Thanks for choosing to spend part of your day with me I really appreciate it. If you haven’t seen it you really should.
Immediately his skin starts to desecrate but he wasn’t sad, instead, he was happy that he and Hotaru could finally touch so he holds out his arms to her and says, “Hotaru come to me I can finally touch you”. At the end of their spirit festival date Gin accidentally touches a little boy, but how could he have known? The spirits disguise themselves as humans during the festival after all.
But they fall in love anyway, and they play together and explore the mountains and sometimes they even forgot the limitations between them.
What’s makes this movie so romantic is that they fall in love even knowing that they can’t touch, knowing that they can never be intimate with each other. That last summer, Hotaru made her feelings known, she said that once she graduated she would look for a job in that town so she could see Gin all the time. He was thinking to himself that even though he hates crowded places he would endure them to be with her but he is a spirit so he can’t leave the mountain. Once she hit puberty she got into high school she realized she wanted to see Gin all the time, not just having to wait until summer to see him, she wanted to be able to see him in the fall, in the winter and in spring and lo and behold Gin was having similar thoughts. That’s when she realized that Gin wasn’t changing, it’s as though times moves ten times slower for gin because he stays exactly the same even as Hotaru grows into a young woman. She asked if she could come to see him again the next day and once he said yes, they spent every day of summer together and when it was time for her to go back home he asked her if she could come back next summer and that’s how it was. Hotaru seemed drawn to him from the very beginning even though he has a mask covering his face. Gin and Hotaru meet on one fateful summer day after Hotaru got lost in the forest, she was so little and tired from walking around in circles, he took pity on her and decided to guide her out of the mountains. Gin was abandoned in the mountain of the spirits as a baby which is where the mountain God turned him into a spirit-like thing to allow him to survive and grow without a mother’s care. Hotaru has been going there since she was six. It all starts with the female main character packing to prepare to go stay with her aunt and uncle in the mountains for the summer, her name is Hotaru. Hotarubi no Mori e is a romance anime about a spirit boy who will disappear when he touched by another human being. This movie is I think more popularly known as Hotarubi no Mori e I say this because of the reviews of it on YouTube refer to it by its original/Japanese name but I thought the English title was just too pretty to resist.
