A contained, minimalist, yet captivating drama. A simple and maybe an unfortunate one, but a worthy watch.
My little odyssey at the time of touring the filmography of the __Studio Ghibli__ officially began 5 days ago, with __Hotaru no Haka__ being the starting point. If I'm being honest, I've rarely felt as excited about a movie as I have felt with these. Each new movie made me feel like the "me" of over…

I love the vibe and the animation of this film. It's exceptional of acting as a time capsule, really capturing that 80s vibe from Japan. And the animation in particular is fantastic. That might sound silly, to praise a Studio Ghibli film for its animation. But given that this is not a "main-line" Gh…

I'm honestly buffled by the fact that this is a ghibli movie. The animation was alright, the main hero and his best friends were nice enough characters, but the girl - Oh.MY.***.

I was immediately struck by its poster which, rather than displaying the fantasy elements that the studio is…

"Ocean Waves" is a clever name for a movie that showcases the tumultuous state of life people can have. Of course, it also works well as Kochi is a coastal city! I'll get right into it and talk about the main cast of 3. May contain mild spoilers!
Kochi is a small city, and obviously, when someone f…

If I were to ask you who the most famous anime studio in the world was, I have no doubt 100 percent of the vote would be Studio Ghibli. Out of all the animation studios that have entered the hearts of otaku around the world, Ghibli has offered a special kind of magic that can touch your life in a w…
