Review of A Whisker Away

Pretty decent school romance story with a bit of fantasy. Overviews our social life with family, friends and pets. The Mask Seller seemed a bit weird but the story of turning into a cat and a human was quite cool. I personally liked the idea and artwork of Neko Island. Muge seemed a little too hyper and excited at the beginning but I guess that is an obvious outcome of those who try to conceal their despair and fakes their emotions. I think it would be a bit better if the last fight between the Mask Seller and the others was improved as it seemedvery sloppy.

The movie indicates that "One should always be happy with what race they belong to and should try to express their emotions before the time is up".

As most reviews say, this movie is great for cat lovers and good for people who like little fantasy and social reality. The artwork was enjoyable and the love of Muge (as Tarou) for Hinode was sensual too.
