The storyline was really good and characters were likeable. I also enjoyed the soundtrack, I felt that each piece aptly portrayed the scenes for which it was played. The Opening and Ending themes were both really good. The story was entertaining and at the same time, fulfilling. The idea of having some villagers becoming one with the forest and gaining ‘superpowers’ was creative, especially the cost they eventually paid for doing so. Although this wasn’t a Hayao Miyazaki work, it had that feel to it…..the feel of a good movie I suppose.
I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes Hayao Miyazaki works (even though it wasn’t one of his movie), especially “Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind”, as well as to those who just enjoy good anime movies.
