From Up on Poppy Hills is my favourite one. I wish Goro to continue creating the 2D animations. The world is filled with CGI and 3D animations and they sure are more vibrant colorful ones. However, 2D animations kind of give me peace. They are real art work being able to create emotions with just drawings and paintings, they feel more realistic and soothing. I wish 2D animations continue to create magic with those beautiful scenes and colors, the more human colors. They are magic and memorable. I can't count how many times I have watched this movie. No fantasy creature in it and yet it's a usual normal life story created so beautifully with beautiful songs in it too. It's my all time favourite Studio Ghibli movie with no fancy creatures, no magic and yet the movie has done magic on me whenever I watch it.

Ghibli Studio 2D movies are magic and no 3D movie can replace the charm, the soothing beautiful scenaries of these 2D animations. Even till date I prefer the 2D animations than the 3D animations. The drawings, the paintings are so humane, so artistics, so realistic; they give peace the soul. This one's an absolute favourite of mine, even before they had come in Netflix. I watched these movies way back in 2011-12 and since then I fell in love with the 2D animations. Even though they are just plain drawings, the artists bring the human emotions in the faces and body language, so well. It's amazing. I love the story of this one. Along with other movies of Studio Ghibli.

Finale episode felt bit rushed, I guess because they wanted to wrap up everything within 16 episodes. Everything was going great till the surgery. Many parts still felt rushed in places. Kim Soo-Hyun and Ji Won are just fabulous in acting. Other supporting actors did good support to the story flow. However, many sections could have been explored more like Eun-sung's entry and relationship with Hae-in in the past, and Da-hye. Only the past of Hyun-woo and Hae-in are explored. So the supporting characters just felt like fillers. Watching the lead characters is pure joy.
