        Stunning but with one problem

        OK, the only problem is the duration should be at least 2 hours.

        This movie is beautiful, the animation is stunning and the main theme is great and 80% of the audience will probably relate.

        This movie is really underrated I really recommend to anyone it's just 40 minutes.

        It's all about the execution

        Summer Ghost doesn't really discover anything new about the story it's telling, we've seen it endless times in all media and the whole thing can be read like a book form the first scenes. Nonetheless, this densely packed 40 minutes long movie still managed to grasp my heart more than once. Definitely recommended.

        You should give a chance

        I started this movie just because the duration, didn't look special, but man I this really touch my heart the movie is beautiful, the animation Is great and the message is relatable and very well telling, the only problem is being too short I wish there's at least 1h30m.

        Overall:Beautiful9/10.

        Amazing story but duration was too short

        Tha movie had great potential. The story line was lovely and it was a real tear jerker. However, there was too much content to be simply covered in 40 minutes. An anime adaptation or a 2 hour long movie would have been fitting. The art is marvellous and pleasing to the eye. The voice acting is decent. But the movie didn't do the story justice. It felt- rushed. We didn't get to familiarise ourself with the characters and we didn't get to see their story properly. We didn't get to see the characters develop their friendship and there werent many scenes to show that they were friends. The backstory of each and every character was rushed. There are certain story telling styles in which the story is told in an ambiguous manner to make the viewer decipher the story themself. The story telling was similiar, but it felt rushed even then. They were put together poorly. This could have been better if the characters had more to them. The simplicity simply made the movie mid. It could have been amazing, but it wasn't up to the mark. The movie left me feeling somewhat unsatisfied. All in all, it was a good movie with a deep and amazing story but poor story telling. Give it a watch.
