Children Who Chase Lost Voices" is another gem by Makoto Shinkai, well-written and beautifully animated. The visuals give a nostalgic feeling of 90s anime, especially the rail tracks and the town in the mountains, evoking a sense of familiarity and nostalgia that we might have visited such places before, even if we can't recall it clearly. The mythical world in the movie is exquisitely designed, with captivating creatures and flying ships that add to the artistic beauty. The character designs are well-crafted, and the voice artists express the characters' emotions with great skill, bringing them to life. The story revolves around Asuna Watase, a responsible student who takes care of the house in her mother's absence. Her only escape is listening to her crystal radio in her secret mountain hideout. One day, she stumbles upon a mysterious and melancholic melody, which leads her on an incredible journey with an enigmatic boy named Shun. Together, they explore a long-lost land that exceeds her wildest imagination, transforming Asuna's life into an intricate requiem. The anime beautifully portrays the theme of bravery in the face of loss, cherishing the time spent with loved ones, and appreciating the people who have shaped our lives. It reminds us to embrace the present and honor the memories of those who have left us, as they have left valuable lessons behind. "Children Who Chase Lost Voices" is a heartfelt movie that teaches important life lessons while delivering a captivating and imaginative experience.
