I was living in Japan still when Ponyo came out and there was a lot of hype there, but it definitely came off as more of a children’s movie in the promos I saw there. That’s why it has has taken me so long to getting around to see it.

Still, it is good to see some real 2-D animation every once in awhile, as other than Pixar, I cannot bring myself to watch and CGI animation at all.

Even the sorcerer, he’s a character already “seen” in past productions…nothing new.

Kinda delusional, hype was way too bigger than what the movie actually is
