5-tou ni Naritai. is a 1995 drama anime movie about Ritsuko Hanauchi, a girl with a leg disability who wants to attend school, make friends, and keep moving forward despite overprotection at home and teasing from classmates.
In PopRot terms, the film follows Ritsuko as she pushes toward the ordinary freedom of school life. Her disability affects how adults protect her and how classmates judge her, but the emotional center is her determination to make friends and stay visible as a person with her own hopes.

Source Boundary
AniList and Kitsu were accessible for baseline facts. Jikan/MAL API and title-specific Fandom checks did not return stable usable data during this run, so PopRot does not pretend to have a scene-by-scene transcript or unverified character roster.
Where to Watch
I could not verify a legal streaming page for this older movie. Check licensed catalog search pages and official physical-media references where available; PopRot avoids unofficial uploads.
