I have never seen an anime that glues people to their seats like this one does. I've even started playing it while people who were "not into anime" were in the room and they eventually get so wrapped up in the story and the characters that they can not walk away.It's great!
This is, by far, my favorite Studio Ghibli film of all time. I can watch it 3+ times in a row and never get tried of it. Not only is the story one of a kind, and the characters all enjoyable, but the art is phenomenal! The landscapes and the scenery are absolutely breath taking.
The music is also incredible. Just listening to the soundtrack makes my soul soar (my tree-hugger comment of the day, right thar).
Another likable quality about this film is that it is enjoyable, no matter what your age. The story is just as entertaining for adults as it is for kids.
Howl's Moving Castle is a 10/10, must see for everyone (whether you like anime or not).
