The animated film giant of the next generation, Mamoru Hosoda. He created many famous works, such as "The Girl Who Leaped Through Time," "The Boy and The Beast," and whatnot. He's just released his latest movie "MIRAI" (Mirai of The Future) this summer.

This is a story about an "older" brother and a "younger" sister in Yokohama. Kun-chan is a 4-year-old, spoiled boy. One day, MIRAI-chan, Kun-chan's younger sister, comes from the future (so she is older at this point). The film depicts their adventure.

In Japan, it's already been come out, but not yet in the U.S. I saw an advertisement saying it's coming to LA this November or sometime.

I guess it is popular in Japan. However, I don't know if I like it, since I don't "love" the two films I mentioned above actually. For both movies, I like the development until the middle and the animation, but I don't really understand and am not convinced by the ending.

I wish I'll enjoy it when I see it.
