This film is about a Japanese girl whose father went to sea and never came back. She takes care of her family while her dad is gone. A group of students at her school try to save their clubhouse from being demolished. She meets a boy who was fighting to save the clubhouse and finds a shocking discovery with him. When I first started watching it I thought they would go on a adventure to find her dad but they didn't. I was a bit disappointed. What really catched my eye was the art style. It wasn't really detailed and kind of basic but it still looked amazing. I also loved the choice of songs. It was superb. In my opinion it isn't the best film I've seen but it's still a good film with a good storyline. I would totally recommend to anyone who likes anime or not maybe you'll like it anyway.
