This Anime movie had been playing for quite some time in Indonesian theaters. I was intrigued after reading the synopsis and was hoping for another beautiful anime movie that I loved so much titled Your Name (Kimi No Na Wa). When I finally had the chance yesterday after my work, I rather "forced" myself to see the movie in Pacific Place, as it happened to be the only remaining cinema in Jakarta still playing the film. It was also the last show of the day. So how was the movie itself? Let us find out more.
Brief Story Line
Story started with Shōya Ishida (Mayu Matsuoka) in his elementary school years where he was quite popular and had lots of friends. One day, a new girl named Shōko Nishimiya (Saori Hayami) enrolled at the school. All the students were surprised to find out that she was deaf. At first they were able to accept her, but after a while, it was clear that she was having difficulty fitting in. One girl in particular named Naoka Ueno (Yūki Kaneko) was very unhappy with her. And with her influence being a popular girl, her best friend Kawai Miki (Megumi Han) was also doing the same thing. Only one girl named Miyoko Sahara (Yui Ishikawa) who was kind to Shōko.
