        It's all about the execution

        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.

        It's beautiful

        If you going this kind of situation, it will make you cry a lot , it is something that touch your heart. The sound is good , it's makes you emotional.

        Really underrated

        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.

        Stunning but with one problem

        OK, the only problem is the duration should be at least 2 hours.

        This movie is beautiful, the animation is stunning and the main theme is great and 80% of the audience will probably relate.

        This movie is really underrated I really recommend to anyone it's just 40 minutes.

        Good story and really emotional.

        How come this movie has a score of 7? This movie was great, it doesn't deserve it.
