Ame to Shoujo to Watashi no Tegami

A fascinating thing for a human to endure and experience is rejection. it gives you a sense of reality and acceptance of feelings, especially if truthful, it becomes a lesson to life. A wonderful thing or may be sad, but nevertheless, its an opportunity to move on and discover within even more.

The short film is nice. minimal, and slightly emotional. I find the characters sweet, the music fitting, and conveyance of message just right. the setting is not really atmospheric, but produce a different vibe enough to interest. And the focus throughout is direct, no dull scenes.
finally, the browsing child is just too cute! it's ... more of a symbol, like how she reminded the main character to love things we cherish instead of dwelling in sorrow.

Unlike most short anime that I've seen, Ame to Shoujo to Watashi no Tegami (The Rain, the Girl, and my Letter) is more narrative-heavy, with its art being second in priority. It puts an interesting twist on the "love confession in a shoe-locker letter" setup, but its subpar art was distracting, and it was too short to convey anything meaningful. There isn't really any subtle symbolism or greater message, but anyone who's ever felt heartbroken over a rejection will probably relate well to our protagonist, and find appeal in her reaction.

Despite some mediocre drawing, the style in which the environments were crafted were unique, if ... only because they seemed so out of place. The conversation in the classroom looked as if the room were afloat, almost like the inside of a flying zeppelin. Most of the story passes in a book store, and if not for the fact that it was, well, lined with books, the store itself had the architectural stylings of a feudal Chinese palace. Even the clock, whose ticking the anime devotes quite a bit of time to, is absolutely bizarre in appearance (looking more like an ancient compass than something that's actually readable). The instrumental track playing in the background contributes to the outlandish setting. Over the sound of clockwork and heavy rain, the music goes from a standard strings piece to a cacophonous mixture of steel pan drums and xylophone.

As previously mentioned, the anime's short length prohibits any sort of meaning, despite being riddled with dialogue. Towards the end of the short film, an interesting character appears, only to contribute little to the story itself. However, this little girl, dressed in a traditional chinese outfit and living out of a suitcase (which seems to have its own sink, bed, dining table, and shelves) could probably have an anime adaptation of her own.

Disclaimer: I am NOT a PROFESIONAL reviewer I’m only a anime fan trying to give feed back to other anime fans with that said one to the review.

First of all I just want to point out that yes there is a message behind this anime what it is well I don't know I didn't get it I tried to get it I watched it 3 times trying to understand it but the more I saw the less I know.

Now on to the actual review this anime was not well done at all the sound was all over the place all you could hear was noise ... and noise and noise endless noise it got really annoying and the story was all over the place it bounces from person to person I just couldn't stand it.

so final thoughts if you're really artsy you're going to love this but other then that I would not recommend it
