Incredibly engaging...

Rating: 10/10 (18 November 2017)

A visually breathtaking and emotionally resilient slice of life with a twist of fantasy, complex characterization, and a mesmeric soundtrack. Incredibly engaging, it drove me to tears. It's up there with Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke as one of the greatest anime films, at least in my opinion. It's beyond me how the Oscars overlooked this masterpiece.
