After watching this masterpiece, I decided to list down the reason why you guys should watch this anime film.

1. REMARKABLE STORY TELLING

The sequence of the scenes were so stunning. The transition of the story is perfect. The story is utterly natural. No magical items or tradition nor fate and destiny denying scenes or any complicated whatsoever.

2. TENDER TALE WITH A MATURE THEME

Cute little children wolves are just so adorable you just want to swallow them whole yet in a serious note, the film is has some dark parts that become very heart-wrenching and would lead you to the feels land.

3. RELATABLE AND TOUCHING LIFE LESSONS

Every story has a lot of lessons to impart to the audience. This anime film will not only leave you sniffing but it will also give you a lot of lessons such as coming of age, single motherhood, resiliency, embracing your roots and acceptance of who you really are.

4. OUTSTANDING ANIMATION AND VISUALS

Seen a lot of awesome animation/visuals in anime films and Wolf Children is one of them. The artwork is simple but everything is photorealistically drawn and polish by a loving artist hands.

5. SHORT-LIVED ROMANCE AND EMOTIONAL CONTENT

Though the love story of Hana and the werewolf man was short and right after his death is where the story really starts, their story is simple and touching. Plus, the emotional scenes in the film amidst the adorable clips is two-thumbs up.

Bunos- The soundtrack, BG’s, score and music are also great! The ending song makes me wanna cry more.
