This movie is great! The use of colors to portray emotions and mood is epic! Especially yellow, green, orange, and blue. Blue, in particular, is really beautifully used in certain scenes. The message of the movie, the romance, and the adventure aspect were also good. Lastly, the piano and the ending song were also beautiful. 10/10 watch for me.

Synopsis
Kaoru Touno's family is falling apart. After the death of a sibling and his parents' divorce, he no longer feels any peace at home. Following a heated confrontation with his father, Kaoru runs out of his house and finds himself before a mysterious tunnel, which pulls him in. Bewildered by what he sees inside, he rushes to the exit, picking up a bird that looks identical to his deceased pet on his way out. Upon emerging outside, Kaoru realizes that, despite him spending just a few minutes inside the tunnel, an entire week has passed. The bizarre experience leads him to remember the rumors of "Urashima Tunnel"—a passage that grants wishes in exchange for one's lifespan. Given the resurrection of his pet bird, Kaoru cannot help but wonder if another visit can help fix his messed up life. However, when he returns to the entrance of the mysterious tunnel, Kaoru realizes that he has been followed by Anzu Hanashiro, a new transfer student in his class. She also knows about the rumors and asks him to help her with an experiment—it turns out that she, too, has a wish that only the tunnel can grant. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

I absolutely love the art style in this movie, the backgrounds and scenery honestly looked so beautiful and genuinely looked like paintings. I also thought the soundtrack sounded amazing, it made a lot of the scenes feel much more emotional. I really loved every interaction between Tono and Hanashiro, their scenes together felt so heartwarming. At the same time, a lot of the scenes involving Tono's situation was genuinely so heartbreaking to watch.
It was a masterpiece. The animation was so worth it. I may have shed a few tears here and there. But more than the animation, the story was profound in a way that you end up picking up little lessons in between. It's a great watch for people who want something chill in a sense that would make them cry both sad and happy tears. The irony makes it all worth it.
