I absolutely loved this , from the animation even to the tiniest detail everything was brought to life. I was flabbergasted at the imagery, effects and the time that must have gone into this production. As a person aspiring to become an aeronautical engineer it really spoke to me and warned me of events could rock an engineer's career like crashes or failed designs however the main character did not give up and neither will I.
All of studio ghibli's movies have been fantastic and I hope with his return from retirement the last and present movie he makes will stand up to and even surpass his movies standards, I am looking forward to seeing it, I recommend this movie to all japanese animation fans. It is truly amazing, watch it.
