Me too ：）

I've posted the reason in another thread. The middle part of the movie is really weak and kinda gets you off. It felt unnecessary. Then it jumps to the final and out of nowhere an antagonist is being presented. It felt like a rushed ending.  The first half of the movie was great, but it seems they ran out of ideas of what to actually do with the characters. Or rather... the author had a beginning and an end already written down, but lacked good and solid ideas how to connect those two.

Wolf Children was pretty solid and entertaining through the whole movie, but the end was kind of a "jumping the shark" scenario. There was a built up to the storm and when it was over, it was nothing, at all. I fully understand the decision the children made in the end, but... I don't know.. i kinda wanted more...

I'm really interested in seeing Kimi no Na wa. I guess the main reason is, it jumped to first place on myanimelist.net on the top anime list.

Both are good, but for me they don't reach the levels of Mononoke or Laputa, and maybe Nausicaa.

I will have to check out "Your Name", seen a few of you mentioning it.

:) And your avatar is beautiful ! The girl... from which anime is she ? = )

ah okay i understand : ) And Kimi no Na wa / your name - i have interest too.

Mononoke is my favorite of all time :) Your Name is on my watchlist. I hope, the sales figures are good later in the west (and japan) :)

It's an oc from pixiv apparently.

oh okay, thanks for the answer and have a great weekend :)
