The film is best described as cute and warm. The animation was simplistic but beautiful (especially for the time of the film’s creation). The “Country Road” song getting repeated so much in the film was rather hilarious considering what a meme the song has become in recent years. It’s certainly an interesting song to set as the film’s anthem of sorts.

Felt a little like a “teen angst” anime at times, but it was kept fairly lighthearted and it quickly turned back to a fairy tale love story. There were moments where it just felt like an adventure, but it kept going back to the young love and drama, most of which felt like very stereotypical teen drama.

There were definitely moments that felt weird as the main character would change attitude every couple sentences in away that felt more like inconsistency than character development.

Overall, it was a pretty cute and happy anime film that was lighthearted and adventurous enough to keep me content.
