Great post about an outstanding movie! A great fantasy story, and is so unique! When fantasy is the subject, all movies, and series are the same. Dragons, trolls, orcs, gnomes, dwarfs, goblins... This production is not only beaty but unique!
One of my first contact with non comercial anime. Ghibli studio is full of awesome material! I was thinking about writing about this but looks like you got it first!
I have some in mind! Glad that one cant decide about wich anime is better... There are plenty!
Oh yes, Ghibli has so much more, they know how to make mainstream topics a complete master piece, because they are not afraid of show their real ideas, without filters because "it's for kids"
