Upon watching Skye Hoshi, it doesn't take long to recognize that this movie is a labor of love. The directors, producers, cast and crew have clearly put their heart and soul not only into the memorable and endearing characters, but into the story and into fandom culture itself. The acting is great, the music is top notch, the premise is original and captivating, and the film celebrates its audience rather than talking down to it. Skye Hoshi: Anime Girl has all the ingredients to build a passionate fanbase. You owe it to yourself to check out this fun, emotional, funny, exciting example of a movie that's a welcoming love letter to its audience.

A fun, funny, engaging and entertaining movie. All the performances are right on the mark. The filming is great giving just the right sense of place and action. The music is outstanding. Kalani Hubbard is gifted. Not only did he write and direct and act in Sky Hoshi, he wrote four of the songs as well and they are really good songs.

If you are eager for a movie you can watch with your kids or your parents or grandparents with lots of laughs and suspense, no violence and a clever premise then you will surely enjoy Sky Hoshi. And it has a great message about the gifts we have been granted through the use of our senses and our heart.

Skye Hoshi features an outrageously fun plot and a talented cast. I wasn't sure what to expect with this film but ended up really enjoying it. The actors were all very well suited for their roles, and the character acting was on point at all times. Kira, Marvin, and Mr. Mario all shined bright as supporting cast, and Skye and Atom kept the improbable plot rolling smooth and believably with their dedication to the characters.

I think I will have to check out the others films by Pure Magic Pictures. They obviously put their heart and soul into this film.

I am looking forward to seeing the sequel, and dare I hope the trilogy?

During a 14-hour flight, I decided to break away from Hollywood's usual fare. After back-to-back viewings of The Pursuit of Happyness and The Founder, I realized way many mainstream films follow the same formulaic patterns. Determined to find something truly unique, I came across Skye Hoshi. The intriguing cover art and description immediately caught my eye, and after watching the trailer, I decided to give it a chance. While I wouldn't describe myself as an anime enthusiast, I approached it with an open mind.

To my delight, Skye Hoshi delivered a refreshingly original story with excellent pacing that held my attention from start to finish. The film had a distinctive charm, occasionally evoking a Scott Pilgrim vs. The World vibe. Skye reminded me of Ramona Flowers, and the bands brought back similar energy. At times, it also called to mind The Secret Lives of Dorks, particularly in how it creatively wove elements of comic book culture into the narrative.

The ending was a pleasant surprise, tying up loose ends and rewarding the audience with clever callbacks and well-placed foreshadowing. The writing was genuinely sharp, with moments of humor that felt natural. The characters had depth, with strong arcs that made them memorable and relatable. Skye, in particular, stood out - sweet, (mostly) innocent, and utterly endearing. I couldn't help but wish for my own "Skye Hoshi" by the end.

Once I returned home, I ended up purchasing the Blu-ray to support this indie studio & rewatch the film at home. The music has since made its way onto my playlists, and I'm eagerly awaiting the sequel. Kudos to the writers and producers for crafting such a standout indie film - I can't wait to see what they come up with next.

I had such a great time watching Skye Hoshi!!! Shout out to the director, cast and crew for all of their hard work and effort to create such a great film.

From the beginning it was engaging, funny, and I had a smile on my face the entire movie. Olivia did such an amazing job playing the role of Skye, and definitely created a Skye Hoshi fan out of me! You can't help but fall in love with Skye from the moment she falls out of the poster, to the end when she gives Kira a taste of her own medicine.

10/10 would definitely recommend you watch this. Great job everyone!

I hope there is a sequel in the works!!
