But this work struck me as mediocre in all aspects.
I don't need giant robot battles in order to enjoy a film- and enjoy many aspects of the drama genre where story is as important as the animation itself. I am a fan of anime and very much enjoy artistic anime. There are no highs or lows, no real climax to the film, and the ending is weak. The plot line is simple and mono-directional, without much in the way of suspense, surprise or emotional impact. I guess beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. It's really simply not that impressive animation-wise. I'm honestly surprised by the number of reviews stating this is "beautiful". In only one scene (a mountain background with mist) was I impressed otherwise it's very typical. Many will find this film unmoving and uneventful. While a popular anime, I find that the title (The Place Promised in Our Early Days) is more interesting than the slow, plodding script. Reviewed by Snootz 5 / 10 The Title is the Best Part Years later on the brink of another war Hiroki Fujisawa finds out that Sayuri had been in coma since then, and he asks Takuya Shirakawa to help him finding a way to wake her up.-Anonymous In the summer of 1996, three middle-school students make a promise that they'll cross the border with a self-constructed plane and unravel the tower's secret, but their project was abandoned after the girl, Sayuri Sawatari, became mysteriously ill and transferred to Tokyo. A tall tower was built on Hokkaido, which could even be seen from Tokyo. Hokkaido is ruled by the "Union" while Honshu and other southern islands are under US authority. The story takes place in a alternate postwar period, in 1996, where Japan is divided.
