Introduction
Yuuta was 12-year-old boy, who had lost his father in the traffic accident one year ago. In the summer vacation, he visited a deserted dam deep in the mountains, where he had a good time with his father before.
Suddenly a thunder storm occurred and he slipped on the ground. He lost consciousness and woke up to find a girl and an unfamiliar village. He time-traveled 30 years and reached a village, which sank at the bottom of the dam.
This is Yuuta's precious memory of "another" summer vacation.

Modern Japanese films have a habit of dallying in mismatched melds of fantasy and slice of life, and finding the right balance and purposiveness to make this work is tricky. To begin with, the main character, Yuuta wanders through the woods and does a good deed for an old man who seems to be a spirit of some sort. On Yuuta's way home, he finds the road is blocked by a fierce stream, and just like any of those punishing old video games—Another World, for example—he does something stupid by choosing to wade through the waters and dies. Since he gave the spirit a water bottle, the spirit decides to save him (even this sounds ridiculous, doesn't it?), but in order to do so, Yuuta must be placed in an alternate world "out of time" for about a month.
See, already upon hearing this, I'd be kind…

I loved the story of this movie, with the exception of most of the end, that could have been much better. The end seemed kind of like it was just slapped on, and they forgot what just happened in the rest of this film. It was something I expected, but it didn't happen in the way I expected it to happen. However, it really is a sweet story.
The art. Yeah, I didn't like it. The art was like most Toei movies I've seen, but with a lot more computer animation. Normally, I don't mind movies animated like this, but I think the computer animation made it strange.
The characters are great. Despite the possibly confusing story, the characters are very likable.
I enjoyed the movie. The story and the characters made it enjoyable to watch.
Overall, I give it a 7. For the first forty-five minutes t…

um...this surprisingly didn't make any sense to me.
I usually love this kind of movies, but this is probably the biggest disappointment I have experienced in a ghibli type of story.
The first half of the movie is really sweet. Some people might not like the art so much, but for me it was okay. I can stand any style of art as long as the story and characters are good. The music too is pretty nice at the beginning.
But during somewhere in the middle, things just went downhill pretty rapidly. I don't even know how to describe that last half of the movie. The easiest way to start would be from the ending. That grandiose wrap-up was uncalled for. The music too only made things worse. It's like, you start with debussy and end with wagner. Even musically, it didn't make sense. Now going back a l…
