    The weakest Ghibli film I watched. granted I didn’t watch every one but a lot of them. My main problem is the last third of the film. Nearly every arc they started is not paying off at the end because this stupid bird just destroys everything. Nothing is explained, like in a lot of Ghibli films, however most of the other films imply meaning in a lot of ways and explain the world in subtle ways which this one just misses so hard…

      Yeah, I agree with this. Also each of his films has a clear motif, but this one is super vague. It’s about acceptance of death maybe? Or growing up? Letting go of… stuff?

        The weird thing is: the first time I saw this movie I thought “ah the first Ghibli movie that is not from Miyazaki” and its the exact opposite xD
