[Haggis]

I didn't think the film was that bad. The problem is people are simply comparing it to the rest of Studio Ghibli's catalogue. If it was released by a different studio I bet the review scores would be a lot higher.

The animation was better than most anime out there, and you really came to like the characters and care about what happened to them. Plot wise I found the first half a little slow but the last half was excellent. Worth seeing I'd say (as long as you don't mind slow paced films anyway). Would I watch it again? Not sure.
