I can confidently say I would prefer a source-faithful (i.e. romance-centric) adaptation of this one. Not KyoAni’s best work, storywriting-wise.

It does not detract that aside from the story, everything else is done with rigor and love: the world around it, the VAs, the comedy, the animation in general. The Age of Electricity has come, and with it, clearer air. Inako and Kihachi can finally see Mt. Fuji from a distance.
