The Feel-Good Part
The whole movie serves as feel-good. the first half where they show the recaps of the last three seasons, even though there is nothing new in it, watching it is refreshing and all the memories of the last seasons come rushing back. It is so worth it.
The second half where they tell the story of Tohru’s parents is amazing. Their whole story is perfect and tragic. It serves a good deal of emotions in the whole movie.
