Brave Story

I, once again, wondered of what anime to watch. I decided to pick out a movie, something I can finish in one sitting. So I came across this anime called: Brave Story


The title isn't something that pleases the ear.
However, the saying "Do not judge the book by its cover" applies.

It is a story of a ten year old boy, wanting to reunite his parents and regain the happiness he shares with them. Along the way, he meets another boy, who's past at first remained unknown. They both travelled in a dimension, a place where their wish could come true. Moving on different paths, they challenged themselves to collect the necessary gems that would help them to see the Goddess of Fortune for their wish to come true.

There are some striking words that are spoken. Plus, the ending left me with an "aw" in mind. It is not one of those long endings where characters become very sentimental. It was a great ending.

It reminded me of Studio Ghibli films in a way.

If you want some time killers, this would be a good movie to watch! It was based on a game: Brave Story: New Traveler so perhaps you would want to play the game, after seeing this epic film.
