SUMMER TIME

About This Movie

So, Summer Time (2017) is this quietly introspective animated piece that really digs into the emotions of a young girl facing a tough summer. The story doesn’t rush, it subtly unfolds around Aki-chan and her dog, Goyapochi. It’s got this gentle pacing that mirrors the slow, sometimes heavy feeling of summer days when life feels extra weighty. The animation itself, while simple, carries a certain charm that enhances the themes of solitude and companionship. It’s a bit melancholic but in a way that feels authentic, not just sad for the sake of it. I think what stands out is how it captures those fleeting moments—like a simple summer day—that linger in your memory long after the credits roll.
