    Seen in IMAX, subbed. Almost feel like I have to justify not giving this five stars. Something about the theming just seems so obvious and heavy-handed, and the movie just kinda ends something like two minutes after the climax with a good amount left unresolved.

    But otherwise, yeah: Miyazaki was spitting straight facts with this one and the animation is definitely god tier.

    This is a mess and a half in many ways and amazing in many others so splitting the difference at 5/10 seems correct.

    Something about late January 2025 makes it easy to get invested in a movie about coexisting and helping your fellow beings survive in times of crisis. Can't quite put my finger on it.

    Which three counties do you think that fascist book banning lady was referring to when she said Ray was "the biggest horse's ass in three counties"? Do you think she has a curated list of the biggest horse's ass in every county in Iowa?
