Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms --- definitely a must-watch film!
Once you love someone, you'll truly be alone.
This statement makes sense, doesn't it? Sometimes, we feel so independent and try not to rely on others. Sometimes, we try to create a wall... but for what reason? I guess it's because we want to protect ourselves. We're afraid because when we love someone, when we rely on other people, we become vulnerable.
But what would you choose? To isolate yourself to protect your heart; or would you take the risk and embrace every feeling and experience (be it good or bad) that comes with it?
Ok... I'm being quite philosophical here, but I can't help it. I just finished watching this certain anime which made me think and appreciate life and everything that comes with it. This animated film is called, "Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms".

The story centers around the life of Maquia, a girl from the "Clan of Partings". They live in a place called Iorph (thus they're called Iorphs) and are considered the living legends as they could live for centuries, yet they can maintain their appearance in their late teens. The Iorphs weave the happening of each day into a fabric called Hibiol. The vertical threads are the passing days, while the horizontal ones are the lives of mankind.

Our main character, Maquia, is an orphaned Iorph and somehow felt alone despite being surrounded by other people in their clan. One night, the peaceful life of the Iorphs was destroyed when the Mezarte army invaded their place alongside their captured beasts called a Renato.
Maquia somehow escaped... and as she wandered around the forest, she stumbled upon a baby who is crying. The baby's family was just killed. Having the same circumstance, Maquia took the baby with her and considered him her own.

As Ariel (the baby) grew up, his and Maquia's life has become interwoven. Let me show you the trailer of the movie below...

I cried a lot watching this movie. It's so heartwarming and I just love how the story unfold. Saying goodbye is indeed one of the hardest things that we can experience. It's never easy to do so, but with every goodbye, we grow, learn and experience life. Watching this movie made me realize how lucky I am to have my mama.
Blood isn't always thicker than water, because sometimes, the people we encounter and who we choose to be our family weighs more than some greedy blood relatives. (You'd understand what I mean when you watch the film...) Despite it being a fantasy movie, there are a lot of relatable realistic points that were addressed. It's indeed a movie with depth and substance. I totally love it!
The art style and animation are also really amazing. I especially like how the world in this anime was depicted.
All in all, it was worth all the tears I've shed watching this movie.haha I highly recommend this movie!!! If you still haven't watched it, please do so.
Thanks for checking this post out. See you around! (^^,)/

The themes of love, loss, and the depth of human connections are so universal, yet this film seems to present them in such a unique and moving way.

It looks very beautiful and touching, I didn't know it, but I like those movies that leave a message and are touching.
The animation is beautiful and from your review I think it will make me cry too haha
It is!!! I hope you watch it when you get the chance. It'll definitely be worth your time... :)
que bella se ve la animación y la temática igual!
What a beautiful animation and theme it looks like!
Indeed... though it's partly fantasy, the concept is truly relatable. I hope you watch it! :D
I saw this film expecting a visual spectacle full of magic, action and fantasy, but I ended up crying completely amazed by the story it tells. What I love about this film is that, apart from presenting us with a fantastic world immersed in the war for power, it shows us a small couple of Made and son who have a somewhat peculiar.Also, how these characters develop as they go through various circumstances, they separate, the son grows to become an adult and they meet again... a marvel.
I loved this movie a lot, mostly because at the time, when I saw it, I didn't expect at all everything I saw. Anyway, one of my favorites of this genre.
For real!!! It was unexpectedly amazing! 😻 Thanks for dropping by 😊
When we take the time to watch an anime we always expect it to be worthwhile, and well, from what I read in your post this story touched your feelings significantly.
And yes, we are lucky to still have our mothers. Cheers!
I didn't expect the movie to be this good. Glad I took some time to watch it. 😁✨
Thanks for the review. Probably not my style of anime because I like more lighthearted stuff...However always good to have another one on the list for when I'm feeling more sentimental :)
Feel-good anime and films are awesome, too! I hope you enjoy this film when you feel sentimental... 😁✌️
To be honest, these kinds of movies also make me teary-eyed, maybe because I am just a very sentimental person. With that being said, I am going to check this out.
