A really full-hearted and moving anime

Rating: 9/10 (1 May 2020)

I must say I though it would have been hard to find a director who could hold a candle to master Miyazaki but here comes Makoto Shinkai with this tender and soft yet profound story.
What really hit me hard, besides the artistic direction which was stunning, was the unexpected plot twist that gets the story really interesting driving it from a funny and light teen-based comedy to a really remarkable reflection about time, space and the interconnectivity through all things.
The only "bad" note I can make is about the soundtrack. Not as in it wasn't good, but in the way that I didn't quite like all songs; but maybe I'm just too used to the highest Joe Hisaishi standards.
In conclusion I can't really believe I waited all these years to finally enjoy this touching story and if by any chance you're reading this, don't waste any more time and jump into this beautiful tale and get lost in it like I did.
