Another good film from Ghibli, that fits in the line of "Whispers of the Heart" and "Only yesterday". I hope it will get an official release in Europe (with English subs) soon. It is an omission in the catalogue.
Worst Studio Ghibli movie so far (IMHO). Breaks the adagium "Show, don't tell" frequently. It could have been a better movie, if they had resequenced the story line.
Not worth to be called animation, due to the lack of it. The story is set up as an hard boiled detective story, but unfortunately the story teller reveals all, instead of the viewer been shown what the mystery was all about. The use of gore violence in this does not contributes anything to the story.
