Summer Ghost

This movie really needs more attention, it's short but very beautiful and even relatable. The music is relaxing the animation is great and the message that this movie gives it's so well executed.

I just wish this movie was a little longer, but is still amazing.

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.

This anime was so relatable and not going to lie it did really open up some feelings from before because i did think that life was meaningless and death was the reason I was living because life did feel like a chore but as the anime progressed it showed how I also made that same progress of finding happiness again and that's why this anime is truly fabulous for putting the words that we sometimes can't express into reality. So low-key this is a comfort anime and would recommend for people who are going through the hard part of life because it shows that you have come a long way surviving despite not knowing that it will be worth it or not but it does worth it , nothing was in vain.

Summer Ghost doesn't really discover anything new about the story it's telling, we've seen it endless times in all media and the whole thing can be read like a book form the first scenes. Nonetheless, this densely packed 40 minutes long movie still managed to grasp my heart more than once. Definitely recommended.

First of all this is not a movie for everyone, The story requires a lot of interpretation with so little time because the movie's pace is really fast so pay attention!

With that being said, in 45 minutes they've done a pretty good job telling a story. If they got like 70+ minutes to tell more about backstory of each character even more, I believe this movie could be much more emotional.

Artstyle is great, although the animation seem rough, the lighting and color tone are make up for it. Which help a lot to understand the character's view of the world.

Soundtrack is also great. It fit pretty well with the story, which make the story even more emotional by the end.

Overall, 9.5/10: for a short movie, It's really great, and I suggest you give it a try. The only thing holding it back is the pacing. It feels like they want to tell more, but they don't have much time.
