I'm going to be honest, I don't know what people expected from this 15 second film. I've read other reviews and they're complaining how there is no "story". It is an ad for a newspaper in Japan. I'm assuming the girl's father left for work and went on a long trip. Before leaving he gave her a newspaper. She then says "Dad.... thank you." I really enjoyed this, I guess I'm a simp for Makoto Shinkai because his animation is amazing and I've watched everything he's created. But just thinking of the background of the story excites ME. After thinking about it i feel likei might cry. The overwhelming thought of this old commercial makes me sad
