This movie is good but SOOOOOOOOOO weird
isn't that just ghibli lmao
duggy and i are watching today

Im so excited
Its weird in a different way. I cant explain it well lol. Its good though
My thoughts exactly
This felt like a tribute to previous movies tbh, like maybe I’m overthinking it but I still feel like there were some suttle references
Overall it was a nice movie, was a little too slow at times and plot was super confusing with nothing really explained but the animation is
as always
And the Danny Devito bird knocking the birds out was fucking hilarious
i agree with everything you said duggy lol pretty much my exact thoughts
i watched it dubbed and none of the va clicked until i saw the credits
i had no idea gemma chan and florence pugh were in it
I clocked Bautista as soon as he had like his third line
oh yeah he was the only one i recognized but couldn’t figure out who it was
Everyone else did a great Job
I only saw the dub trailer but if you gave me a million guesses id never say it was Robert Pattinson lol
I have had people disagree with me but i assumed the old guy was a self insert and him building the blocks was Miyazaki building the studio and the king fucking it up was how he sees the studios direction, but idk
https://www.indiewire.com/features/interviews/boy-and-the-heron-english-dub-robert-pattinson-florence-pugh-1234932812/ This article makes so more sense about Pattinson after watching the movie.
Amazing
I kinda saw it as greed where he wants to keep everything balanced but then the king comes in and fucks shit up
Beginning was SLOW. I don’t blame her.
You can play binding of Isaac on an ipad?
The one thing I appreciate about Ghibli movies is that nothing can happen and it’s just them doing basic tasks and asmr for like 3-5 mins and you’re invested the entire time
This was a little too slow imo
The beginning was my favorite part, the ocean world was where I was getting antsy
But then pelican scene was heartbreaking
I wished it kept the original title, it makes more sense
Best dub I’ve ever seen
The dub was very good
I gotta see the dub now. I wanted to go again so perfect excuse
So the parakeet king is Goro Miyazaki right? 
Omg
I said that to my friends the second we left the theater and they lost their shit. Because it’s true!
This is one of those movies where I gotta read people smarter than me analyze it but I picked up on the self insert
One thing you miss if you don’t see the dub is the parakeet cameos
i'm gonna be very curious about how people who aren't massive ghibli fans feel about this one because this movie is very specifically a metatextual reflection from miyazaki on his career and legacy
I think the narrative as an individual movie gets muddled by the meta stuff unfortunately
It’s much more art house than the other ghibli movies I’ve watched
i love metatextual anime movies like this
this is to miyazaki what the evangelion rebuilds were to anno
which is ironic since the two of them have collaborated so much
anno starred in the wind rises which was the last very specific metatextual reflection from miyazaki on his career and legacy and went "i wanna do this too" and then miyazaki had to have the last laugh
now there's talk of miyazaki actually having another movie in him
gee, i wonder if it's gonna be a metatextual reflection on his career and legacy
i'll be here for it though
Hi
Now the difference between this and The Wind Rises is one of them is a good movie
Ye the movie felt like a tribute/ legacy
The wind rises was depressing as shit
I got a little worried that this one was going to be as depressing and it is somber but not as depressing
Wind rises bored me
hearing ||dan stevens and tony revolori and wade from elemental|| cameo as parakeets in the dub was peak
i forgot that i read a few days ago they were in it even though im pretty sure i posted about it here

Feel about the same I did the first time on rewatch
Solid A tier Ghibli but not peak Ghibli
I am obsessed with how Pattinson says IM BACK TO MY GORGEOUS AND POWERFUL SELF
watched the sub Tuesday night and then I found out I should've watched it in dub, which I'm going to do next week I hope
The dub is very good, if only for Christian Bale’s gruff daddy’s gonna help you get vengeance
Him and Dave Bautista both wanted to put themselves out as much as possible with the little time they had.
the warawara are my friends 🙂
one of my coworkers was trying to give me shit for seeing a dubbed anime last night "i'm only gonna give this one a pass because it has robert pattinson and luke skywalker in it" and inside i'm like well you're 16 you don't know shit
16? Argument invalid
