The Garden of Words is more like an animated short story or classic romance novella with its concentrated potency. The colorful and artistic visuals of The Garden of Words will paint you a memory you won’t forget. Along with the soundtrack and song, it captures a moment where you feel as if you were there with the characters. It’s also from this moment that hopes are formed with Takao and Yukino. There’s this feeling from this 46-minute film I got that people can relate to. It’s about hopes and dreams for the future. Whether you want to watch it for its beautiful visuals or for the story, (I recommend both, it’s that good!) you’ll be stunned either way. A must watch! Page 30 Anime Reign | Issue 2 | 2013
