I rarely write reviews (and when I do they are very short), but this anime moved me so much that I feel that I must write one.

These four episodes are emotionally powerful especially at their close; the beautiful art and animation style only enforces how deeply affected I was by this anime.

It is very well paced except seeming slow at times, but since the series in all is about half an hour it should not make much of a difference. There are only four characters and the main two are very nicely fleshed out, and even one of the others (the mother) has a very ... clear-cut personality and ambience to her. They feel very much like typical people (and cat!) but they are lovely characters all the same.

The sound in general was pleasant but not all too interesting, although not hard on the ears by any means. It is always nicely placed as well.

The quick story within four 7-minute episodes felt much longer than it was and for good reason - it had more depth and felt more "full" than most longer animes I have seen.

It may look a the surface to just be a short story about a girl and a cat - and it is - but please give this a watch.

This movie was a lot better than I expected. What I originally thought was a low budget movie with a generic plot was actually a beautiful, enjoyable tale that made me cry. It's a story about family, about growing up, and being who you are, regardless of what other people may tell you. There is nothing about the story I didn't like, and the plot seemed full and the movie was brought to a close nicely. The characters, although not really relatable, were lovable, believable and entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and I think you would too!

This is one of the most atmospheric movies I've seen in awhile. It's very abstract, the animation and character design is very well done, especially for its age. This story stresses on friendship and makes you reflect on life. It impacted me very emotionally at the end, and there were many scenes I did not expect at all. The music, especially, was very well placed, and pleasing to the ear. Overall, this is the kind of movie I would love to show to all of my friends.
