Personally I loved it, my first impression when it started was wow this movie has amazing graphics and yes it did go slow at first but it is sooo worth it, it was a beautiful movie and I’m satisfied with it being the last of its time. The heron was really scary though I didn’t like that much but Mahito was such a great main character and the whole plot is all up to interpretation. I left the movies in awe, I was amazed especially when the heron said all that to Mahito at the end? The story was beautiful and so were the graphics. I get how this is different from howls moving castle or ponyo but maybe that’s a good thing.
