“I will try to make this as short as I can:u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTo give context, Iu0026#39;ve watched all of studio Ghibliu0026#39;s movies (because this is what people are comparing this movie to) and enough hours of anime / animated movies and series to have several PhDs… Thatu0026#39;s probably not a good thing. Moving on…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe art is beautiful and the animations are amazing, sometimes reminding me of the old Disney style of animation. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story and music are kind of where this movie falls short. The story is pretty predictable and the music is kind of generic but I still loved watching this.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis movie definitely doesnu0026#39;t deserve a grade under 7. If you loved the stuff by studio Ghibli, then youu0026#39;ll love this. Itu0026#39;s as simple as that so go watch it.”
