Very interesting take. I loved the film, maybe because I didn’t try to compare it to other Ghibli films, I just enjoyed it for what it was and what tried to be. But I can understand that because of the film’s specificity, it’s very hit or miss.
This was an interesting take that I just came across. I think it's mostly fair, either the style and humour works for you, or falls flat.
