Well, it was spectacular. I don't just mean in terms of storyline and characters (these were OK, but not what made this film so amazing to me). What made the film so incredible to me was how realistically it depicted Tokyo.
I'm writing a book set in Tokyo right now (I've been working on it for about 2 years now), and I have to say that this was one of the greatest depictions of the city I've ever seen in an anime film. So realistic, and so true to life there.
I loved the countryside setting as well, and it all just made me so excited for a trip to Japan I'll be making in March of 2018. Can't wait now.
The premise for this story was pretty standard, and something we've seen before – body switching, the town mouse and the city mouse, gender swapping etc.
But it did it very well, and I can really say I enjoyed this. 8/10
