The Tunnel To Summer The Exit Of Goodbyes Reviews
Ever heard of a tunnel that could get you to summer... faster? Well, that's kinda what The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes is all about! It's a mouthful of a title, sure, but trust me, the story's way more fun.

Trippy Time Travel? Sign Me Up!
The main character, Kaoru Tono, isn't exactly thrilled with his life. He's got a past trauma, a complicated family situation, and generally feels a bit lost. Then he stumbles upon the Urashima Tunnel, a legend whispered among the locals.
The tunnel grants wishes, but at a cost – your time. Intrigued (and probably a little bored), Kaoru decides to explore its potential. That's when he meets Anzu Hanashiro.
Enter the Brainy Beauty
Anzu is… well, she's awesome. A bright, ambitious transfer student with dreams of becoming a filmmaker. She's also incredibly cynical and a bit of a pain in the butt. Naturally, Kaoru is drawn to her.
Anzu proposes a deal: They'll work together to unlock the secrets of the Urashima Tunnel. Her goal is to make a film about it, Kaoru to... well, he has his own reasons, tied to a past he's trying to change.
Cue the quirky training montages! Think less Rocky, more awkwardly stumbling around a dimly lit tunnel with cameras and questionable scientific equipment. It's funny, heartwarming, and just a little bit sad.
A Bittersweet Symphony of Time and Regret
The story isn't just about time travel; it's about regret. It's about the choices we make, the things we wish we could change, and the importance of living in the present. Heavy stuff, I know, but it's delivered with a light touch.
Kaoru and Anzu's relationship is the heart of the story. They bicker, they challenge each other, and they slowly, reluctantly, start to care for each other. It's not a straightforward romance, but it's something real and meaningful.
The animation is gorgeous, too. Think vibrant colors, dreamy landscapes, and a distinct style that sets it apart. The tunnel itself is beautifully rendered, adding to the sense of mystery and wonder.
But be warned, this isn't a simple, happy-go-lucky adventure. The consequences of messing with time are explored in a thought-provoking way. There are moments that will tug at your heartstrings, and maybe even make you shed a tear or two.
So, Should You Take the Plunge?
The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes is a unique and captivating story. If you're looking for something a little different, something that will make you think and feel, then definitely give it a watch.
Don't go expecting a Hollywood blockbuster. This is a smaller, more intimate story that focuses on character development and emotional resonance. It's a slow burn, but it's worth the wait.
