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

Still, the animation is incredibly beautiful throughout, and the end left me sobbing. >"I wish for a normal life every day."

It is about Anna, a young girl that we learn has asthma and is feeling very alone. She is sent to relatives in the country to recuperate from severe sickne More

From the director Hiromasa Yonebayashi of 'The Secret World of Arriety' fame. Based on the 1967 English novel of the same name and so the important characters borrowed the western names. This is what I call a fine adaptation, great transformati More
