During a summer vacation at her grandfather’s house, six-year-old Hotaru Takegawa gets lost in a forest rumored to be inhabited by spirits. While crying out in desperation, Hotaru is approached by Gin—a mysterious boy wearing a mask—who offers to help her. Overjoyed at the sight of another person, Hotaru runs to Gin with open arms only to be rudely fended off. However, she quickly learns the grave reason behind his behavior: a dreadful curse has been cast upon Gin. Should he ever be touched by a human being, he will disappear forever. Though Gin urges her to never return, Hotaru does the exact opposite, and before too long, the two become close friends despite his delicate situation. Nonetheless, as years pass and their mutual feelings grow stronger, Hotaru and Gin start struggling with the boundaries that destiny has set between them. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Review : “Time might separate us some day. But, even still, until then, let’s stay together.” -Hotaru Takegawa Time is cruel. Time is responsible for the summers that come and go, for the leaves in autumn that shrivel and fall to the ground at the mercy of the next toddler looking to create satisfying crunching sounds, for the long and cold winters. You come to love the smell of rain in the spring or the cool breeze of a summer night and then poof. It’s gone. Much like a fleeting summer’s day, the main c…

Review : Hotarubi no Mori e is a calm story of love, growing up and the passage of time. It will charm you with it’s great visuals and a beautifully composed soundtrack, and that’s pretty much it for me. If this sounds like something you’ll like… good, go watch Natsume’s Book of Friends or Garden of Words, both of them way more worth your time then this. [THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS AHEAD NOW!!!] Now for the detail of why I didn’t like this movie: In this kind of short, emotional movie, the character…
