Ah, Like the clouds, like the wind.
I've always wanted to see this anime. I don't know why I didn't until now. Something about it held me back. I don’t know what it was. I started watching it a few years ago and quit before it started. Maybe I wasn’t ready for this movie back then.

She's not quirky just annoying. (How can it be that she doesn't know the difference between male and female when she's grown up among farm animals..?)
There's also too many tonal changes which is really annoying.
It looks like a Ghibli film without the ...
