boring and extremely sexist. maybe that says something about Japanese traditions but never occurred to me at other Ghibli films for some reason. considering Le Guin is a woman and an author of a book (left hand of the darkness) which consists of gender fluid people, i'm inclined to think this is why this film didn't do well with both being progressive in that sense, staying true to the soul of the story and still traditionally Japanese. this is all speculation though.

Very good quality fantasy, but it left quite some unanswered questions in me. Just to mention one without spoiling anything, I am not sure about the true nature of a main character, even after watching through the movie. Nonetheless, I say it's a must watch for all traditional fantasy fans. There is magic here which is rare to find, and would be a shame to miss it.

I don't know why they choose to make a salad of the books. I've read the first three so far, and I can see there's elements that don't belong to that story. It lost the unity, in my opinion. Made a more surreal plot, but also weaker. (And I can't understand why they gave the boy that dreaded anime personality with a hidden wild laughing side.) Weak for a Ghibli movie, even though I enjoyed it.

This film leaves so much unexplained, not tied up, and when it does try to explain, things make no sense. It feels like a waste of my time. The art is both pretty and lazy- lack of details when things are far away is not an art style. Watercolor impressionism doesn't mesh well with things.

Nice animation, and it started out with intriguing cities and world building, but then things stopped happening, the settings turned dreary to look at, and the plot turned weak. I remembered why I fell asleep the first time I tried watching it.

The animation and design are absolutely gorgeous. The colourful town in the ruins, the dragons shedding sparks, the sunrise behind the heroine—every moment is rich in beauty. Much in the film feels simple—the morality (popularly criticized by the author of the source material), the world and its mechanics, and the relationships—but there is loveliness in its lack of complication: for me, it was effective. A soft and delightful film.

I didnt read the real story or aint have a solid idea about this fantastic-verse. But this movie is a lackluster. Its not engaging, its floating around w/o touching anything, it aint fills any emptyness in the plot. Its not terrible or bad, But for ghibli standarts its kinda bottom entry. And for general animated story telling its not great at that part either. Its enjoyable but ı wouldnt try to gain specific time to watch this. Like ı do for other ghibli works.

A huge disappointment, just Goro trying to copy his fathers style and just bastardizing a book. Goro's next movie is much better and feels more his own (Up on Poppy Hill), go watch that instead.

The pacing is definitely off, but I don't see eye with criticism I've read. The visual world building relative to other Ghibli favorites isn't developed as much because the focus is the psychological landscape. The film somehow delivers both soft endearing moments of beauty and dark shades of the soul while navigating an inner struggle over nihilism.

During the first half of the movie I was wondering why this one has such a bad reputation, as it opens intriguingly, has good music and really pretty background drawings in the city they first come to. But eventually it introduces some pretty weak villains and loses steam overall. The conclusion relies on character backstory and magical concepts that are only poorly explained if at all.
