This was a relaxing anime movie about a girl called Momo after losing her father. Things were rather uneventful at first, but that changed pretty quick. After looking at some ancient storybook some of the things suddenly became real. Even the local kids she was hanging out with couldn't change that scaredy cat. Somehow, even though she had a chance to have friends there, she chose to be alone most of the time. Seems like the ability to see those yokai creatures runs in Momo's family. That girl really needed to find some courage. Her reactions to everything were overemphasized.
Well, at least those three goofballs of a yokai were fun to have around. They were also a lot of trouble since getting them to listen to any reason was hard. No matter how strange they were, she considered them as friends after all. The adventures she had with them were certainly irreplaceable. Momo learned a lot and went through a lot because of them as well. This was a summer she'll never forget.
It truly is an interesting movie worth watching.
Plot:
Momo Miyaura is a shy and imaginative 11-year-old girl who is
suffering because of her father's recent death and the resultant extreme
changes in her life. From the big city of Tokyo,
Momo's family moves to her mother's childhood home, a remote island
named Shio. Momo does not adapt well to her new surroundings. Her father
left her an unfinished letter containing only two words, "Dear Momo".
As she tries to make sense of these two words and guess what her father
was trying to tell her, some strange incidents occur on the island,
which is otherwise tranquil. People's orchards are ransacked by an
unknown person, and some of their prized belongings start to go missing.
Momo also starts to hear strange sounds coming from the attic in her
house.
Momo's mother refuses to believe Momo about the strange sounds from
the attic, so Momo herself embarks on an adventure to discover the
source of these disturbances. During her investigations, Momo meets up
with Kawa, Mame and leader Iwa, a group of imps,
each of which have a different personality. In addition, Momo discovers
that the mysterious two-word letter from her father is connected to all
the strange occurrences, and to her arrival at Shio.
