Sometimes simpler is better. That's the thought I had while watching this movie/feature-length OVA for The Girl from the Other Side. I found that the manga for this movie could be cut down and shortened so it can get its themes down correctly. I wanted that to happen as soon as this adaptation got announced. What we got here was probably even better than I expected and I enjoyed it very much. It truly did the ending justice. My only complaint with this movie is that there is no sense of danger or despair here. There is one threat, but it is taken down quickly.If you are looking for a short simple movie and are a fan of the manga, I'd recommend this movie. The animation is also very good with the beautiful soundtrack
