      Editing … Glad to hear that. Are movies always dubbed in the US? Here we usually have only kids' movies dubbed, and even then most people tend to watch the original language and subtitles.

      Editing … With animated films, usually. I would never, *never* watch a dub of a live action film, but when watching something like this, then so long as everything was properly translated, there should be no problem.

      Editing … All the Studio Ghibli films are dubbed well for the most part. The only one I don't like is Castle of the Sky's dub. The main character sounds like he's at least 30 years old and it's so distracting.

      Editing … A lot of Disney's dubs feel off for me, they pick a lot of name actors who don't really have any experience doing voice acting.

      Editing … I mean, Liam Neeson, there's a guy with a vibrant, expressive voice. Real range of emotion there. :)

    I cried three times watching this movie. Damn. It has to be one of the most beautiful works of art that I have ever seen with my eyes.

      Editing … Yay! The middle of the film is probably the weakest part and I don't really know how much of my rating was swayed by my emotions but I still think that objectively speaking, that this film is top tier Ghibli and every frame is something worthy of being framed on a wall because it's so beautiful.

    I liked it. The animation was gorgeous, has a very unique art style and the soundtrack was great. It has overall great presentation, like every Ghibli film.

    The story is where I had mixed feelings. I really liked the first half of the film, they made an incredible job at developing the characters and making them likeable and relatable. Whenever something was about to happen to them you legitimely felt something, whether it was joy or sadness.
    But then the movie kinda steps away from that and goes on a different direction, which left me feeling a bit cold. I was always wishing they went back to what they were going with in the first half, but that's not what they went with. I was kind of rolling with it, until the plot twist which I did not like at all. It came out of nowhere, and I didn't feel it made much sense.

    But otherwise it's a good movie, with some really great characters. I just feel the story was a bit misguided, which ultimately left me a bit dissapointed.
