Do you like Ghibli movies? Do you love Ghiblis art style? Do you love Ghiblis characters? THEN DONT WATCH THIS MOVIE This movie is a series of short stories so there isnt one story I can talk about. Most of the short stories in this movie are incredibly boring like struggling to keep your eyes open boring. There are maybe one or two decent ones but for the most part the movie will be making you want to turn it off. If I didnt want to watch all the Ghibli movies all the way through except Extraordinary Tales I couldnt get through that one I would have turned this one off very quickly. The only part of this movie I genuinely like is the song at the end its a very fun song and the message behind it is good as well... but thats about all. Im a big fan of Ghiblis main art style but this one... I honestly hate. Its not nearly as bad as Extraordinary Taless animation but its still appalling. I dont like looking at it. You might be a fan of this art style and thats fine everyone has their own opinion on things but I personally hate it. Thats about all I can say about it. The voice acting was average nothing threw me off and nothing impressed me. There isnt much I can say about the sound of this movie so I guess Ill leave it at that. Now if you were to ask me which anime has the worst characters in it Id most likely choose this movie. Theyre awful people they never grow on me and they never really get any character development. I think I liked one character but I forgot who because the characters arent memorable. The only character thats memorable is the son but hes only memorable because hes the worst character in the movie. Hes a huge brat he complains all the time he does nothing but get angry. I truly hate him. The other characters are eh at best. Just... if you want to complete every Ghibli movie I guess watch it... but just know that its nothing special. And in my opinion its terrible in almost every way possible. I thought this movie might be a nice comfy enjoyable movie but I was SEVERELY disappointed. I almost died of boredom and there were many many many times when I almost just turned the movie off but I got through it. Im somewhat happy I did because I really like the ending song but honestly it wasnt all that worth it. I guess this was a somewhat short review but there isnt much to be said about this dreadful movie. I truly hate it and I will never rewatch it. Im sorry if one of you have seen it and liked it but in my opinion its one of the worst movies Ive ever seen. Im really not trying to offend or hurt the feelings of anyone I just need to get my point across over how much I hate it. If Extraordinary Tales was on this website I would give it an even worse review but its not so rip I guess.
