I waited this since 2013. At some point I stopped searching information about it. I recently found out it has been available English subbed since late 2015's. I watched it in the same day and well.. I was disappointed.
Originally I wanted to see it for the art -because let's face it: that poster picture of the movie looks absolutely fabulous. The art was good and animation too. Since I enjoy simplicity, I liked how it looked, but everything else was.. meh. The movie is clearly aimed for children under 5 years of age, and it really didn't have any magic to offer to adult audience -unlike most animation movies do.
The story centers around this girl who the movie got its title from: Anina. Her life is pretty sad because her name is lame as Anina is aninA also when written backwards. Everyone who isn't 5 of course knows such trivial matters don't actual mean anything. The movie is supposed to be about some self-discovery, but actually it was about boring children being children, having bad characteristics and nothing more. I didn't enjoy it.
