"Into the Forest of Fireflies' Light") is a Shōjo manga. It’s really beautiful and the song suits the film perfectly.Hotarubi no Mori e ( Japanese: 蛍火の杜へ, lit. If only.Īnd oh, I’d like to share this short fanmade video. Or if not, perhaps, a continuation of Hotaru’s moving-on-stage story – that day when she has finally moved on and met another man to love and whatnot. Never.ĭang! This film needs a sequel! Seriously! I would love to see Gin resurrected and reunited with Hotaru. But as we all know, it will never happen.
Regardless of the season, she wants to be with Gin. The former was even planning to find a job near that place after she graduates so she can spend more time with Gin. It was just unfortunate that the story had to end that way. I highly admire Hotaru for her loyalty and even Gin. In everything, I think even in pain, there’s beauty. It was indeed a beautiful story although heartbreaking. She immediately accepted the fact that it may take a long time before she can look forward to summer again. She knew that this ‘relationship’ may come to an end sooner or later.
Just in time, Gin also left his mask to Hotaru. But at least they were still able to confess to each other. It took a long time for this confession as well. Sweetest words yet the saddest parting lines. It took him over 10 years to fulfill that wish. It turned out that he has been waiting all this time to finally touch a human, to touch her. This was Gin’s last words before disappearing. “Come here, Hotaru, I can finally touch you.” If he does, then his body will disappear and that will be the end of him.įor years, Gin and Hotaru resisted the temptation of touching each other. As someone who has been raised by the forest gods and spirits, Gin was not allowed to touch humans. From then on, Hotaru kept coming back to this forest every summer just to meet him.Īll good stories, especially love stories must come to an end. That was in summer – her first encounter with Gin, a forest ‘ghost’. Then a flashback – she was only six then when she got lost in a forest so all she can do was cry, until this masked man appeared out of nowhere, asking her if she was indeed lost and then eventually leading her out of the forest. Set at the Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine in the Kumamoto Prefecture of Japan, the film opens with Hotaru (who looks like Hana of the Wolf Children for me) preparing to set off on a journey in the middle of summer. Even though it was a relatively short film, with only 44 minutes of total running time, it still successfully captured all the important elements of the story and the sentiments of Hotaru Takegawa, the female lead in this movie. Up until now, my heart is still aching because of the beautiful yet somewhat tragic love story that I witnessed. My thoughts on this film? Well, I must admit I’m really weak when it comes to love themed films, especially animated ones. It has become a really popular film and has maintained a strong following for months in Japan after its opening on September 17, 2011. Its soundtrack included music by Makoto Yoshimori.
It starred Japanese voice actors Ayane Sakura and Kōki Uchiyama. The anime version which was directed by Takahiro Omori was later on produced in the year 2011 at the anime studio Brain’s. This time it included four romantic one-shot stories also written by Yuki Midorikawa. The film is a one shot shojo manga written by Yuki Midorikawa which was published in the July 2002 issue of LaLa DX in Japan and eventually reprinted in a tankōbon short story collection of the same name in July 2003. It’s been quite a while since I last watched a Japanese animated film and I think this is a good way to get in the zone again. Horatubi no Mori E also known as Into the Forest of Fireflies’ Light just made me cry a river. Not because of someone, but because of something.
