Viewing Notes

From the first imagery I was highly anticipating the next Miyazaki film. Went over to CineArt and I believe this was in its original Japanese language (would later watch again with Ron and Pat but dubbed). I think the initial release was limited and therefore subtitled. I like the film but not one of Miyazaki’s best. But his worst is still better than 90% of other director’s best.
