Hello. It has been a hot minute since I read it, but I thought it was fairly believable, relatable and quite emotive.

I wonder if my rating will remain the same for now...

If it is broadcast on TV, I can watch it while taking a break from the commercials, so I'm sure I'll be able to see what I missed and get it right the next time.

Oh, you were able to see it in theaters too! Good for you! Ghibli is relatively often released in theaters overseas, so I'm glad I was able to seize that opportunity for you.

Did you enjoy it?

If I had my way, I'd love to see Ghibli again with a new film that's fantasy like fantasy.

Hey there!
Sure) I love talking on this network))
Last week I was so mad about this anime, I would be glad to talk about it haha))

In my language when you read a chaotic book there is a saying "Not a book, but a set of words".
I felt this way about this anime. It felt like a set of random frames.

For me it felt repetitive, it felt like it had no meaning. Like it raised questions and quickly forgot about them.

The world-building is totally incoherent. What is the connection between birds-soldiers, pelicans, future human souls, doors leading in all kinds of ways, the geometric figures? Who are the figures that row the boats?
Why the heron feathers so precious that other birds can't attack you? Who is that heron dude inside?
If the uncle wants to make the boy an heir, why making so many complications? I get that boy's travels are supposed to be a hero's journey, yet it seems meaningless journey.

If the meteorite created a multi-universe, isn't that strange that only one family has access to this world?
Why the boy's mother is the only one who lives in that universe? Where are other family members?

The characters lack motivation or depth.
Yes, I understood that it's a story about boy grieving his Mom's death and adjusting to new life and new Mom. And I see no relations development between those two. I mean, he had more mother moments with that strong woman figure who killed the fish.
It is shown that his step-mother is unwilling to go home, and then she's suddenly like "okay, I changed my mind for no reason, let's head home)))))".
Why they show us that boy's father works on military facility? What's with that reference on Kaze Tachinu?


Not very long ago I've read an interview with Miyazaki-sensei, where he criticized modern anime. He said: "Modern anime is bad because it is made by otaku, who only reuses the tropes, don't add anything new since they have little life experience".
And what do I see? Anime that is self-cliche, self-repetition, self-plagiarism. That feels like it was created by ChatGPT.

There is a big difference between a studio having a signature style (like for Ghibli it is nature vs human topics, child protagonists' perspectives etc.), and when studio repeats itself but with different decoration.
(There was a moment in anime where they used absolutely exact frame as they did in Spirited Away and I literally laughed).


I have an unpleasant opinion. I think Miyazaki-sensei was really bored in his retirement era and wanted to get back to work.
Yet he made a half-ass anime. And since he's a huge authority, none of his stuff could criticize him.
And so we witness weak, lacking, repetitive piece of artwork :(

appreciated, thanks man

Thanks!!

Hi! Well, where it comes to Tsubasa Chronicle, I don't remember it that well. I watched it mostly cause of the cast of Cardcaptors. But I guess if I had to say anything about taht... it's good but doesn't say in memory? If you like themes like "party going on the adverture/quest" I think you could enjoy it.

Apothecary Diaries are really entertaining so far! It feels a bit episodic with the plot cause it has new misteries evry ep, but chatacters have nice dinamic, kinda reminds me of Kaichou wa maid-sama with their banter. So it's far from boring! I would recommed :D
I hope it helps

thanks for the fr

thanks for the fr! a fellow cinephile i see ^^

thank you, ill give it a try!

yotsuba!! and Yosuke!! he's a cool guy. I want an uncle like him. What is homonculouse?? tragedioness says some interesting words. animanga.

Maybe the thing about Homunculus being a must-read is up for debate but I do think that you should at least give it a try if you're interested in psychological manga because Homunculus is quite distinguished in the genre. I don't necessarily believe Homunculus is pretentious, I'm kinda careful about that claim because sometimes people label stuff as pretentious because they don't have the scope for said work. Homunculus explores philosophical and psychological themes well but quite brutally. It does get better as it goes on, so don't let the beginning chapters be a dealbreaker for you because some psychological mangas need a bit longer to flesh out their themes to the fullest. You should definitely try to read it and see if you like it. Personally though I think Homunculus has one of the best endings ever in animanga.

thanks man

Well, I think Ghibli's latest film will be more likely to be released in foreign cinemas if it wins some awards. However, it is not for everyone, so I think it will be difficult this time. ......

As for the movie "Slam Dunk," I think the evaluation will be different if you watch it in a movie theater or on a computer, smartphone, or tablet device. In the Asian region, it is highly rated because it is seen in movie theaters, including the sound, etc. If you watch it on a computer or video streaming, I think the rating will be a little lower.

All in all, I'm not one of those people who sees Ghibli movies in theaters, and some years I haven't because it's too much of a hassle to see them in theaters.

As for video streaming, I don't have the image of Studio Ghibli doing it, and I'm a little doubtful that they will.

Since the official pamphlet has not been released yet, I think that Studio Ghibli does not intend to release their films overseas for the time being.

I think it's okay to just look at the reviews as a reference. This movie seems to have a very different evaluation depending on the person.

Hello. Yes, I saw it just yesterday. It was not bad.

Actually, I fell asleep in the middle of the second half. There were several people who fell asleep as well. So, I gave it a rating of 7 because it was not at a level of fun that I could get lost in, and there were parts that felt monotonous. I fell asleep in the middle of the film, so if I were to give it a more detailed rating, I would give it a 6.8. I think it is a work that can be rated differently by different people.
