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.

It was nice to watch but nothing special, nothing as good at anything made by Miyzaki in the past.

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
