Summer Ghost 2021 JAPANESE 720p BluRay x264
Tha movie had great potential. The story line was lovely and it was a real tear jerker. However, there was too much content to be simply covered in 40 minutes. An anime adaptation or a 2 hour long movie would have been fitting. The art is marvellous and pleasing to the eye. The voice acting is decent. But the movie didn't do the story justice. It felt- rushed. We didn't get to familiarise ourself with the characters and we didn't get to see their story properly. We didn't get to see the characters develop their friendship and there werent many scenes to show that they were friends. The backstory of each and every character was rushed. There are certain story telling styles in which the story is told in an ambiguous manner to make the viewer decipher the story themself. The story telling was similiar, but it felt rushed even then. They were put together poorly. This could have been better if the characters had more to them. The simplicity simply made the movie mid. It could have been amazing, but it wasn't up to the mark. The movie left me feeling somewhat unsatisfied. All in all, it was a good movie with a deep and amazing story but poor story telling. Give it a watch.
