Review:
Though the whole living ghost was a bit confusing, the film “Her Blue Sky” had a touching story. The art was okay, but the background looked artificial and not in the same wave as the rest of the animation. The voice acting was good too. As for the story, the relationship between the two sisters was sweet and that helped with the ending. However, the rest of the story was so so. The romance thing was just okay, but did not develop well. The rest of the characters were just there to support the action.
