This one goes out to every person who has ever complained about how the film/series/anime "cut out so much from the novels". You got what you wanted with this one. I deeply suspect that not a single line of dialogue has been cut.

Formative childhood literature aside, I watched it because it's Studio Ghibli's first take on a TV anime, directed by Miyazaki Jr. I was knocked out by either a mild flu or the cold from hell, so something slow and simple was just what my brain needed.

It grew on me. Slowly. )

I initially felt like I should watch it again before I did opinions Unfortunately, it did not invite to instant re-watch, like some Ghibli films have. It's got a lot in common with Only Yesterday, in that aspect: For being one of the most profound films I have ever seen, it was storywise uneventful.

But fascinating, and never boring. And I stayed home from work due to a bad cold. )

Analysis BS because it's there )
