https://anilist.co/anime/142769/TheTunneltoSummertheExitofGoodbyes/ Live in the moment Make the most of your present We all hear these quotes something about our precious time something about the limit of life. But it just feels impossible that no matter how much I laugh cry or feel theres always a regret that pains me theres always something in the future that frightens me. If theres one thing Kaoru Touno regrets the most is his last words to his little sister I hate you too. He suffers over the fact that his little sister died while trying to catch a beetle for her brother. If theres one thing Anzu Hanashiro fears the most is being not talented. Not talented enough to become a manga artist not able to fulfill her deceased grandpas dream. But they find a tunnel thats rumoured to grant any wish in exchange for their now their present. So they decide to work together and enter the tunnel but the tunnel is its own world with its own rules of time and space. They waste their present together chasing in the tunnel to make their wishes come true. Touno to get over his past and Hanashiro to get a future. Both of them sympathize with each others struggles in the time they wasted together forming a bond together. This is a story about these two characters one whos coming to terms with his past and one whos finding a future to fulfill her grandpas dream. The tunnel is a labyrinth where time runs slower than the outside world. Our characters go inside the tunnel for their past and/or future but one thing they ignore is that spending too much past or future makes you forgot about the present. While we are hung up on our dreams and mistakes the world around us moves away. And it can never be bought back. The cute romance takes the spotlight but the movie is too short to give a fleshed out development for its characters. As for the visuals studio CLAP really did well. Every scene including the tunnel is mesmerizing. The music and songs are alright. I only wish the movie was a bit longer and gave more screen time elaborating their struggles. I think this is a good movie. Though I wish it did a bit better at a few elements it is about a boy coming to terms with his regrets of past and a girl finding the courage to overcome her fear of future. And the present they found together. 400https://i.ur.com/88IYKTP.jpg Conclusion I think its hard to live in the present when so much of our past future define and is defined by this moment. When the way we lived and the path we chose define us but its more important to realize that this moment will never come back. We can never live in the past and we never know if we live in the future. We live here and now. 400https://i.ur.com/134a25M.jpg Edit: Forgot to mention as AzuraErys said in her review the movie is not properly subbed in English. For more details visit her review.
