Points that the most energy was put on
I reminded myself that the two of them are “on the opposite extreme”, as mentioned by Sakura in the movieSakura’s line in the movie mentions. If Sakura is “activemovement”, “Me” is “docile” still”. I asked the animators to give unnecessary movements to Sakura, and efficient movements to “Me” on the other hand. Also, the room for “me” and the library were filled with manly, square, and heavy symbols, and Sakura’s room was filled with small, feminine objects. I tried to express “opposite extremes” not only in their personality, but also with visuals as well.
Points that the audience must pay attention
First, please notice thatfind where the true name of “Me” is hidden in the movie. This might be hard to be spotted, but do also check outThe unclear point can be the ways that “Me” and Sakura talk. The way “Me” talks gradually change, when he isdoes not good at speaking to people in the beginning but slowly getting used to it step by step. Sakura begins to show her emotion in her words, as she begins to open her heart to him. You will love them a lot more when you realize those small clues, and the ending will move your heart stronger.
Memorable Episode in the Recording Session

Message to audience
I adapted the novel filled with love from Sumino-sensei. This movie is about the life of “Me”, Kyouko, Gum-kun, Takahiro, Dad, Mom, and others. This movie is about the boy’s life being enriched after interacting with a girl named Sakura. Please feel the gift from Sakura after finishing the movie.
