On the second watch is when I started bawling my eyes out of all the anime films I've seen so far, this one hits me the hardest in the feels, yup more so than "Spirited Away", no dis-respect to that film at all, but this one the drama and the supernatural mystery that weaves into it is just so damn good.

Especially after a certain silo scene where everything seems like it hits the "darkest hour" trope, only for a little light to be shined in, and then when the whole backstory was truly revealed, honestly I went along with it, true there is a bait and switch thing that everybody is gonna think about when they watch this film. But it's oh so tragic yet so understandable and the character drama is so rich and brilliantly written with such heartfelt emotion; gosh I just can't believe how good it is.

This movie was perfect and amazingly beautiful in all sections, from the story to the visuals and the characters. At many times it was sad but in a good way. The ending was unexpected and the story distinguishes itself from anything else that I have seen in my life. It is my favorite movie of all time. It was the first anime feature film I had ever seen and it makes me want to start watching more anime.

Studio Ghibli has a way of making you grow fond of a place or a house. The end was unexpected but it was heartwarming !

A gripping tale from beginning to end. I was wondering where they were going with it all, but everything fell into place at the end. And I was pretty glued to watching the movie.
