| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Another festival, another Madhouse movie. This time it's the theatrical version of the tv show from spring season called Okko's Inn. The beginning made me think it would get alot of drama but nope. Okko was strong-minded throughout the movie and kept her head up, even when she knew how the accident happened. While working at the inn she met 3 of my favorite characters, the two ghosts Uribou & Miyo and the devil Suzuki. With their shenanigans they made this movie more enjoyable to watch. 7/10 |

e_hoba said: This film is another hidden gem. It already trended in Japanese anime community and critically well-received. It is not just a good juvenile but a great depiction of death/rebirth, healing, and maybe a religious perspective. Definitely worth-watching. it won best movie of some random award wtf |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |
| BD release: 29th of March =) |

Maybe she'd have more fun reading something by an anthropologist like David Graeber instead. Or by one of the many economists who're not oversold on tech development. Guy Standing is neat! Not trying to dismiss Harari too much but yeah. :D edit: fixed link |

| This movie is so underrated. I wasn't expecting much going in, but ended up getting blown away. 9/10 |
 |
| I thought it was really quite good. |

| This was much more feel heavy than the TV series was, my God. The part with the driver who was responsible for the car accident got me, like i was not expecting something like that at all in this. And this movie made me like the fortune teller girl even more, such a great person. 7/10. |
 |
| I think the director of this movie really showed how great he was. It is rare that anime gets directing as good as it was here. He made the comedy not annoying. The sad moments were not overdone. The animation was excellent. I hope this really gets more attention at some point. |
 |
| Oh yeah. This was SO MUCH better than the series by a long shot. I liked the TV show, but it was rather generic, had subplots that dragged it down, and played things too safe. This movie pretty much fixes every single flaw the TV show had and then some! I'm so glad I saw this! This is what the show should have been like! |
| Why is this movie anime not very popular.I love it and it feels like a Miyazaki movie... |
| It was worth the anticipation, lovely movie. |
|
| Okay WTF that was amazing! I just decided to watch it on a whim as I saw it when sorting by new! Okko is a gem of a character and the whole movie is a gem! Uribou and Miyou along with the demon are adorable. The town this was set in seemed so chill and cozy which was only complimented by simple yet beautiful visuals. But I did not expect to choke up near the end of the movie with the way Okko resolved her parent's death. First, when I heard that he was the driver and Okko started crying I was close to crying and then again when she told him and his family to stay. One of the most beautiful and genuine scenes I've seen in the medium as a whole. I'm unsure if I should give this an 8 or 9 but I'll give it an 8 because some things were left a bit unexplored. Like why the ghosts stay on earth and why it was decided that they would move on, on the day of the festival. Also, Matsuki was nice for a couple of minutes of the film but she was still very rude toward Okko during the whole film so I couldn't sympathize with her. Suriyo was an amazing friend! 8/10 but as close as you can get to a 9/10 |
 |
| You know I think Uribou is going to be Okko son and Miyo is going to be Matsuki daughter ^^ |
| I like to post in manga forum when I feel it is worth it, so people think. "Shit, is her again" or something. People asked me where I read certain thing but the rules say no telling where did you read so maybe I am too boring for not saying? Or salty because you didn't check my profile that says don't ask because I hate people to ghost me after that. I love learning languages so maybe I did not read the manga in English. |
| It was truly a beautiful movie! It is not that often that one feels so much sympathy for all of the characters in a story but this one was surely one of those stories! Each character was so human, I absolutely enjoyed it. |
   |
| It's a Ghibli movie pretty much. I liked it a lot. |
Madigan Kacmar (actress Erica Schroeder's daughter, interestingly) Wait, what? Where'd you hear this? Do you have anything to confirm this? |
| I already feel that her parents will meet an accident, too cliche. Parents in anime are always dead or absent. Okko is very strong little girl, I feel sad for her. Guests in inn is very spoiled lol great customer service! Good show and cutie show, but feels lacking. No proper ending for the ghosts. |
 |
| This movie is great. Near the ending got me teary eyed. Wasn’t expecting much... but wow glad I finished it. |
 |
| Liked it but it was different than what I expected actually. Still a nice watch. |
 |
| Okko's attitude is really admirable. A story of grief and loss and family love told in a charming way. The overall feeling of the town, townsfolk, and guests is really heartwarming. Everyone is so kind, even Matsuki in the end. |
| Coming from seeing the series beforehand, I found the film to be a pretty good for the updating of visuals & presentation, but found the streamlining of the narrative in some places and the ending for the ghosts to be a bit annoying. The expansion of the passing of her parents was a welcome addition to the narrative, but the trimming/reduction of some of the characters in the story and the Deus ex Machina introduced regarding her ghost friends disappearing at the end was disappointing, I liked the open ending the series had a lot better, it was far more upbeat. They could’ve had her accepting the painful memories of her parents passing away and had the ghosts stay, it seemed like a downer they ‘had to go’ definitely preferred their ending in the series a lot more. |
 |
| Story and visual wise, a pretty solid movie for time pass. Writing quality isn't high and some parts of the story don't feel very smooth and coherent though. BUT HOLY ****!!!! Why on earth did they destroy the main character's face? I was facepalming like the entire time because of that. They probably even hinted how she could've looked in the end credit visuals. Did an independent character designer worked here or what exactly? She feels like she's from a different anime! Her artstyle is totally detached from everything else. Without the chara design blunder, 7.5/10 With the blunder, 6/10. |

| Does Anybody know the title of the track from the scene in the middle of the movie? |
 |
| This was beautifully done. It gave grief a soft and gentle landing. Although the concepts were heavy and difficult, it was made with tact and offered warmth through hardship without cliche. What a great film. |
| This was a nice and emotional movie. The ending was a little sad when Uribo and Miyo disappeared. :( Poor Okko. I feel sorry for her, but I know she'll be fine. She's not alone. |
 |
| This was a great movie. I became rather emotional, especially at the end. |
 |
| That was pretty enjoyable at the end. Surprising to find on Netflix |
| Never seen the series but this was a wonderful movie! Really made me smile and misty-eyed at times, especially that 1st dream after the accident with Okko sneaking into her parents' bed :'( Solid 9/10, you could've fooled me and said it was a Ghibli movie. Like others, I was disappointed and confused by the lack of information of certain things: - how Uribo saved Okko (he said she died, so did he revive her?) - why they had to "move on" at specifically at the festival (Uribo's been around forever, and Miyo over a decade). It would've better if they just said that Okko would lose the ability to see them on her 13th birthday or something. I was also hoping for a time-jump at the end and seeing adult Okko running the place. They could've added that to the montage in the credits. |

| I was finally able to watch this movie. I mean, while watching the TV anime they kept showing like a teaser PV for it, so I always told myself I'd watch it eventually. Mn... let me just say, there were a whole bunch of sniffles going down in the place I watched this in. I was in a room with many people. I do like what they explored in the movie here but uh... I think there are things that felt a little off? Like, with the TV anime it was a little more easy to deal with the death part because a lot of it was put aside so that the focus could be put on Okko getting stronger. I actually did like how Okko progressed in the movie here, yet there's just something odd about it. I feel like if they had placed this aspect in the TV anime then it would have made it a lot stronger. Meanwhile, the movie kinda makes things feel a little odd too. Like... Suzuki is a bit of an odd entity if you really watch the film while keeping a sharp eye on them. Like... alright you bring in troublesome guests, but it just seemed kinda hard to piece this character into the story well enough to warrant them being there. Like Suzuki really didn't do much, and maybe a part of that comes from the film being limited on time. Yet at the same time, Miyo just...?? Like in the movie, first she's mean, but then, only after our aesthetic animation chase, she's suddenly alright with them. Not only that but she became a pillar of support for Okko as well, but it's like... why...? I feel like the TV anime did a little more with that. Still, I felt the film did well enough exploring Okko's journey. We received a lot of accepting all for who they are/understanding each other's strengths and weaknesses. A nice, big focus on how everyone deals with their situations differently. And really, there's a bit of an undertone of... "well, this happened. How you deal with it is what shapes you as a person. Yet you can continue to shape yourself if you'd like". And you know, Okko's way of dealing with things was actually a bit sad, but I appreciated that the film showed that while she's trying to be strong she's actually keeping herself up with a bit of a deluded thought process. She actually hasn't fully accepted her situation. Yet whenever she has to come face to face with reality or is reminded of it, she feels the need to run/panics. And having her realize that running away might even hurt her further was an interesting choice to me. I'm actually okay with the conclusion she came to. I do really miss some of the other stuff from the TV anime though. If only they could have combined the two. Probably would have worked if the TV anime wasn't an anime short, but hey. |
| It's nice but it feels really rushed compared to the tv series |
