This is one of the most relaxing anime movies I’ve ever seen. It’s the perfect non non biyori movie, everything is wholesome, no lewdness, no weird anime tropes, it’s really a family-friendly relaxing movie.

Okinawa really reminds me of my country. The movie reminds me of the trips I’ve been going with my family. It’s really the pacific vibes (haha Pacific Ocean), and makes me remember all the fun I had when I was a child and how I get attached to the place I’ve been staying in, similar to the inn shown in the movie.

I just loved how realistic this movie was with the way the children acted and the adults too.
If you want to watch a relaxing movie with your family, this is the one.

[Spoilers I guess] Let's start from the beginning and I mean, the real beginning: The OVA. It's about the preparation and the last day spent in their homeland, but the movie showed how Suguru won the tickets to Okinawa. I liked the connection and gives more context. Then they start their journey and reach the ill, where they meet Aoi a child who worked there with her mother. They probably own the inn. They go to the beach, do their activities, and it's all wholesome. I liked how they decided to divide them into different rooms, it felt planned and this shows the authors have already experienced these type of trips. One thing I wanna talk about is that the kids are comparing how organized and obedient Aoi is compared to Hatsumi (If you have seen the series you pretty much know how Hatsumi is a bad student lol). During the first night, Hatsumi finds out Aoi's secretly playing Badminton when she was ordered by her mother to wash or do something with the dishes, Hatsumi talks to her and realizes she is a member of the badminton club of her school, so Hatsumi asks her to help her practice but Aoi mentioned to do it.

One of my favorite moments is when Renge woke up and didn't realize they were already in Okinawa, that happens to me too. During that second day they go snorkeling and the music and animation were beautiful. The ocean looked beautiful and right now I'm next to the ocean too, yeah I'm at the beach.

Poor Hikage, she was too dizy with the airplane and now with the waves. Later they hike through a small jungle which reminds me of my days especially the mangroves trees; Kazuho is a cool teacher btw. They kayaked and of course Komari and Hotaru got stuck with a mangrove. That was funny. The rest of that day and journey just made me nostalgic lmao.

During the third day they convince Aoi to act like a tour guide and as I said they finally played badminton together, they found weird sand at the beach and during the night the stars were beautiful, I can say it was the climax of the movie with all that beauty and relaxing experience.

And the final day was the goodbye day. Renge was not able to find dolphins but drew a lot of stuff and a first-grade elementary student draws better than I do lmao. The drawings were actually good and beautiful with only crayons.
The last drawing made me emotionlal: Hatsumi and Aoi together.
Don’t tell anyone that Non Non Biyori made me emotional. Hatsumi was building a really good friendship with Aoi. It’s sad when you have to go, I relate to that so much. I had even ended up crying like Hatsumi when I had trips like that.
It was not a "sayounara" moment anymore, it was more a "see you next time" moment. Made me happy again.

The movie after all was Non non biyori pinnacle, really beautiful and gave us a little story of friendship and companionship. I really wish I could spend my days as a child with them, they're funny and entertaining.

It's no masterpiece but it was what I needed: a confy and relaxing 1 hour of watching cute girls doing cute things: vacation edition!
