Wolf Children Audience Reviews

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Nonureva Really Surprised!
Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
fiatfer123 After watching Wolf Children for the first time (in English), I cried for three days straight. Never before had I seen a film that truly gave me an emotional understanding of the sacrifices that mothers make for their kids. Selfless love doesn't even describe it. Everything about this film, from the lush landscapes of Tohoku to the divine score by Takagi Masakatsu, demonstrates an inimitable humanity that Mamoru Hosoda fosters for his characters. While all of his films since The Girl Who Leapt Through Time have explored themes of family and growing up, Wolf Children is surely his masterpiece.
SaptarshiForYou At first I have to say this film is worth 8.2. The sweet flow of the anime is really great. Mother's affection, which is the main topic of this sector anime, is presented perfectly by Hosoda(Sir).... This is one of my favorite anime films of all time.I appreciate that it has no such sides which contains mystery, thrill, action, adventure (The things mankind prefer much nowadays) but the significance of Mother's Love can't be shown much greater than this film.Especially I have no intention to spoil the story, but i can't help mentioning the best line from the trailer- "You can think this is a fairy tale but, to a mom it hadn't!" My Review - "You may feel that you are a complete misery to the world but don't think so.... because you will always be a same treasure to your mother even if the world is against you, she will always be at your side." and this is my thoughts that snatches me into the core of the film..really...really great film, just try to give it a run. It is a pure family anime, you can enjoy it with your family members.Thanks for paying your precious time to read this anime. I think you will appreciate my thoughts.
Nihal Abhishek This is story that I can never forget and would always be a great inspiration for me in life. I am completely mesmerized by Hana. When her husband dies and after which she faces many hardships raising her children I thought she would tell her kids to not become wolves for her sake but the way she raised her kids I could have never thought while I was watching the movie. The story has few more ironies which fits really well to the story. Yuki was very lively and loved being a wolf, whereas Ame was afraid because he thought that humans hated wolf but as the story progressed completely opposite happens. The manner in which this thing happen in the story can only be appreciated if people see this movie. I may write hundreds of words after falling madly in love with the story but these words of praise can only be appreciated once you see this. Believe me this story will make you regret your way of living life. To be honest I am already starting to feel the pressure whether I can really change my life but if I fail then what's the point of me writing all these words. Wolf children is certainly not the story to miss out. The story may not be complicated but it is a story that needs more than just applause. The character build up is fantastic. This is a story about motherhood and her unconditional love towards her children. Hana though being alone after the death of her husband kept on smiling for a very simple but heart touching reason that her name meant that she would always smile and never let her loved ones feel alone even in the toughest of times. Yuki her Daughter was also very lively and energetic, which really made me cry because I realized that I was also very similar to her as a child and how I have let myself down after growing up. The moment in the movie which really made started making feel "Hang on I may have hit jackpot" (not really correct choice of words but something even better than Jackpot) was when she says "I don't know how to raise wolf children" and the moments just after that, from there on It was just a masterpiece. I have seen "girl who leapt through time" which is also from the same Director which was quite emotional as well but in those terms this movie is even better than that. I cried for 3 days after finishing this movie (Of-course not continuously but whenever I was alone I would burst out and cried). The one other Anime which made me cry for this long was "Your lie in April" which is was also very emotionally intense. I have seen quite a lot of anime and also lot of non Anime movies and TV series and I just think that there is definitely something different in the way Japanese people think. Because If I have to give the names of few best movie or TV series in all the different genres or combined I would say that there would be Anime stories at the top of every list. This is something which I am actually very proud of because I have seen people neglect Anime just because they think that it's for Kids but let me tell you if there is really something worth watching, then these Japanese Anime would always be at the top and for this I don't need to tell anyone that please watch this, because if they don't then they don't deserve to watch these Japanese Masterpiece.
James Turner I don't often write reviews to films that I watch off unless they are something special. Wolf Children is just that. I'm not going to include any spoilers in here, or go into analysis of the plot. However, let me tell you that this film will move you. Numerous times during my viewing I was taken aback at how emotionally powerful this film was. Countless times throughout I was astounded at the summation of the film's parts. Soundtrack, plot, animation, all of these working in perfect tangent to create something utterly spectacular. Watch this film .
