Hokkyoku Hyakkaten no Concierge-san (original) (raw)

Review summary: A nice 70 minute animated movie. It's packed with just the right amount of happy, tearful, and bit a dark scenes.
Who should watch: People who liked movie paintings by movie trailer. People who like anime about workplace. Also recommended for children.
Who should not watch: There's no thrill or suspense. You will become sleepy.

(Note: I have not read the original manga.)

(+) A colorful department store and many animals appear.
As you can see from the movie's trailer, it's colorful. The four seasons are beautifully painted. Also, many animals (including extinct animals) appear, so it's fun to watch.

(+) A story about getting used to job.
A story... about the main character getting used to her job. Episodes from the original manga are seamlessly connected. The main character's voice was also great. Watching movie warms my heart.

(+) Nice script.
There is a bit of secret in the worldview (background) of this work, but it was expressed very weakly in the movie. Those who know the original story may have mixed reviews, but I have a good impression about this script. The result is a movie that can be recommended to children. I also praise the way the movie was neatly put together in a short 70 minutes.

(-) Doesn't leave a strong impression.
This movie doesn't leave a strong impression on me. Some people may find the story to be flat. but it's a very heartwarming movie.

When I was a child, my parents took me to a department store. It evoked the emotion of the time. Thank you for making the movie!
