Kokoro Anzai has become a shut-in and refuses to go to school. One day her bedroom mirror starts to glow and she goes inside. She is greeted by a little girl wearing a wolf mask along with six other kids about her age that are waiting on the castle stairs. The little girl known as the wolf queen tells everyone that they have a year to find a key in the castle that will grant any wish they desire. However, only one person can have their wish granted, and once it's granted everyone will lose their memories of their time at the castle. They are free to use the castle from 9 am to 5 pm. If they stay any later a wolf will eat them. Kokoro sees this as a chance to escape from the horrors of everyday life. Pretty soon seven strangers turn into seven friends. Will they choose to have their wish granted and lose their memories, or keep their memories without having their wish granted?
Lonely Castle in the Mirror was hard to watch for the first half, but the second half was really good. This movie deals a little bit with bullying and trauma. That's why it was hard for me to get into. The fantasy element was super cool to me though. I really enjoy stories that switch between worlds, and this felt like a unique take on the isekai genre. The language is clean and there are no lewd scenes. I would definitely suggest giving it a try.
