A fascinating thing for a human to endure and experience is rejection. it gives you a sense of reality and acceptance of feelings, especially if truthful, it becomes a lesson to life. A wonderful thing or may be sad, but nevertheless, its an opportunity to move on and discover within even more.
The short film is nice. minimal, and slightly emotional. I find the characters sweet, the music fitting, and conveyance of message just right. the setting is not really atmospheric, but produce a different vibe enough to interest. And the focus throughout is direct, no dull scenes.
finally, the browsing child is just too cute! it's more of a symbol, like how she reminded the main character to love things we cherish instead of dwelling in sorrow.

Disclaimer: I am NOT a PROFESIONAL reviewer I’m only a anime fan trying to give feed back to other anime fans with that said one to the review.
First of all I just want to point out that yes there is a message behind this anime what it is well I don't know I didn't get it I tried to get it I watched it 3 times trying to understand it but the more I saw the less I know.
Now on to the actual review this anime was not well done at all the sound was all over the place all you could hear was noise and noise and noise endless noise it got really annoying and the story was all over the place it bounces from person to person I just couldn't stand it.
so final thoughts if you're really artsy you're going to love this but other then that I would not recommend it

Unlike most short anime that I've seen, Ame to Shoujo to Watashi no Tegami (The Rain, the Girl, and my Letter) is more narrative-heavy, with its art being second in priority. It puts an interesting twist on the "love confession in a shoe-locker letter" setup, but its subpar art was distracting, and it was too short to convey anything meaningful. There isn't really any subtle symbolism or greater message, but anyone who's ever felt heartbroken over a rejection will probably relate well to our protagonist, and find appeal in her reaction.
Despite some mediocre drawing, the style in which the environments were crafted were unique, if only because they seemed so out of place. The conversation in the classroom looked as if the room were afloat, almost like the inside of a flying zeppelin. Most…

Teikoku Shounen aka Imperial Boy has a very unique and colourful art style that packs a real punch. He's something of a national treasure in my eyes, because his work is just so darn beautiful! The details can be rich and overwhelming in one moment, and then have an "unfinished" quality in the next, because the draft lines of the animation are still showing. Yet somehow [because it is Imperial Boy] all that managed to do for me was add to its charm.
There is an interesting quality to this anime that felt a bit like being inside of a ticking clock tower. I think it was the music, which reminded me at times of the Spirited Away soundtrack - it was fluid and whimsical - appropriate, but somehow gave a quality of time passing by.
And like the passing of time, the background animations were c…

Rain the Little Girl and My Letter is a work of an amateur, who just published his work in the net.
He calls himself (帝国少年) Empire Boy.
it's a moving story of a first love of a girl. It's hard to imagine that this story is told by a man... i can't help noticing the similarity to Senkai's "She and her cat". This very rainy scenery returns you to your barefooted childhood. Everything is so naive, that it won't leave you indifferent to the girl's feelings of being offcast.
