>>80525the art was gorgeous, esp. if you saw it in theatres, but the story really pissed me off.
Ghibli is well-known for its strong female leads, who don't sit around waiting to be 'rescued'. Yet that's exactly what Kaguya did throughout the entire movie. Even the dramatic break-out scene was staged.
In the end, she doesn't grow or solve any of her problems by herself, she just runs away. I love it as a pioneering leap into experimental animation, but the themes & plot left me completely underwhelmed.
