"A beautiful animation in the style of Studio Ghibli. 'Ame wo Tsugeru Hyôryû Danchi', by Hitoyasu Ishida, tells a story about the power of friendship and the meaning of life. It's not just the narrative that's good, the visuals are also stunning. Through two childhood friends who were no longer so close, we meet a housing complex that is about to be demolished and brings them back together in a spiral of good memories. The place is also magical and transports them to another reality. The boys must unite more than ever in a dense journey of maturity. In this context, we dive into a rather complex plot in the emotional sector."
