A friend of mine sent me a copy of Byousoku Go Senchimetoru a few weeks ago. I couldn’t sleep last night, so I watched it. I’m a fan of the director’s previous work, Hoshi no Koe, so I thought I knew what to expect.

But just because I was expecting it doesn’t mean I was in any way prepared. I was floored.

The story is beautiful and sad and the visuals are simply astounding. I give the movie a ten and I’m going to shut up now and just share some screen caps.
