Only Yesterday (Omohide Poro Poro)

Another visually appealing Studio Ghibli flick which actually turned out to be my least favorite Studio Ghibli film, however, it is still a very good movie.

Animation on a Studio Ghibli movie? Always a 10, always. As usual, Studio Ghibli outdoes itself with barnone quality of animation.

The story is what I really didn't care for. It was about a women who reflected back on her childhood and also her present status. While very good, it really wasn't my cup of tea as I fell asleep half way through it. Come ready for a drama story, no action in this flick.

The music was also good, but not the best Studio Ghibli has done, in my humble opinion, I think it could have been better, but then again, I write the opinions, not the music.

Overall a good movie that you really have to be in a nostalgic mood for. If you are expecting action and comedy, you will be extremely disapointed.
