What an adorable stand alone short. It seems to be based on the 1930s short story of the same name (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaze_no_Matasaburo).

I enjoyed this short because the settings were beautiful, the character designs were cute, and the music was relaxing. I loved how the animals and kids interacted and were friends like it was no big deal. The worm crawling all over people's desks was hilarious!

If you like slice of life anime or shows with animal characters I would definitely recommend it. Nice for watching right before bed or on a lazy morning.

Just finished watching this and boy was it a cute film, I couldn't stop saying how cute it was during the 22 min lol. The voices and art were so cute. Gave me such a pure feeling of childhood ^_^

Really liked the super chill atmosphere, fantasy-like cast, but that ending.. just why? It left a bitter aftertaste..

Regardless, I wish there's more anime like this, reminiscence of old school Hayao Miyazaki movies but more slice of life.

Kinda disappointed. It seemed really cute and it was ok. The art is cute and the whole feel is nice but I didn't really see a point. Honestly kinda boring. I think it could have been much better cause it seemed like a cute story. I did like it though. Just wouldn't watch it twice.

It was a simple and sweet story. The countryside setting and atmosphere was really calm and I loved the concept of animals and kids studying together.

So what happened to Takada?? After she bailed school of faking her sickness she wasn't shown after.

I think the story wasn't serious and the animals in the classroom made it worse. But I liked the art though, but it could've been used to a better story. Matasuburou the guy in the title had no effect in the story and I felt he was just a side character, the story didn't focus on wind that much.

6/10.

As stated by literally everyone cute but sad that the girl just moved away like that. Gone like the wind i guess.

Loved the slice of life atmosphere in this one, much of it owing to the simple artwork and the music. The 3DCG blended really well with the 2D, something I'd actually like to see in another work. There wasn't really an ending to this one, but it was still enjoyable. The animal classmates were adorable, but poor turtle XD

So, this was another version of Matasaburou when the girl found out the god of the wind first rather the boy? To be honestly, this show had a soothing feels, so relaxing when you shut off your brain, and became nicer when you just enjoying a simplicity. However, its should be way better than that. I just really want a full version of this thing with a better ending. I feel like, so bad for those two kids. They got separated too fast. Even they did not have a good memories at all. The only one thing they had, just be forgotten too fast than i could imagine.

Oh, well, maybe i was too exaggerating. Nothing can i do, since this was just a trial animation to adapt the older anime. This show just some kind of thing that needs you to relax, and listen to their sounds only. No need to worried anything, just, enjoy, everything ....

Other than, its just too fine to me, at many aspects. Especially with their storyline.

So, 6/10.
