Summer Ghost

Seeking some respite from the rigors of their studies, depressed cram-school classmates Tomoya, Aoi, and Ryo indulged themselves by pursuing an urban legend-and summoning a young woman's ghost that appears when fireworks are set off on a summer night. The experiment works, as the spirit shares what caused her fate-and stunningly explains why the kids were able to raise her. Moving anime short film features the voices of Chiaki Kobayashi, Rina Kawaei. 40 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Japanese; Subtitles: English. In Japanese with English subtitles.
