Set at the Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine in the Kumamoto Prefecture of Japan, the film opens with Hotaru (who looks like Hana of the Wolf Children for me) preparing to set off on a journey in the middle of summer. Even though it was a relatively short film, with only 44 minutes of total running time, it still successfully captured all the important elements of the story and the sentiments of Hotaru Takegawa, the female lead in this movie. Up until now, my heart is still aching because of the beautiful yet somewhat tragic love story that I witnessed. My thoughts on this film? Well, I must admit I’m really weak when it comes to love themed films, especially animated ones. It has become a really popular film and has maintained a strong following for months in Japan after its opening on September 17, 2011. Its soundtrack included music by Makoto Yoshimori. It starred Japanese voice actors Ayane Sakura and Kōki Uchiyama. The anime version which was directed by Takahiro Omori was later on produced in the year 2011 at the anime studio Brain’s. This time it included four romantic one-shot stories also written by Yuki Midorikawa. The film is a one shot shojo manga written by Yuki Midorikawa which was published in the July 2002 issue of LaLa DX in Japan and eventually reprinted in a tankōbon short story collection of the same name in July 2003. It’s been quite a while since I last watched a Japanese animated film and I think this is a good way to get in the zone again. Horatubi no Mori E also known as Into the Forest of Fireflies’ Light just made me cry a river.
Not because of someone, but because of something. “Time might separate us someday, but until then, let’s stay together.”
