Although Jirou Horikoshi's nearsightedness prevents him from ever becoming a pilot, he leaves his hometown to study aeronautical engineering at Tokyo Imperial University for one simple purpose: to design and build planes just like his hero, Italian aircraft pioneer Giovanni Battista Caproni. His arrival in the capital coincides with the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, during which he saves a maid serving the family of a young girl named Naoko Satomi; this disastrous event marks the beginning of over two decades of social unrest and malaise leading up to Japan's eventual surrender in World War II.

So when Miyazaki and Takahata were to make a double feature (that ended up never happening since Tale of the Princess Kaguya was delayed), they did the reverse of Grave of the Fireflies/My Neighb…

Read full review on AniList →This is not a critique in any sense. The current exposition is merely the general thoughts that crossed my mind when watching the film, don’t expect a thorough, technical analysis of the subject.

Read full review on AniList →~~~I can't exactly explain why I love this film because it's more then just an animated work by japan. It symbolizes so much more then that.

Read full review on AniList →The Wind Rises is about cursed dreams and the kind of people who choose to pursue them Jiro Horikoshi is a dreamer. We see that from the first scene of the film. His dreams are very wonderful, fantasy-laden, and benevolent. All he wants to do is design planes. He studies plane engineering all his l…

[The Wind Rises](https://anilist.co/anime/16662/The-Wind-Rises/) is a movie about a fictional autobiography about a real life aviation engineer that designed War War 2 fighter planes for the Japanese Empire during that time. I have no idea how closely this align…
Read full review on AniList →Okay, so I'll be honest, I came into this one expecting something like Spirited Away or Totoro, you know, that kind of cozy magical Ghibli energy. What I got instead was completely different, and I think that's exactly why it hit so hard. The movie follows Jiro Horikoshi, a real person, by the way,…

Not to say that I wasn't interested in Studio Ghibli in the first place their track record for amazing films is well established. Th…
