I didn’t really like this as much as I was expecting. It’s a Ghibli movie so obviously its still good, but the third act of the movie kinda lost me. It mostly felt like everyone was running, then stopping to talk/do something, then continuing to run. That’s a fine thing for a movie to do but it was getting a little stale.

I did like how Ghibli took a darker tone with this compared to their previous movies, I felt like it showed that they had range.
