Ai no Yakusoku

In one sentence: Simple, yet sweet! It is beautiful, touching, poignant... and surprising how all of that fit into just 16 min. Could not hold the tears back. Everything mulled so nicely, from the voicing and the swooping melodies, to the dreamlike paint palette that feels like something we have all seen, if not "felt". Really nice! Loved it. Not saying that it is the best anything ever, though it kind of is for what it is. Feels like this was a small scale production and it proves that one can make something amazing with limited possibilities/resources, just like when oscillating the other way there havebeen so many anime through the decades that had had loads thrown at a project and it still unfortunately went down like the Titanic. So happy to have randomly discovered this today. Sometimes something truly needed comes along and brightens all... Final thought: A good example of what happens when the sum of the parts actually come together :)
