As a huge fan of the first movie, I was admitedly quite skeptical of how the sequel would go. That being said, I couldn’t have been more pleased with it. It kept the weight and atmosphere of the first movie as if it had come out only a couple of years rather than over 20 years ago. While I don’t think that the same emotional weight was present due to the difference in the stories, I still think it holds up exceptionally well as a fantastic sequel. (And if for some reason they made a third I would absolutely still go watch it.)

Absolutely loved it. Was it a perfect movie? Of course not. But it was fun and magical and I had a blast watching it, especially following Crimes of Grindlewald. Definitely looking forward to watching it again in the future for some magical shenanigans!

This movie was STUNNING. I had high expectations, but I certainly enjoyed it even more than I anticipated. The music is absolutely beautiful, and the songs are great both in the original Japanese and in the English dub. It’s really interesting to see different styles of animation as well, it really helps bring this movie to life. I can certainly see myself rewatching this many times in the future!
