Synopsis Intrigued by the tale of a mountain god, six-year-old Hotaru Takegawa loses her way in the ancient forest while visiting her uncle. Exhausted and desperate for help, Hotaru is thrilled to find a masked forest spirit named Gin. She learns the hard way that she should not touch the boy, or he would disappear. In spite of this, Gin leads Hotaru out of the forest and warns her never to return when she promises to come again with a gift.Paying no heed to his cautionary words, and despite being separated by both distance and planes of existence, Hotaru and Gin become close friends as she visits him every summer. However, their relationship and resolve are put to the test, when romantic feelings conflict with the one and only rule.Based on Yuki Midorikawa's manga of the same name, Hotarubi no Mori e is a tale of friendship and compromise of two people who should never have crossed paths, as their lives become hopelessly intertwined.Written by MAL Rewrite.

-Hotaru TakegawaTime 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 characters in Hotarubi no Mori e are bound by the chains of time. Hecannot leave the forest for fear of being touched by a human and she cannot see him until three seasons have passed and summer comes again.
And so, the two spend time together when they can, and as she grows up with him she realizes there will come a day when time will yet again become their enemy.Their time together is short, meaningful and ultimately bittersweet. Much like the anime itself.Hotarubi no Mori e is a beautiful movie that takes the idea of forbidden love, a topic that has been overly done and worn out by bad soap-opera themed dramas, and remakes the idea in an elegant, refreshing manner. Much of the brilliance in this anime can be accredited to the captivating character and background designs as well as the honesty that shines through in the writing.
The anime pulls us viewers in with dramatic music and writing while keeping everything light and down-to-earth. And it does all of this in a mere 45 minutes.Forbidden love, playful love, intense love, a love that is not love.
With all of these takes on love, can we really be sure of what love is? Simply put, love is a universal. Well, for lack of a better word, thing.Nobody really knows what love is but everyone has their own interpretation of the word. Plato once said, 'at the touch of love, everyone is a poet'. And it's true.
The concept of love is incredibly popular and you can probably find more pieces of literature or entertainment that center around love than any other genre. This anime specifically has taken the idea of a physical love and completely thrown it out of the window, all the while proving with gusto that love doesn't have to be physical to be just as emotionally impacting.You see, the anime focuses on the more important ideas about love that maybe we've all kind of forgotten.Like the happiness you feel when you're near them.Like the first time you saw them laugh.Like when it's suffocating to be with them because you don't know what to do or say.Hotarubi no mori e gracefully weaves these elements into a heartbreaking tale of a first love. Sure, it's lighthearted and even a little fun, but a love founded on emotions is the heaviest burden you can imagine.As stated before, the art this anime is nothing short of breath-taking.
The designers definitely knew what they were doing when it came to setting the mood with soft pastel colors or adding bursts of colors to enhance a scene. Although it wasn't exactly memorable, the art did help to add an extra element of beauty. Similarly, the soundtrack to this anime was also very fitting and nice. Especially the ending song, 'Natsu wo Miteita' (I saw summer) which had the feel of summer that is longed for but will never return.
The art and sound really worked together well with what was happening on screen. Everything fit together perfectly like puzzle pieces.To end this review, I will rebound back to the very beginning and touch upon the subject of love again with our two main characters Hotaru and Gin. What makes this anime so special, what makes it stand out from all of the others that claim to give you the true meaning of love is that it's believable and honest, despite having the supernatural theme of spirits. Overall10Story10Animation10Sound10Character10Enjoyment10I am not great at writing reviews, but I am trying to get better so please bare with me on this one. Hope you like my review though ^^ ok so lets get on with it.I started to watch this because it was written by Yuki Midorikawa.
I loved her previous work 'Natsume Yuuchinjou' and I was hoping this would be another good anime to pass my time on. I was not wrong.I am sure that on this movie there are many reviewers who has retold the summary of this story in their own review which I am going to skip over because Iam pretty sure you get the gist of it.The whole plot was well put together. Even though the movie was only 40 mins. Long, it did not seem rushed at all. Every scene flowed well into place.BEWARE: READ ANY FURTHER AND THERE MIGHT BE SPOILERS!!The characters were well played and none of them annoyed me, which is a plus point for me.
It was really heartbreaking to see both Gin and Hotaru growing up to be good friends and eventually falling in love. Seeing them both struggling to hold each other and feel each other's warmth did make my eyes water.Whenever I watch any anime, I am really careful about the ending because even though an anime could be great, the ending could really kill the whole story for me. But the ending on this movie was too good. Though it would be better if they could get together, but that did not happen.it was still beautiful though!I definitely recommend this!! Can't wait to see what Yuki Midorikawa comes up with next! Overall4Story5Animation8Sound10Character3Enjoyment3Hotarubi 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 characters have to be easy to get attached to, since the short time of the moviesgives no times for the viewer to get accustomed to them and feel empathy towards them, and no snobbish quote about love can change the fact that the characters in the movie have no personality, and are very forgettable. Hotaru the main character has 2 traits to her, she got lost in the forest, and is in love with the other chraracter, Gin. She is as bland as it gets, she boils down to this person saved me thus I have to love them. Maybe she fell in love with Gin because of the time she passed during all her summers with him, but most of the movie is just the writer bashing your head in trying to make SURE your remember that if Gin touches a human he dies.
Wow, thanks, after the 4th time you told me I forgot, so thanks for the new heads up random voices from the forest.This is where my biggest problem comes from, instead of developing a sweet relationship between an almost immortal spirit and an aging young girl, and have the character that was supposed to live on forever die, thus creating a sad and tragic ending, the movie was basically 45 minutes of being reminded that Gin was going to die. Even worst is that that ending came out of nowhere. Not in a good way like I was surprised, like in the sense that I have no idea why he just died when he did. There was no buildup, no emotion, it just happened after a weird festival thing that was frankly pointless.The more I think about it, this movie is quite pointless, nothing is developed, all you get is a 45 minute movie about a young girl who likes a spirit and how she gets told 10000 times that her lover is basically as good as dead. Thanks, but if you try to hard to make me sad, instead of writing characters I will feel sad about, I'm not going to cry at your super at of nowhere unemotional death scene.Just like I said, listen to the soundtrack, because it's probably the only thing I thoroughly enjoyed. From the same writer Nastume Yuujinchou which is miles better.
And watch Garden of Words if you want a 45 minutes emotional movie about growing up and impossible love.Or you could just go watch Train Wars, at least that has the bonus of being entertaining.
