"To Me, The One Who Loved You" explained

"To Me, The One Who Loved You" and "To Every You That I've Loved Before" are two movies released in October 7th, 2022.  This blog has the movie "To Me, The One Who Loved You" explained.  Now, this movie may be a bit confusing, but I think that I understood it pretty well.  I have only watched this movie, not the other one.

The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes

The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes is a movie adapted from the light novel of the same name by Mei Hachimoku and was released in November 2022. Studio CLAP was the studio behind this movie. This movie deals with space-time and falls under the genre of drama, mystery and sci-fi. My thoughts: This movie was really a good one. Not an extremely special one(to me) or not with a mind boggling concept or something like that. Just a simple to understand one. That aspect makes it more easier to feel the movie, to understand the characters and appreciate the fantastic animation. There are some movies which, after finishing, leaves an empty feeling inside. This was definitely one of them.  So... Yeah, I'd rate this movie a solid 8/10. And I'll say it again. Amazing animation.  Click here to buy Eren figurine A synopsis: The movie starts with a high schooler, named Touno Kaoru, returning from his school, when he finds a girl about his age, Hanashiro Anzu, sitting in a train s...
