Mamoru Hosoda’s anime tells the story of Kun (voiced by Kamishiraishi Moka), a little boy who lives a happy life until the arrival of a new sister throws everything off-kilter. What follows is a retreat into a fantasy world, populated by some interesting characters: a prince (Yoshihara Mitsuo), Mirai’s deceased grandpa (Yakusho Koji) and even a future version of himself (Haru Kuroki). It’s a child’s adventure of the mind, portrayed with the superb animation we’ve long come to expect from Japan.
