Review of A Whisker Away

From first seeing the trailer I had very high expectations for this film and they were definitely met. This is my first review so I’m sorry in advance if it’s not too well wrote, it also may contain spoilers. In the first twenty minutes of the film I felt almost disappointed with how it was going and how annoying the main characters was but as the story continued on her character development was just wonderful. She went from being an annoying stalker student to becoming a more relatable character. I think the story is probably 9 almost an 8. If you’ve started to watch it anddo feel bored please continue watching it because it’s extremely unique!

For sound I’d give it 9. The sound for the anime was also pretty great, the music was wonderful and went it came to some of the voice acting I wasn’t too sure. I found some of the actors to have extremely bland voices for their characters.

As for the characters for me it’s and easy 10. As I said before Miyo Sasaki is a really annoying character to beginning with. She’s a love struck girl who obsesses a lot over her crush who at first doesn’t really like her. As the story continues to go on her character becomes more calmer and more of a relatable character if she wasn’t before. At some parts I could even put myself into her shoes which I always find is a great feature of the anime.
At first Kento Hinode just seems like the average the anime boy crush but he’s so much more. Like Miyo, Kento has a lot of hardships at home which he never shows through his emotions when he’s around others, in a sense he’s a very strong character and if he did speak of how he felt he spoke his words to taro who he sincerely trusted. As the film goes on the two characters go on an emotional ride of emotions and Kento realises his feelings for Taro/Miyo.

My enjoyment for this film would be 9. As I’ve said before I didn’t enjoy the first part of the film but as I watched it more I enjoyed it so much more. If I was to sit and watch the film again I’d probably give it a 10.

Overall I give this film 10! For me at least I enjoy this film an awful lot, I even found parts of it much more enjoyable more than some of the other popular films like your name and weathering with you.
After waiting all this time because of the pandemic this film was definitely worth it and I would for sure recommend it to anyone, young or old!
