Customer Ratings & Reviews

Have to watch this one again! Like all of these there’s always something new to see when you watch it again.

The visuals in this film are absolutely stunning. It deserves 5 stars on animation alone. My only complaint is that I found it too short. Still, I thoroughly enjoyed this film.

One of the most visually stunning anime ever created. The picture clarity and detail are amazing.

Even though movie is short it is really good. Video quality is great too!

This "movie" was particularly a strange recommendation. The story seemed good, and it definitely was. The characters were great, the love story was strong and strange. It really was a captivating story. The secret being held throughout the movie was great too. It ended rather abrubtly for me, and I wasn't all that pleased with the closure in it. However, the story along the way was fun and exciting. I wouldn't call this a movie since it was so short. Perhaps if they added another 45 minutes we could have had a decent ending. I would still watch it again.

Makato Shinkai is a terrific animator and story teller through very few words or many, colorful scenes and heart felt connections. Most of his works have a longing of connection, people can understand in many of his works that everyone has a longing for connection and it is never undersold in his story or artwork. Bravo

The Garden of Words is an amazingly colorful and vibrant anime movie with stunning visuals and scenery. I'd rewatch it again just for that reason alone! Definitely consider picking it up if you are a fan of top-notch animation!

This is a gorgeous anime, and you'll be glad you watched it on Blu-Ray instead of streaming it. However, the story is a bit... interesting, to say the least. Then there's the 40-something minute runtime. If you're not looking to buy this specifically because some .gif or clip you saw, probably wait til this one's on sale.

A beautiful story of friendship that enables one to work through hard times and the other to pursue their dreams.

Another Great story, love the development between the two characters and how they help each other in their journey in life and has a moving ending.

This is a newish anime drama film. It's pretty good if you like that sort of anime. No action or anything just a straight drama movie.

A great anime worth a watch would recommend it!!!!

Classic Anime, great picture quality and sound. recommended.

Art direction is amazing Short simple and sweet anime!

A beautiful movie created by a wonderful studio of artists.

Ending may leave some wanting more but, overall, it was an amazing story
