Can't wait until they meet the cute bunny gatekeeper

This movie feels like it wants to be as whimsical as a Ghibli film but with the edge of a i dunno...edgy military anime

How is there a sky down there? Maybe they died from drowning in that lake earlier.

Ni no Kuni disc is staring at me, saying why are you not playing me and instead watching this movie.
Probably a Tibetan allegory here.
At least it's NOT a stupid fetch quest!

When you think about it, it actually is. He has to go get an item and bring it back to base.
*has seen it*
Maybe a little. The magical beasts sort of gave a Mononoke vibe (wasn't paying attention to the deer one mentioned, which would definitely give that impression).
Important haircut time...eh, never thought much of that trope (and Asuna will probably still keep calling him Shun anyway).

I will say I'm not bored by this, but it's not grabbing me either.
It's a very eh, I guess I'll watch it movie.

It doesn't really look much like the deer god in Mononoke, though.
By the way, we're about halfway through the movie now.

I wish we could watch the boy and the beast right now. I love that director so much.
Thoughts so far:
- Dub is alright, though by Sentai standards, it's probably the best we've had on here.
- It REALLY wants to try to simulate Ghibli, but doesn't really succeed aside from looking very pretty, though at least it's an interesting concept. Just not executed great.
- I'm glad I'm seeing this, but I feel like I won't have any desire to rewatch it, plus will be kind of hard to recommend unless they liked Shinkai's other films & had interest in this. Very "meh"
- Pacing seemed to be an issue early on, not sure if it'll get better. Seems to be going slower compared to earlier.

this is where I stand. Its very pretty and the premise...or at least what I think the premise is, is neat.
The important haircut as a character moment is usually a bit too cut and dry for me. It feels like its drawing too thick a distinction in something that should be more gradual.
That said, honestly, Shun/Shin are barely characters in this movie in the first place, so its whatever.
Oh my God, I thought this was the final segment, AAAAHHHHHH
Similar. Basically it's very pretty and I love the animation but the movie is more in love with its world-building than I am.
By far his weakest film but It's still a lot better than this one
This shading is giving me bad Berserk 2016 flashbacks
