Wolf Children · 1:46am Mar 13th, 2014
I'm not sure who reads these untagged blog posts, but I need to put this out here; Wolf Children (click to watch it). It's an amazing movie, quite a bit sad, but also very soul lifting. It's in the same ring as the works of Miyazaki in my mind. Even for people who aren't normally interested in anime, it's a great story.
Essentially, a were-wolf meets and falls in love with an ordinary city girl. They get married, and have two children. And then he dies. Trying to raise two wolf-children in the city was too difficult, so she moved to the countryside. It's a story about hard work, love, family, and finding your path in life. I found it inspirational, and I suggest anyone with any fondness for humanity, family, animals, or animation, should watch it.
And somehow it's already been ponified.
An unheard of (at least for me) animated film in the spirit of those made by the esteemed yet devastatingly retired Hayao Miyazaki?!
