Naota is a normal boy who kills some time with a normal girl by a stream that flows underneath a bridge. Nothing unusual happens in this town. The fact that Haruhara Haruko crashes into the main character with her Vespa a short while later and subsequently hits him over the head with her Rickenbacker 4003 bass guitar doesn’t really make any difference to any other day here. The at first glance unconnected, bizarre events that don’t seem to follow any pattern whatsoever don’t change anything about Naota’s boring life, either – because nothing incredible ever happens in this town.

It is a perfect work of art. I reckon that those for whom the presented themes are not relevant may not be into…

This is one of my favorite anime works of all time. I love everything about it - from the wounderful heart-melting indie rock soundtrack courtesy of The Pillows, to the overarching themes of becoming an adult and experiencing the world around you, to the amazing animation that oozes talent and creativity. It is a perfect work of art. I reckon that those for whom the presented themes are not relevant may not be into it as much, but you should take it for a spin regardless. It's a short and bittersweet experience for the ages. Watch it.
