The animation, colouring and art are all superb, and the music is catchy, haunting and moving by turns. Essentially an urban story, the viewer will notice that the majority of characters look more like real Japanese people, instead of the bland, big-eyed homogeneous humans with essentially Western features that populate many anime films. Having seen the Japanese-with-English-subs several times, I was eager to buy it on DVD. However I was surprised that in the English dub, the film starts with a long English recital explaining the backstory of Ume's family. Why was this considered necessary? I'm no Einstein, but I was able to figure the relationships out as we went along without that, even when reading subtitles. Does the distributor really believe that the English-speaking audience is too slow on the uptake to understand what they're seeing? Also, the English subtitles available are the ones that go with the original Japanese script; however the English dub changes and adds many lines, so that a person who wishes to use the subtitles to aid poor hearing will be confused. If they are going to mess around with the script to that extent, they should provide better subtitling for the English version, as they did when Totoro was released on disc. Looks like the English translating/dubbing team got lazy.Many of the traditional Ghibli motifs are present (physically or emotionally absent parents, the adolescent girl who has to take on heavy responsibility to keep the home functioning, life-changing events involving losses of many kinds) but there is none of the fantasy-magical element many might automatically expect. Instead, the coming of age story is worked out in more realistic ways. Umi's quest to find closure for her father's disappearance during Japan's war with Korea is paralleled in the students' struggle to preserve their beloved clubhouse, Shun's quest for the truth about his own past, and the search on the part of several characters for many kinds of love: parental, romantic, even peer-group approval. Set against the backdrop of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, the "voyage of discovery" takes place on the "sea inside" each human life and heart. What they find there creates a very real kind of magic. I watched the credits, as often the "final scenes" of Ghibli's films are played out in stills (as in the case of Totoro, or Kiki's Delivery Service). While we aren't given all the answers in a nice, neat package, I felt that I knew what the future held for these people, and it was good.If only the subtitles had been up to standard with the content of the film, I would have given 5 stars. As a professional translator myself, I can only offer 4. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another brilliant Miyazaki *by D***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 1 August 2022* The first one I've seen that is based in fact rather than fantasy which for me gave it an extra edge over the others. Well worth watching not least for the animation. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ If there ever was an anime film for adults *by D***0 on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 10 October 2013* My review aims to help parents, or people who will buy this film to watch with a child. (I think it's more useful writing a review with a specific purpose rather than drivel about everything and nothing.)The reviewer before me sounds as if they enjoyed the film more than the 8-year old they watched it with. Does not amaze me at all. I cannot imagine a child actually enjoying a film/story populated by characters - school kids - who recite Plato and in their free time fight against governmental oppression. That would be the ideal world, but this film really targets 15-year old plus audiences. Studio Ghibli films work as character-building tools, because unlike Pixar films they don't encourage kids to scream and throw fits (children will often mimic the behavior of their favorite screen characters, so if that is anyone from Toy Story, good luck to you). However having watched Kiki's Delivery Service on Blu-Ray recently - a masterpiece that absolutely anyone will enjoy - i cannot score this higher than 4.
