As a child, I grew up watching the dubbed version of the Japanese animation series (Nobody's Boy Remi) in Arabic in the early 90s. Since then, it's been one of my favorite anime series/cartoons of all time, and with it I have developed my very first experience with the drama grief feelings and sadness.
Shyly 30 years later, I came to know about its adaption in this movie and I was terrified that they'd ruin it for me (This has been the case in most of old good movies adaption, sequences and remakes).
They say do not judge a book by its cover; but Remi's movie poster alone looked promising and it looked so familiar so, with my fingers crossed, I decided to give it a go and no, I was not disappointed.
Re-watching Remi's story as an adult, I got to re-live all the characters moments and all what they go through minute by minute without being betrayed by the filmmakers to shock us with any major changes to the story but instead to a deeper and more mature adaption than the cartoon I watched as a kid.
On top of all this; what I loved about this movie the most is that the filmmakers did not only stayed true to the story but they even went deeper and beyond to give you the closest resembling of Remi's main characters, and captured you inside their sad struggling atmosphere and the music was gently the cherry on top.
