Good for getting into the student-centered slice-of-life animation type kings together in the school club. This type is a bit unusual in that it occurs in colleges rather than high schools, probably because colleges host aviation clubs much more than high schools, where students fly expensive gliders. That’s anything that could be described as “unusual” about the film, which cycles through familiar tropes, with varying degrees of success. 195660 The best part of this movie is its main character, Tamaki “Tsurutama” Tsuru. The clumsy and excitable freshman is about to start her “normal” college life, only to take an immediate turn when she trips and damages one of the Aero Club’s glider. Before you can even say “”, Tsuruyu is recruited into the club, hoping to help them win a big prize to repay the loss. She may be clumsy on the ground, but despite her inexperience, she’s incredibly talented in the air. There’s a reason why the story of a young man with no direction finding her calling is a tried and true story, and the emotional success of the story’s presentation here owes much to the strength of the characters’ reactions, whether All kinds of funny faces she makes or great lines from first time voice actors Mayu Hotta. 195660 Beyond the main character, the rest of the characters are unfortunately forgettable. Tsurutama has two potential romantic partners: President Kuramochi Jun and Sorachi Daisuke. To be generous, I could describe Jun as the “Yuki” (cool, serious) of the story and Daisuke as “Kyo” (hotheaded, jealous) but there aren’t enough solid characterizations for either Have the audience root for Tsurutama to end with one of these. Not that there are many ways to resolve this conflict—the love triangle ends up being one small side story in a movie that feels like it has too many. 195660 The story loops through various antagonists: Tsurutama’s vindictive half-sister Yano, rowdy rival Kaede Hatori, and Jun’s manipulative benefactor You Asahina. The various conflicts introduced offer a brief upgrade from a very understated anime, though these issues are either resolved quickly or aren’t particularly satisfying. It makes for a very plot-heavy film, as if it were a TV series compilation, with a fuller arc. According to the director, that’s pretty much it Tachibana Masaki 206. Have not read Kana Ozawa 195660, I can’t tell you what exactly was cut or condensed, but in principle, this material is more suitable for – Episodic TV show as originally planned. The material’s quiet party vibe, punctuated by short dramatic arcs, could have given more space to flesh out the supporting characters and make them all as appealing as the main characters. 195660 Moving to TV certainly doesn’t affect the visuals too much. Like a lot of movies, the animation is good but not exceptional, nothing that couldn’t be done for a solid TV production. The gliding scene is beautiful, but it’s different from 300 Studio Ghibli 300 The film does a great job of portraying the wonders of flight (although admittedly, less is actually animated with a glider than with an airplane or more elaborate craft many). Kaida Shogo 300’s score does a lot of the heavy lifting in carrying the emotion of these sequences. 195660 It’s understandable why ElevenArts sent the video directly in the US, skipping the limited theatrical releases they do for most anime films. There isn’t much wrong with this movie, and a likable protagonist goes a long way in keeping it light-hearted, but the fun is so mild that the experience of watching it is almost instantly forgotten.
