R. F. F @RT36265540 Apr 18 One of my childhood favorites, and I'm not even really into anime. So hauntingly beautiful of a film. See more Joe L @Hoagie1013 Apr 8 Such a fun world that was built.

It has beautiful animation (especially for 1984!), and a simple enough story to be entertaining, but not too complex or hard to follow. This feels like a simple enough movie that it could easily get newcomers hooked on Studio Ghibli. It’s something simple and entertaining that appeals to both diehard Studio Ghibli fans, and casual audiences who just want an awesome animated movie. If you’re a Studio Ghibli fan or are interested in giving the studio a try, this is a great movie for you.

I loved it right away and watched it nonstop, to the point where it started to skip and I could no longer watch it. I highly recommend this movie.

The execution here is rather clumsy. The transitions are awkward, one sound effect will cut off another, and the animation, especially in flying scenes, is uncomfortably clunky, with movements that feel almost robotic and utterly out of place in the massive, grand scene composition. The exposition is also notably heavy-handed. Many conversations exist for the sole reason of telling, rather than showing, the events of the story, and sound completely unnatural. However, this film succeeds against all odds at immersing viewers in its beautifully twisted world, and despite its dark tone, it is a piece of cinematic comfort food that I will undoubtedly be returning to again and again.
