I was very much vary of how this anime might proceed further, but I must say all the character development and the way story progressed was amazing.

The story definitely has its own unique settings and storyline.

The art style is amazing, with great use of fluid animation.

The Characters were appropriately influenced by their emotions and took the right course and met the appropriate fate.

The portrayal of a range of emotions within each character how these emotions shape them and with great fight scenes will want you craving more. The climax was more than satisfying all in all, the anime always keeps you on the edge, ... and you might never expect few twists and turns. It has brilliant animation and story progression.


Definitely recommended !

Describing the movie in Two words: Beautifully ABSTRACT.

Made my heart flutter in the very starting with its Tu Tu ru Rururu ru rururururururuururu.

Animation:
So first coming to the animation, Suzume No Tojimari doesn't cut any corners in that aspect, it's visually extremely pleasing and has one of the best animations I've ever come across. The character's emotions have been very intricately portrayed with each and every detail which is damn amazing.

Plot Review:
If you like fast pace storyline concentrating on the crux of the story, Suzume No Tojimari does that really well. The run time of 2hrs has been used very well to convey a ... beautiful story. The plot will always keep you hooked on the storyline. The subtle humor relevant to the story and the emotional portrayal of the characters is great. How the past is connected to the present and how this connection brings the story to a complete circle, that's what I found most beautiful about the Movie.

Characters :
Finally coming to the characters, talking about our titular MC Suzume, she's got great and if I may say so pleasant expressions throughout the movie. The way she carries herself and displays her motions is something we all look for in our ideal Anime MCs. She's humane, has been building up thoughts inside her, and gets irritated all these are really pleasing to see. She is a complex character whose character plot has been written really intricately with much thought behind the making of Suzume.

Although a short role but one of the things I loved about Suzume was her Relation with Tamaki, her aunt. They go through their fair share of Ups and Downs and form a great bond overall.

Souta is another MC with complex details but, the plot line doesn't allow him much spotlight throughout the movie. All the understanding you could build about him was from his background m which was done very well. I just hoped a better backstory for Souta could have made his character more relatable and understanding.

Seirezawa was another character that deserves a mention, it's well developed and has more substance to him, I felt a little bit more substance even than Souta.

Daijin is also an adorable and necessary evil and his relationship with Suzume is one of the most interesting things that you'd love as an audience throughout.

Overall characters that appear throughout are very pleasing and blend into the storyline well with great development for every one of them.

Final Thoughts :

The movie puts together a beautiful story and has great animation, making it a true visual spectacle. It will appeal to your emotions and at the same time appease and please you with its serenity beauty and of course its brilliant music. It's a gripping movie that won't disappoint you.

Watch the movie with an open mind the movie has its own way of appealing to the audience therefore it'd be wrong to compare it with any other works of Makoto Shinkai or other anime. It's got a beauty of its own.

It's a must-watch and I recommend it to be watched at the theater for a spectacular visual treat.

Most of the audience has written negative reviews, I respect all of them.

But to be honest, I can understand this response as this is an Anime with a very Abstract theme. It's very specific and designed to align with a realistic point of view and emotions.

To understand anime we need to really think from the viewpoint of MCs. Touko and Kakeru are both very complicated characters in a very complicated situations and how they deal with their circumstances forms the crux of the story.

Once you relate to the story it really hits the mark and you realize how beautifully its been thought. A very Unique ... and Different anime that I have come across, It was really delightful.

Kakeru and Touko both the MCs have great depth and the bond shared by Touko and her friends has also been kept very realistic rather than the very grand bond of unbreakable friendship that is usually the case in classic anime.

If you take a liking to life philosophy and very realistic situation settings with a tint of fantasy, you'll surely understand why I gave it an 8 despite its overall low score and negative reviews.

It was an alright story.

The story progression was messed up, and the plot was all over the place.

Could have had this run for a few more episodes to bring the story together.

The MC especially Erika and Kouhei needed more substance and character development.
The theme was well picked up, on vampires and the school setting was great but depth in each character was major missing.

Introducing a rivalry for Sendou could have had maybe a better impact on the storyline.
...
In the end, the anime leave the viewers with mixed feelings, and sadly the anime did not get another season, now we know why.

Great ending, the best part about the anime for me was the MC was very well conceptualized.

Yu is not some perfect MC with a very gentle and caring side, he turns insane and had shortcomings and vulnerabilities as we do. It was his flaws that made me take a liking to him.

Loved all the other characters and the way story had maturity associated with it was amazing to watch.

It's not your generic anime storyline rather it's got its unique vibe you'll feel excited, at times feel heartbreak and also feel hope while watching this great piece of art.

It is a beautiful Anime with, a very well-planned storyline.

Characters, despite their age, have great maturity. It's a show crafted very close to real-life situations. Kokoro especially comes out as a great character who handles her demons of the past in the best way. Coming to Yusuzu, her character at times, is adorable, and at the same time few places I found her very annoying too. Exactly what a typical 5-year-old should be like.

The story is very well-rounded and with its heartfelt moments and warmth, this anime can is one of my top recommendations.

Don't expect Romance as its core theme, it has just the ... right amount of romance. Being an Ideal Slice of Life anime.

Great Entertainer. The best part is the anime's potential to garner attention right from the first episode and keep the viewers very engaged and entertained till the end, it's a remarkable feat.

Some questions I feel could have been answered, like did they ever tell Miri the truth? I feel this could have been a big crux of the anime, as to how their dynamic as a family would have been affected if she found out about her past after growing up. It'd have been really interesting. Just this one point bums me out. It'd be great if they could make some movie or OVA for ... this but anyways.

Overall yeah it was a great watch.

Initial Impressions , there are many similarities one can draw out when comparing this anime to Komi-san wa, Comyushou desu. as the centreline plot remains same female MC with socialising issue befriends male MC character and expands their group gradually.

But the real differentiator is the animation and the character arts itself the character Aharen-san is simply too adorable to be judged harshly as an anime reviewer. Thanks to the character art and animation the character has come out to be very heartwarming and adorable.

Also the male MC Raidou-kun although very bland has a different vibe to him as he continues his interaction with Aharen-san ... and we eventually see there's more to the character than just plain blandness.

Adding the side character Mitsuki also adds to the story development quite a bit as protective girl-friend Aharen-san has.

All in all the its very interesting to watch the comic daily lives of Aharen-san and Raidou-kun , the fun and adorable moments is a delight if you're looking for a getaway from your daily hustle.

As a fan of soccer anime after going through Hungry Heart: Wild Striker , Giant Killing , Area no Kishi , inazuma eleven , Days etc in the category of realistic Anime I feel the freshness of this anime in particular. Unlike the " newbie main protagonist with hidden potential and a central rival" plotline , it has a different take very unconventional one but refreshing and different which is really enjoyable to watch.

The way characters have been developed in just 5 episodes are really commendable and its rare to see in Anime nowadays. Hats-off to the Art and story team a commendable job done ... with animation as well as story development.

The great thing pulled off is the character "Ashito" in particular isn't very attractive or great features , he rather is messy with a hint of a gag character in his personality at times, but his sheer tenacity and personality related to soccer and his feelings for his family is what gets you hooked up on this MC and ultimately the anime it self.

Well its still too early to get a full all out review as it ongoing and out with only 5 episodes but as promising as it seems , i expect it has the potential to become one the best.

Stay tuned for more updates , i'll keep posting more reviews as the anime goes on.

Thank You.
