Just saw this on the Miyazaki month on TV. Terrific. A ten-day holiday to the country opens up old lost thoughts and feelings for a late 20-something office worker. If the emotions and issues in this anime are typical for a Japanese preteen, then our teens here in the US are more Japanese than they think!! One of those films to watch when you are feeling left alone and out of sorts. The characters are so close to you as to almost become real. The movie moves slowly, but isn't the least bit dull. The leisurely pace makes you want to sit with a cup of tea and just 'hang' with the movie. Terrific graphics, real characters, and fabulous countryside artwork. Work watching a few times -- I already have!
