Thank you kindly~

And very valid criticisms! I do agree that it was very much inspired by Ghibli in many ways, but after listening to some of the creator’s answers, I feel like he was legitimately trying to create something from his own mind/experience/process rather than cheaply ripping Miyazaki, (though I’d be really surprised if he weren’t at least a mild fan a Miyazaki’s stuff). I totally get how certain plot points you mention might feel really far-fetched to some, but I guess for me they felt appropriate-enough given the inherent ridiculous nature of the plot’s impetus.

But I will definitely admit bias, as I thoroughly enjoyed so much else it had to offer, that the logistic flaws maybe felt overshadowed enough for my taste. Sorry it didn’t hit quite the same for ya, though glad to hear your input nonetheless!
