Mamoru Hosoda strikes again. In my opinion, this is his best overall work surpassing The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Summer Wars. As Miyazaki and Ghibli seem to be slowing down a bit, Mamoru Hosoda is ready to take the torch. The concept of wolf children growing up in our world is something that I've never seen, but the themes of acceptance, finding your own path in live, and, of course, a mother's love are what truly hold and elevate this movie. The duality in the development of Yuki and Ame and where they want to end up in this world are the highlights of the film. I can't wait for the dub to be released. Go watch this ASAP.

ALONE AND CONTENT? ALONE AND CONTENT??? how the fuck a "happy" ending can be so fucking gutting? i know it's a metaphor for staying true to your nature, but shit, that mum gave up best years of her life for those damn kids and they abandoned her, and she ended up all fucking alone. i don't care how much she smiles, and that there's a warm melody playing in the background, that was pretty fucked up.

Wolf Children - 9/10

I'm so glad I took the time to watch this. What a beautiful, marvelous film. From the moment it began I knew I was in for an emotional ride, and admittedly I thought I'd be a wreck by the end, but I wasn't. I don't think this is a sad movie, nor do I think that More

Wolf children. This movie is not notable at all. It's actually kinda stupid. It was cool to see that the wolf man the woman had some heavily implied sexual intercourse.

If I was really into anime, I'm sure that I would really like this movie. There was WAY too much of an expectation that More

I really enjoyed the film and it was really nicely animated. It was sad and brought a tear to my eye like most of the films by Ghibli and those related to it. It also threw a twist in the roles played by people out in the countryside as the mother is on her own looking after her children and not onc More

The movie is beautifully animated and an emotional Rollercoaster ride.
Topped only by the excellent Soundtrack by Takagi Masakatsu.
