Sayonara no Asa ni Yakusoku no Hana wo Kazarou
Lang, will you please bring Ariel back to where he belongs?
Sayonara Ariel, have a good life ahead
I'm back, Ariel
"Welcome home"
I'm glad you have lived your life to the fullest. Have a safe trip, Ariel
I'm glad I loved you. As long as I live, you will always be my Hibiol.
Every parting is followed by a new meeting... And a new journey.
A clan of the separated. Maybe that's the place I belong to... since detaching and leaving are something I do often. I'm going to leave soon again. And the difference is, I forget.
I watched hundreds of anime, shows, movies and I forgot most of them. I met thousands of people and I forgot thousands as well. Sorry if I forgot you. I actually forgot this anime. ><

I just finished watching Maquia and now I'm emotional. I can't even type what I really want to say.

Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms is probably the best anime I've ever watched, time to cry myself to sleep. 1000000/10 recommended and worthy of being re-watched too

my thoughts on maquia
I am not particularly fond of sad and emotional films. Being surrounded by a lot of negativity in my life, I did not want to make my emotional state worse. However, during a movie night with a friend, we somehow went from watching a bloody thriller movie (Ready or Not) to a supposedly sad movie – Maquia. This friend has been trying to get me and a couple other friends to watch Maquia for a year or two now so it piqued my interest a bit. And that, my friends, is how I ended up questioning my life decisions at 12 in the morning.
To give you a gist of Maquia (in case you have not seen it yet), here’s a quick summary of the plot.
The movie follows the story of the Iorphs – particularly a young girl named Maquia – which is a mystical race known for their longevity and weaving. One night, knights rushed in their land and a war erupted. Swept by a dragon, Maquia fled and stumbled upon an infant who she later on raised as her own son.
Before reading further, do note that there may be some spoilers in this review. If you want to savor the movie spoiler-free, watch it first then go back to this post.
Maquia started off pretty cliché. It was the typical “life was good until it wasn’t” kind of movie that I have seen plenty of times before. Maquia is an innocent and hardworking good girl to an extent. Which is how she ended up taking custody of an infant at the early age of 15 (woohoo teen mom). Now she might be a little clueless about this whole parenting thing but at least she knows her priorities. She strived hard to provide for her and Ariel (Eriel? I’m honestly not sure which is the right one but I’ll be using Ariel anyway. He’s the infant slash son by the way.) in a place filled with discrimination. I did not have the same level of determination as her when I was 15 but then again, it's not as if I am a teenage girl raising my adopted son.
My first heartbreak </3
Dear lord, I HATED it when they left their home. Leaving the kind mom and her two kids (also I thought Lang, the older child, had a crush on her from the get-go so I believe I’m pretty great at reading characters’ feelings.) was my first heartbreak from this movie. They were the ones that helped Maquia build herself up from the ground. Also, they sold cheese as a living! The thought of Maquia and Ariel not being able to see them again was just so sad for me.
Skipping some parts because I abandoned this for a while but still wanted to get it up.
The Ending
I was not really that emotional throughout the movie but when the ending hit, I may have just bawled my eyes out for a bit. The ending was anticipated knowing that Maquia lives long and most of the people around her are regular humans. Still, it did not fail to evoke a sense of loneliness and make me feel like an emotional wreck. It is pretty much a bittersweet ending, I think. Ariel had his own family and lived a presumably fulfilling life. Maquia tried as much as she could to enjoy her time with these people. However, she is also left to see those around her pass away. But what can she do? Everyone dies after all.
Overall, I enjoyed the movie. It was not a one-of-a-kind and very special movie for me but I would remember it as a tearjerker towards the end. I do recommend this to everyone looking to watch something a little sentimental.
