I really found myself interested in the first half of the movie. The unique situation and characters were very well thought out and created some very neat concepts. Then the resolution of everything just felt random and disorganized to me. It was still worthwhile to watch but probably not something I'll revisit later on.

Entertaining with Studio Ghibli vibes. I was really into the first half of the movie but lost some interest with the latter half. I have my issues with the "romance" and with more or less the entire last 20 minutes, but all right film overall. Worth re-watching, but I wouldn't go out of my way to do so. A low 7/10... *~SF16~*

I really enjoyed this little gem. It's like a mix of Spirited Away and The Cat Returns and Your Name! All great films in their own right, yet this still stands on its own. Lovely animation, character development, pacing is really good and story is very interesting.

Personally i'd rather re-watch The Cat Retruns, but this was interesting enough too.

Imagine if Jim Carrey's "The Mask" was more of a fantasy romance tale about a neurotic who wanted to fall in love with a specific someone, with a little taste of The Cat Returns in terms of trying More
