Review

Amazing film but hated the ending but there really was no other way it could've ended ='[
Sad it had to happen at the end.
Going back to the beginning, the fim is not what I expected. I had no idea what the film was about besides Nishikido Ryo was in it and it was about Purin (judging by the movie poster xD), so I love what the story turned out to be. It was funny, heartwarming, enjoyable and little Fu-kun was in it too! SO CUTE! xDD
