Wiki.

Dareka no Manazashi (Japanese: だれかのまなざし, lit. Someone's Gaze), is a Japanese anime short film written and directed by Makoto Shinkai. It was initially screened at the Tokyo International Forum on February 10, 2013, though it was also shown alongside Shinkai's film The Garden of Words during its Japanese premier on May 31, 2013. It was later posted on YouTube from September 2013 to January 2014. Dareka no Manazashi is a slightly futuristic story about the maturation of a recently independent young woman and her changing relationship with her father. The story develops through reminiscent scenes of their family life and the connection the girl and her father share with the family's cat.

The film was produced by CoMix Wave Films, NEST, and TYO M1 Production in collaboration with The Answer Studio Co., Ltd. The voice cast includes Fumi Hirano, Satomi Hanamura, and Shinji Ogawa. Hirano's narration was crucial in helping Shinkai structure the film. Other leading staff included Makoto Taiga, Miho Suzuki, and Takumi Tanji. Akihisa Matsuura directed the music, and Kazusa wrote and sang the theme song, "Sore de Ii yo" (それでいいよ, lit. It's all fine), which was aimed at matching the tastes of a younger generation.

Online reviews and comments universally praised the film as heartfelt and artistically vibrant, though it was criticized for its brevity. It was described as "deeply emotional", particularly for older viewers due to its emphasis on family bonds as a family changes over time.
