Her Blue Sky

Anime sobre una adolescente amante de la música que, después de trece años se reencuentra con el exnovio de su hermana mayor. Sin embargo, un hombre en depresión y prematuramente envejecido se le aparece como un espíritu de trece años más joven como lo recuerda desde la niñez. La historia dramática con elementos mágicos, musicales y románticos sobresale con el fantástico material gráfico y los motivos detrás de las personas que hacen que cambien con el tiempo. El papel principal lo interpreta la ira adolescente, un dilema amoroso, los lazos familiares y el choque de ambiciones con la realidad, que roban a una persona sus sueños y visiones antiguas. Pero la narrativa tendría que ser más concreta y no estar diluida por personajes secundarios y movimientos innecesarios (por ejemplo, sobre el tema de la financiación urbana). Varias escenas emocionalmente impresionantes del transcurso de la película resuenan mucho más que un simple final, en el que incluso el plano musical de la historia suena vacío. (21.10.2019)

Did Makoto Shinkai with his movie Your Name open the door for other studios who are now getting away with producing supernatural romance dramas? It looks this way... Anyway, out of the four anime movies I have stuffed into my imaginary gunny sack in 2019 of supernatural romance dramas, this one is definitely among the better ones even though it is not quite perfect. As a viewer, I thought it presented some pretty interesting ideas and subject matter pretty well. The character motivations and behavior are also quite believable. The storyline and the struggles depicted made sense to me most of the time, except perhaps for one moment near the end. I thought that it even worked on an emotional level too. However,! After saying that, I did not really like the main female character who I sometimes found irritating and the movie was also unnecessarily long-winded... Despite all this, I still found it appealing and I would also like to mention the animation which was, in my opinion, very good. After I had finished watching it, I was left wracking my brain wondering how a confrontation between me and my much younger version would turn out... In the end, I resolved this issue after reading a review of the movie that contained the quote: "Never regret your past, and never give up on your future'', which was enough to snap me out of that mental funk. 7/10.
