Review of A Whisker Away

A Whisker Away was enjoyable but in no way revolutionary in the story it tells. I give Netflix props to acquiring the film to put on their streaming service, and I appreciate more and more streaming services picking up more anime for people to watch (even though Netflix's licensing for seasons is extremely confusing in the west). The characters range from well written to average. The story is strong in the first half, however it slowly starts to fall apart in the second. The art however, is beautiful and stays strong throughout the entire movie. While A Whisker Away is nothing special I still recommend givingit a watch. Not only because it's a relatively enjoyable hour and half long film but it also allows us to show Netflix and other streaming services that there is an audience for anime on their platform.
