Trivialidades:

The scene of the closing credits in the American (Disney) version of the DVD is slightly cropped, cutting off the heads of the people walking by. Viewers who have seen only this version, therefore, may have missed Shizuku and Seiji passing on his bicycle and a scene later where Yuko meets Sugimura and they walk off together.

Errores:

Continuidad: It is not clear whether this is a mistake or a hint that the Baron is alive, but in every scene that the Baron is shown, he looks different than the time before (position of hands, cane and hat).

Citas:

[sees Shizuku asleep]
Yasunari Tsukishima: Look at her, my little warrior.

Excellent and Heart-warming

This has to be one of the greatest, most inspiring films. The story's about a young girl and how she meets the boy of her dreams. It sounds rather cliché but it's actually off the beaten track. Even though the characters are in 8th grade, they're rather mature and understand the consequences of their actions. It's very heart warming and nice, and rather different, in a very good way, than what most people would think. You get to see the characters develop and go through crushes, friendships, and many other things that are just part of growing up. The best part is that the film makers don't exaggerate or make it over dramatic; they make it so that you care deeply for the characters and identify with what they're going through. The movie also has the song "Take Me Home, Country Roads" as it's main theme, and the characters even sing it in the movie in a moving scene. It may sound strange at first, but everything's very tastefully and well-done. The movie also makes one remember that dreams do come true, even when you least expect it, and that sometimes reality can be better than your greatest dreams; and in light of the times we're living in, it makes you appreciate the smaller but more important things in life.
