I Just Don't Get It

Rating: 5/10 (12 June 2015)

When two girls move to the country to be near their ailing mother, they have adventures with the wondrous forest spirits who live nearby.
At this point, I think I have seen all the major anime films, from this one to "Spirited Away" to "Princess Mononoke". And I just do not get the appeal. The stories are sort of interesting with that fantasy element that is unique to the Japanese. But the animation is pretty weak, and it seems even sillier once you add the dubbing. (Of course subtitles would fix this, but nothing can fix the silly animation.) Some day it will make sense to me maybe... then again, probably not. But I probably never have to see any anime again so long as I live, as I have now checked them all off the IMDb 250.
