions, ones as extravagant as our protagonists' dreams.If you're looking for a beautiful anime across the board - whether it be the stunning visuals, the heart felt tones, or the great time of being youthful while we can, I can't recommend the film enough.
