Hello.

I already finished of see this movie, but I have a big question, what happened with Okiyo?

Did anyone else feel cheated out of a good representation of a young love story in When Marnie Was There? Like I still love the movie, it was enjoyable, but the whole Grandma thing kinda felt like a slap to the face. It's obvious that the main character still has feelings for the same gender, as she put herself in the shoes of her grandma's lover, but I feel like it could've been a very heart touching story about young love. What are your thoughts?

Definitely my new favorite!!!

Personally I absolutely hated it. It does not feel like a Ghibli film at all. The writing is awful, the pacing is nonsensical, and the characters (if they are not boring) are infuriatingly annoying. I think Goro really missed the mark here.

I can't stop thinking about From up on Poppy Hill,

It's so so beautiful and i'm obsessed with what a heartwarming film it is.

I genuinely don't really like the romance genre, like at all. BUT...if it's GHIBLI ROMANCE?? i'm a hugeee fan. seriously im a sucker for ghibli romance specifically.

So, in the case of poppy hill, i cant get over how cute shun and umi are like as unfortunate as it is that we didn't get many scenes after they find out that they arent siblings (phew), i still love them together and i can enjoy their previous scenes more because ive seen it twice so i know already they are not related.

Anyways, just rambling but thanks for reading if u did and i dont know let me know if anyone else cant get over this movie lol

If GKIDS ever does decide to distribute it for home media, I would hope that they leave it un-dubbed, like they did with "Ocean Waves". There is something about the performance of the Japanese cast that goes unmatched, none of the dubbers can do as convincing voices or delivery of dialogue. Overall, I'd say they should either get people who can do realistic voices or leave it in Japanese with subtitles only. Anyone agree on that?
