Comments: Reviewed By: Kurama Schezar Storyline: 5/5:The story for this movie was very well done. It doesn't have a storyline that you'd regularly see in other anime. The storyline captivates you from beginning to end without straying or trying somethin new. Art Work: 5/5:This is where the movie truly shines. The beautiful artwork done on this movie is so detailed that it makes you want to keep watching. The artwork adds its own feeling to the movie that I feel it wouldn't have been the same without. Your feelings towards characters in this movie are amplified by the detail to the environment in which they interact. Music: 5/5:The music is also very well done. It pulls you into the movie without you noticing because the music just feels as if it should be there. Extra: This movie was long. I wouldn't have had it any other way. This movie has everything...and it mixes it all together flawlessly. There's action, adventure, comedy, a love story, and a fight for survival that is all kept alive with the great artwork, music, and great story. However, it's main theme, the fight between humans and nature, is most prominent and is shown through all of the above instances. All in all, another great movie by Miyazaki that no anime fan should dare to miss. Overall Score: 5/5 |
