<Below are the full comments>
Kobayashi Chiaki, voice of Sugisaki Tomoya
My first impression of the movie "Summer Ghost" is an "anime that is not like an anime". The director loundraw mentioned that "I don't watch to depict something pretty, I want to depicted the people who are living now frankly", and this movie is exactly as what he said it would be.
"Summer Ghost" will bring out various expressions out from various people as well as give out different opinion and impression based on the person's age and occupation. As this movie might make you think of questions about the life you are living nowquestions for living as well as the thoughts of 'What the purpose of living is?'...I actually like it if people with thosethat thoughts to watch this movie"
I believe that this movie will guide those with this problem even if it didn't provide an answer to the problem, so please watch this movie at the theatre with a flat feeling.
