Kaze o mita šónen

I actually do not know how this movie got on my list to watch, although, in the end, I do not regret it. The narrative is pretty sophisticated and is profound and helps you understand the world it is set in. I found myself entertained for about three-quarters of the movie, curious to see what would happen next, and I liked the military machines that the movie's main male protagonist fights against. The main bad guy seemed dangerous enough, the main couple was quite endearing, and the movie had moments with a decent atmosphere (whether happy, magical, sad, or even depressing). However, what spoiled my impression was the conclusion. I do not know why, but somehow I did not enjoy it at all. It felt a bit silly at times, and when it came to Branik's backstory, I had no emotional response; it did not move me. Instead, it felt entirely out of place. I quite liked the soundtrack; however, the animation was nothing to write home about. 6/10. (15.08.2017)
