What is it about?

This is how The IMDb describes this anime (animate) movie:

High schooler Yuu and his friend Haru get involved in a case involving his childhood friend Kotona, which forces them to go back and forth between another world that is different but is somewhat similar to their world, Ni no Kuni.

The real world and Ni no Kuni, when Kotona’s life is in danger, what’s the ultimate choice the three of them have to make in Ni no Kuni?

My Thoughts

I only found out about this anime (animated) movie thanks to seeing a thumbnail for it on an online video streaming website, it caught my attention because the animation looked like that of Studio Ghibli, and so I decided to watch it with my brother GC after I saw a trailer for it.

This movie started with potential, like the anime movie Tales From Earthsea, it jumped right into things while still giving us just enough information about some of the characters and what was going on.

Unfortunately this movie started to get a bit dumb and convoluted, which caused my brother GC and I to keep pointing this out, and it really hurt this movie for us which is a shame.

Fortunately even though that hurt this movie, it still was not bad, but it could have been better.

The end,
