*My Thoughts*
I had watched this movie out of curiosity. I was not really prepared for this plot, I thought that the movie was somewhat meeh. But, how Akizuki and Yukino had started their relationship was something great to see I loved the scene where they were hugging and crying. I really liked the animation on this movie it was really pretty and just amazing to look at .
