Wolf Children
Hello, anime lovers! I am back again. So today's anime is Wolf Children; it's an exceptional movie that I have re-watched plenty of times. Today, I will be reviewing this heart-touching anime for you guys. It doesn't necessarily have a happy ending, but it's bittersweet.
If you have watched the trailer, then you can already guess by the name that this movie is about wolf children—children raised by their parents. That would be a lovely story to watch. Whenever I see the trailer, I feel like crying because I have finished watching this anime movie. The trailer is adorable; look how cute they are! They have a lot more than cuteness in the story. As the story unfolds, you will find some lessons within it.
The story begins with a girl named Hana, who falls in love with a wolf man. They get married and have the best moments of their lives as they have a child together. It looks like a happy start, but unexpectedly, Hana's husband has an accident and passes away shortly after their second child, Ame, is born. Now, Hana is a single mother of two children: the older sister, Yuki, and the younger brother, Ame.
It becomes tough for Hana to keep her children's identity safe because other human beings wouldn't let them live peacefully if they found out the children could transform into wolves. Hana decides to move out of the city so that they are not noticed. She tries her best to keep her children out of danger and tells them not to transform when there are humans nearby.
Difficulties arise even though Hana tries her best because their father died, and she has no idea how to raise the children of a wolf. But she never gives up; she always tries to give her best. As the children are wolf children, they are sometimes wild and end up destroying their own home, which makes Hana frustrated, but she cannot do anything because they are her own children. The struggles of a single mother can be seen.
This movie truly speaks to reality, presenting a totally different virtue of single motherhood. This is such a unique concept; moreover, the anime also shows us various types of emotions that are not easily captured by every mainstream movie nowadays. Well, from the bottom of my heart, this film tops it all. I really enjoyed watching this anime, and halfway through, I cried a lot. This anime will teach you life lessons. The way the characters are shown and the depth in their roles are absolutely excellent. Their uncanny details take the anime to another level.
I feel that animes like this are very underrated. As an audience member, I would suggest that if you would like to have a perfect 2 hours of your next day, then you must watch it without any hesitation. This anime has shown how a mother sacrifices for the sake of their children. To be honest, I feel blessed to watch this brilliant piece of art.
