it's absolutely worth it, especially if you bother to read into the subtext and themes beyond "environmentalism". A lot of people just stop with that, but there's so much more to get out of the film

Tbh it's an alright ghibli film but I never really saw the hype around it. I didn't feel anything after watching it which is normally the case for most ghibli films, great animation and music but the stories are always so lackluster. the story in this film is a par above most ghibli films but it still felt like wasted potential imo. it felt like I watching the Japanese version of the Jungle Book without the bare necessities

I agree with the minimalistic approach to story telling but some do hit the note they were Intending

Princess Mononoke to me felt generic and had a revisited theme.

Among my favorites of the Ghiblis are:

-Castle in the sky
-Whisper of the heart
-My neighbors the Yamadas

Note: I am watching the Ghibli movies according to their time of release these are my latest favorites.

Also there’s a cool scene where billy crudup’s character shoots an arrow at a samurai. And his fucking head pops off…it’s sick as fuck. Definitely worth a watch.

It’s pretty good, not my favourite Ghibli animation but it’s definitely a well produced narrative. My personal favourites from Ghibli are My Neighbour Totoro & Nausicaa, but Monoke was a good anime production by comparison still.

If you like Ghibli definitely, I had put watching it off until a few months ago but after my first watch I watched it another 2 times within a 3 day span.

Such an enjoyable story with good characters.

If you have time for being interested enough to ask if it's worth a watch, if it's a movie, yes. If you realize you aren't liking it or it isn't for you, you can stop.

It is thematically more intense and angry than Hiyazaki's other works
More violent and disturbing than his other works
Very memorable cast of characters, though the most interesting are the antagonists, if you can call them that.
Stunning background visuals and animation though not peak
Hopeful ending
interesting world and lore
stacked VA cast in English

MCs can feel flat, though they have interesting parts
Is more sad in tone, so it can be a downer at times
Some questions that come up aren't answered in a straightforward way, which can make some parts unsatisfying or more contemplative
More subjective, but it somehow seemed incomplete to me

Imo it is worth it. Maybe not really the hype, definitely not my favorite Ghibli movie, but also not the worst. I liked the visual part and the story wasn't bad either. Slightly above the average.

It's a movie, just watch it. If it really bothers you if you end up wasting 90 mins of your life, then find a different hobby other than watching anime.

@Pillsbury_Uchiha


I disagree with that statement because the values that stem from it are exceptional. While it does feature old-style anime art, the plot is its strong suit and I appreciate the hand-drawn art. It offers a fantastic adventure that aligns with the themes commonly found in Studio Ghibli productions. It's quite random, which adds to its charm.

@vinnywizanime I hold a contrary opinion on this matter because it boasts remarkable values. Although it embraces a vintage anime art style, its narrative strength shines through, and I have a fondness for the hand-drawn artwork. It delivers an exceptional adventure that remains in sync with the familiar themes of Studio Ghibli, all while maintaining an enjoyable element of randomness.

Worth what?

Watching one of the most critically acclaimed Movies, made by a team of genius Industry Legends, probably before you even had job, all so you can now steal and judge it for free, pondering if it was worth your (very) scarce freetime? Uhmmmm......yeah...probably a pretty good Movie to watch and totally worth your time, I'd say.

As long as you have not any prejudice against anime, you will certainly love it. Totally recommend this movie and many others from studio Ghibli (Howl's moving castle, spirited away, a grave of fireflies, etc.)
