Review:

I personally liked the environment that they created in this movie, the animation was great. The story line has many emotional factors. The theme concentrates on anxiety and suicidal thoughts. How people are drawn towards this thought . This movie also highlights key factors of redemption and forgiveness. It's a must watch movie if you are feeling low . According the end shows that at last everything becomes just fine so don't push yourself to hard it's ok if there are hard times, the good times will also come soon.
