Only Yesterday

Isao Takahata absolutely cooked with this movie this rly is the most grounded Ghibli film and just feels so raw and authentic. The family drama moments just feel so real. I love when ghibli does realistic movies cause they stand out so much in the best way

Okay listen, the movie was good and all but the main characters grown up design just freaked me out. It made me so uncomfortable to watch and sometimes I got kinda pissed cause she wouldn't stop talking about herself. Love the young version of her and her childhood flashbacks tho

after watching Ocean waves a while ago, this is a huge improvement. very similar to the story, but from the POV of a female and definitely does it better in my opinion.

Cute but nothing special. I really liked how real it was. Every scene looks like some everyday thing not movie exaggerated.
I liked the scenes of her childhood best.
The grownups smiles are lowkey oddly creepy.

Awkward and slow at first but it gets better and is the best by the end

capturing life moments.
calmness.
little things.
