Never has a film been more deserving of an exclamation mark at the end of the title than this animation from Japan.

"By the end of this film, I believed how deeply these fictional animated characters cared for each other—something many films fail to do."

Cosmic Princess Kaguya! is a wonderfully refreshing take on a classic fable that brings it into the future for a modern audience.

Inventively, this anime mashes together music, fighting, and sci-fi elements to create an often visually stunning adventure.

While Cosmic Princess Kaguya! is definitely not the most accessible or comprehensible movie for the general viewer, it will likely be a homerun for anyone who falls into its intended target audience.

Cosmic Princess Kaguya manages to simultaneously be extremely timely and yet very much timeless.

Começo dizendo sobre a qualidade técnica dos desenhos. Muito bem feito e suportado para 2h30 de filme. O roteiro se baseia num conto e até ai tudo bem, subtramas bonitas e emocionais, mas a última parte do filme ficou surreal demais. Temos diversos finais, inclusive após os créditos temos mais uma longa cena aparentando outro fim. É como um você decide qual final feliz você quer. As músicas não são bonitas e também tornam o filme cansativo.

The story was very interesting, and the art was great, but the music was some of the worst I’ve ever heard, both in Japanese and the dub.

Cosmic Princess Kaguya! is a beautiful film, both visually and narratively. While it gets bogged down in some weaker animated tropes rooted in virtual avatars and MMO experiences, the core sisterhood and eventual blossoming romance are extraordinary beyond my expectations. If you love fun characters and the beautifully mundane bonds that can overcome anything that comes their way, this is a film that you will hold close to your heart for years to come. Check out my more in-depth review at The Reel Ranker by searching "Cosmic Princess Kaguya!" ;)

This amazing movie made me think about how deep is life sometimes and how fast time passes. Me, a person who was lest a part far away from my friends because they excluded me (and still exclude me). I really love music and how deep the story is. All the songs that were made for the movie are amazing, the animation is unbelievable and how deep it is, is heartbreaking. I cried at the end of the movie. I really love this movie and from now on is going to be my favorite movie.
