I don't really know if I can add anything to the many great reviews already made, but I still felt the need to add my own opinion, so here goes; It is a stunning yet serene and thoroughly memorable movie, and much like many Ghibli movies of the past it touched me quite deeply. The animation is (as expected) a far cry from the usual computer animated 'junk' we see in newer anime, and the music makes me want to instantly order the soundtrack. Regarding the story, it is not very fast-paced or overly dramatic. Rather, it is relaxing or even peaceful while still managing to become almost mysteriously involving. By the end of it I even got a little teary-eyed as I wished it could have 'lingered' a bit longer.
All in all it is certainly a moment in time well worth losing oneself in!
