About Rainbow Fireflies

Here is what Rainbow Fireflies (Nijiiro Hotaru: Eien no Natsuyasumi) is about, retold in plain terms: a fantasy, romance and slice of life anime by Toei Animation (2012). What the story covers: Yuuta was 12-year-old boy, who had lost his father in the traffic accident one year ago. In the summer vacation, he visited a deserted dam deep in the mountains, where he had a good time with his father before.

Another thread: Without warning a thunder storm occurred and he slipped on the ground. He lost consciousness and woke up to find a girl and an unfamiliar village. He time-traveled 30 years and reached a village, which sank at the bottom of the dam.

As a fantasy title, world-building, magic systems and creature design set the tone. If you count yourself among fans of magic, kingdoms and invented worlds, put it on your list.
