Onward and then Forward :)

The beginning of this story is a bit slow and childish, almost giving up the show. Fortunately, the plot accelerated after that, and the two brothers used the newly learned magic to embark on the road of "finding their father", which became interesting. The most worth watching is the last part. The two tried their best to think that they had reached the end, but they returned to the starting point--crawled out of the sewer at the gate of the school. I like this surprising turn. Later, when I turned around again, my younger brother gave up the last chance to see my father to my elder brother. Every twist is unexpected but reasonable, and fits perfectly with the theme of tenderness.

The plot of the story is very simple and direct. There is no grand background and hatred between the family and the country. It is the experience of the two brothers looking for gems to revive their father's one-day experience, thus restoring the precious brotherhood. The younger brother is afraid of everything, and the older brother is a troubled teenager, and he is not afraid of anything. Of course, two teenagers with extreme personalities could not be like-minded. It was not until they went through hardships together that the younger brother realized that what he expected to do with his father, the older brother was silently accompanying him to complete it. Hahaha. Why not cherish the people in front of you.

I especially like the simple feelings and wonderful reversals in the story. It is a very complete little story without preaching. Much better than the anticlimactic Soul I watched a few days ago. The head of the villain in the last story is also very funny. The director is serious about making everyone happy. Thank you.
