Nostalgia is usually emanated within happiness, filled with a yearning to return and relive a time so dear to oneself. It is typically instilled with a mentality full of positive feelings and Nobuhiko Obayashi certainly is no stranger to this, often filming past time periods in a manner that reflects childhood impulses alongside an overall fascination with the world that is shaped by a youthful consciousness.
