A magical girl Ghibli movie directed by Miyazaki? Sign me up! I’ve been meaning to watch this one for years, and now that I’ve finally gotten around to it, I really wish that I had watched this one sooner. It’s such a heartwarming coming-of-age tale with beautiful Ghibli visuals, score, and feel-good moments that make you feel somewhat nostalgic. Definitely one of my new favorites by Miyazaki. My inner magical girl is very content 😊

Thank you to Letterboxd user VaibhavRM for recommending this film to me. <3
