Ame wo Tsugeru Hyouryuu Danchi

Ever since the death of his grandfather, Yasuji, Kousuke Kumagaya has grown distant from his close friend, Natsume Tonai. Having grown up together like siblings in the same apartment building, the two now find themselves at odds with one another due to Natsume's inability to let go of the past. This rift is further exacerbated by the news that their former complex will soon be demolished.

Hearing about a ghost that is supposedly haunting the old complex, Kousuke's friends drag him into the demolition site to look around. When Kousuke finds that Natsume is also there, they get into an argument over an old camera that once belonged to Yasuji. This results in Natsume running off with it, but just as she is about to fall off the rooftop, a torrential downpour envelops the entire building, flooding the ground around it.

The young children now find themselves drifting at sea with the apartment building acting as their ship. Unable to communicate with the rest of the world, Natsume and Kousuke must reconcile their differences if they want to stand a chance at finding their way home.

From my perspective, the story is unique. I watched it with my siblings. I like to enjoy adventure films where a child does something interesting. This anime's storyline is good and the twist is normal, but it takes time to understand the main story.

Though it is a fictional anime story, the characters are not well expressed in an emotional way. However, some points are really good like how children are straightforward and can't make good decisions. These things are nicely shown in the anime. I think it will be good for children. The attachment to the place in our memories is shown ... perfectly. I'm sure they will enjoy this anime.

Thank you for reading my review 🩵. Now, watch it and enjoy it.

Mixed Feelings

Stunning visual - which contributes to most of my rating for this. Another that contributes is the kids' ingenuity in surviving with limited resources.

Plot and concept isn't new, but they don't detract from the watching experience or the rating. What did, is how long this movie dragged on, just to prolong the melodrama. Noppo and Natsume should be the characters easiest to sympathize with (in my opinion), but the meandering drama and supposedly tear-jerking moments prevented me from truly feel for them. There are moments when Natsume just stood there, absorbed in a reminiscence, when they were pressed for time and could not afford to ... do that. The first half of the movie is entertaining and intriguing enough, but past the 1-hour mark, it's just mostly filler (and drama). And there are plot points left unexplainable, which I will not say here to avoid spoilers.

Regarding the characters, the kids can feel annoying at times, but it can be understood that it is just kids being kids. The main character, Kosuke, though, put me off by how unnecessarily callous he was to Natsume at the beginning. What had the girl done to you, my man? Are you seriously mad at her for grieving? He did develop throughout the movie, which is a good thing, but personally, the damage has already been done.

I hate this movie it was a waste of time and the pacing is fucking awful. WHY IS IT TWO HOURS LONG!!!!! its so repetitive and shit just happens for no reason. seriously just skip this movie.

I cabt believe that they squandered the budget and animation on this horrible story.. It has little nuggets of what could be a cool story but irs so boring. Its like nothing happens for an hour and then suddenly shit woht stop happening.

Theres a character that just shows up out of nowhere with no introduction. YOU HAD 2 HOURS OF MOVIE AND YOU SKIPPED THAT BUT NOT 1/45 ... TIMES THE CHARACTERS ARE JUST BICKERING

UGH
