The Garden of Words

Even though the age gap is wild, this movie isn’t a romance in the typical sense. It is very hard to look past the age difference, but I think the point of the movie is in spite of it. I’ll say this now and always but Makoto Shinkai will always be my favorite animation director

UNCOMFY. When I watched it a few years ago, I was looking forward to it, but a wet towel was quickly thrown on all the interest when it became clear what the premise was. Teacher/student romances put me off REAL bad, especially with an age gap like this one.

7/10 I honestly don’t know why I’m not rating this lower as the story is just not sad or interesting at all especially because it’s between like a kid and a teacher and they make it so deep and philosophical when it’s just not that. Animation is beautiful though. Way overhyped.

6/10
