🎬 Scarlet (2025) — Anime Movie Summary
Scarlet is a visually striking anime feature directed by Mamoru Hosoda (known for Belle and Mirai). The story reimagines Shakespeare’s Hamlet in a fantastical world: a fierce princess named Scarlet sets out on a dangerous quest to avenge her father’s murder by her treacherous uncle Claudius. After failing and being gravely injured, she awakens in a mystical limbo-like realm where she encounters Hijiri, an idealistic young man from a different era who challenges her understanding of vengeance and offers a path toward emotional healing and possibility.

The film blends fantasy, adventure, romance, and sci-fi elements with Hosoda’s trademark emotional storytelling and lush animation. Critical responses praise its ambition and visuals but are mixed on its narrative execution.
