Come to think of it, I didn't watch Studio Ghibli properly after Spirited Away. I haven't seen Ponyo.
The PR method of not leaking any information and having no choice but to go to the theater has been successful.
While watching, this is from the animeebebみたいな実写がよかったんじゃないかなぁ、とか思ったり。

↑ This YouTube commentary is amazing. I see, there is a children's literature that it is based on.
And I thought that the animator is Shin Evangelion, and he's heading towards himself.
