6/10
Falls short of being memorable

Warning: Spoilers
This is quite a nice anime movie. On the surface, the anime tried to sell its story with the attraction of a unique talking dog. However in its core essence, it was a movie about family problems and a little girl who just wanted the best for her family. There were some comical moments and the sad moments were not overly sentimental. However, what prevented me from rating this movie a 7 star or above, was due to the fact that the final moment was a bit of a letdown in my opinion. It was like the creators were rushing for deadlines and came up with a convenient solution to the ending. If this movie was remade with a better ending, magical or not, it could have the potential to be on par with the best anime movies of all time.
