      Wolf Children--A Child Is All The Mother Has

      I think that after the experience, the tears are already high. As a result, when I heard the ending song, my tear ducts collapsed... This is a song I wrote for my mother. Regardless of werewolves, I think every mother must have the same emotion the moment she steps out of the house when she sees her child grow up. The children's books are also displayed in the room; their schoolbags are hung on the backs...

      warm beautiful

      This is a very heartwarming anime, interspersed with several emotions, both fearless love, great maternal love, and the complex feelings of the two children growing up to the outside world.

      The whole animation has no ups and downs, and focuses on depicting the bits and pieces of daily life. We can also experience the hardships and difficulties of Hua, as a mother, working day and night for her children. It is this that gives people an ordinary...

      April 2021 second film review

      There are a lot of things I think about this movie. Mother first, woman second, and ego last.

      Flower raised Rain and Snow on her own, moved several times for them, and finally found a suitable place in the country. She was penniless and supported her two children by growing vegetables. When they were fighting and playing, she wore a mask to clean the big house. I saw the flower and felt as if it was portraying a very, very gentle and standard...

      Wolf Children Rain and Snow: Discovering that nothing has done for you, you've grown up

      All love in the world is for the purpose of gathering, only the love of parents is for the purpose of separation.

      I would like to recommend an anime movie "Wolf Children Rain and Snow" by Mamoru Hosoda. This movie achieved a very high box office at that time and was a sensation.

      The story starts from the perspective of Snow and tells the story of Hua and the wolf father, Hua and the two wolf children in a narrative way, showing us various...

      At a time when the movie world is full of so-called stunt masterpieces and star blockbusters, but the content is unknown, this simple narrative animation film does not play tricks, but it can be called a great work. Although the character is the son of a wolf, the story is not about people and animals, but reflects the growth characteristics of children in all ordinary families; the mother's love shown is not so shallow as a teardrop, but a conscientious consideration of the nature of breeding...

In the process of pursuing the technique, such a work was naturally formed.” In this conversation, Tomino Yoshiyuki also said again that “this animation film has gone beyond...
