Leave your thoughts about Hotarubi no Mori e.
| User ReviewMichelle AA very touching tale of a young girl and a friendship that blossoms into love. However, supernatural forces keep them physically apart. Simply one of the best anime films of all time. |
| User ReviewAdriano BJapanese like the ephemeral, because breauty and happyness shine brightly the exact moment they burn the fastest. This short movie about the delicate touchless love story between a human and a yokai is exactly that.Warmly sad, graceful... and ephemeral. |
