I've got mixed feelings about this to be honest the animation was so gorgeous that I just couldn't take my eyes off of this anime for one second. But then again the voice acting seemed lacking compared to the images and the plot was rushed. I can't really blame them though as it's hard to tell a story that seemed this "deep" in such a short amount of time. For what it was they did a pretty good job, but I feel like it could of been much longer. Loved the animation though it was so so good ! :)

I wouldn't recommend this one, but personally I found it interesting and it had an awesome animation. I didn't like the fact that it was such a short story (like 24 minutes), but in general I enjoyed it. In my opinion, you should watch it if you're looking for a short and cute story about 2 high school guys trying to help a foreign girl.

So what to say... it wasn't a satisfying watch.

You have to give it that the animation is very beautiful and so is the environmental art. It is reminiscent of Summer Wars or The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.

The voice acting can be up for discussion. The voices lack the usual tone found in anime, so they can be seen as either dull or as realistic.

The movie is using the motive of two boys rekindling their relationship. The reason? The mysterious girl whose name is already spoilered in the title. Still, they used it as the "reveal" at the end... really?
Also, one might think that the supernatural event revolving around the girl be the focus of the anime. However, the amount of contradictions and plot holes involving the event and the girl made this part of the story entirely unsatisfying to me. And that what was left, the relationship between the boys, was unremarkable, too. 

I don't want to say that the story was terrible, it was just really, really average. To the point that I felt like the studio just wanted to show off the animation and the pretty art. 

With the whole movie spanning about 26 minutes, you might give it a shot, but to me, there are loads of movies more worthwhile than this one.
