Kimitachi wa Dou Ikiru ka
While the Second World War rages, the teenage Mahito, haunted by his mother’s tragic death, is relocated from Tokyo to the serene rural home of his new stepmother Natsuko, a woman who bears a striking resemblance to the boy’s mother. As he tries to adjust, this strange new world grows even stranger following the appearance of a persistent gray heron, who perplexes and bedevils Mahito, dubbing him the “long-awaited one.” (Source: Letterboxd)

~~~__[SPOILERS AHEAD]__~~~ As soon as the credits rolled, half the audience stood up and left the venue in confusion. Among the reactions, some said they understood nothing of Miyazaki's vision; some parents were uncomfortable with some of the scenes their children had seen; others said they had al…
Read full review on AniList →img(https://criterion-production.s3.amazonaws.com/WSwNpQO6Sw943dILMFwaHObShxp142.jpg) I've always had a special feeling towards [Miyazaki's](https://anilist.co/staff/96870/Hayao-Miyazaki) films and, more broadly, Studio Ghibli films. Having discovered them at a very young age, it's like coming back…
Read full review on AniList →How do you live? Miyazaki desperately seeks an answer to this question as he makes it again to the author of the original book, in which the film is titled in Japanese (“Kimitachi wa dou ikiru ka?”; “How do you live?”). The octogenarian and multi-award winning director demonstrates his non-respons…
Let me just get the preamble out of the way: I'm not a Ghibli superfan. I like a lot of their movies, but I don't think Miyazaki is infallible. I also had literally no idea what to expect from this movie going into it, not even the setting. All I knew was the title and what the main character looked…
Read full review on AniList →img820(https://files.catbox.moe/ndaxy1.jpg) I can count on my fingers the number of directors I still have expectations from in this industry. Anime movies have been lacking on creativity, especially ever since [Kimi no Na Wa](https://anilist.co/anime/21519/Kimi-no-Na-wa/) came out, and it looks li…

Read full review on AniList →# Uma produção ímpar, como as outras de Miyazaki, marcando talvez o fim de uma era da forma nostálgica e igualmente ambiciosa como sempre foi; __O Menino e a Garça (2023)__ é mais uma produção fantástica do Estúdio Ghibli. Dirigido por Hayao Miyazaki (do qual expressou ser sua última produção), o f…
Read full review on AniList →_Obs: Contém spoilers, esse review foi feito para quem viu o filme._ O Menino e a Garça é um filme diferente, mas nem tanto assim. No decorrer do filme cheguei a pensar que era o filme mais metafórico e misterioso de Hayao Miyazaki que assisti, mas logo percebi que ele é até que parecido estrutural…
Read full review on AniList →Went for another Ghibli experience. What did I get? Absolutely this. What's the problem you may ask? This was literally the whole Ghibli Experience. The history was undoubtedly fascinating and intriging, but I think that there were too much of typical Ghibli "quirks" going on. It felt like the di…
Read full review on AniList →Is there a single artist on the face of the earth more tortured by their own legacy than Hayao Miyazaki? You'd think he wouldn't have much to complain about. This is a man who's spent his life creating some of the most enduring works of art of the modern era. From Nausicaa to Totoro to Mononoke to…
Read full review on AniList →__The Boy and the Heron__ is most explicitly an attempt to rekindle the flame of __Spirited Away__, but in a more artistic and whimsical form. Many of the character designs and imagery are very similar, as is the dream-like quality of the story. With a little of __Princess Mononoke__ and __The Wind…
