Visually stunning. At times, it’s legitimately one of the best looking animated movies I’ve seen. Unfortunately, I didn’t connect which the story for most of the runtime. It’s clearly inspired by Miyazaki’s Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle, but it just didn’t quite work as well for me. Part of it had to do with the language translation and the fact that the dialogue moves so fast at times that it’s hard to catch what’s being said. Not to mention I really didn’t want to be reading subtitles since it was distracting from all the eye candy on the screen. I really wanted to rate it higher because it’s truly a stunning looking film, but the reality is that I was bored for large chunks in the middle. I still recommend checking it out if you’re a fan of animation. The trailer gives a pretty good taste of what you could expect.
