Star Oriental - Who's Your Favourite Star? |
Anime Pocket Guide Description:
Taku Morisaki is a college student on his way back to a high school reunion. On the plane flight back, he remembers events from his high school days. He remembers getting a glimpse of a new girl with his friend Matsuno. Later, Matsuno introduces his new girlfriend to Morisaki. Her name is Rikako Muto. She is very good in sports and academically, but is a social outsider since she is a transfer student. In their last year in school, the class takes a trip to Hawaii. When Rikako's money is stolen, it is to Morisaki that she asks to help her. This doesn't go unnoticed by Matsuno, and cracks begin to appear in their friendship. This is a very real look at relationships, and how a single act may change them forever. Did a romantic triangle form? It's hard to tell. This TV movie compares well with better live-action dramas and outshines most anime. NOTE: This is Studio Ghibli's first solo attempt by the "younger generation" of the company. Miyazaki-sensei was not involved.
