| Omoide Poroporo is a slow-paced coming of age film that boasts beautiful hand-drawn landscape scenes and comprises of an end that ties the movie together deftly. The story is portrayed in the lens of Taiko (present) and Taiko (age 10) in which the different perspectives contrast each other. Every character within the film is depicted very realistically (personality/development wise), and the primary characters are all well developed. The landscapes and animation quality is stunning, with some of the best Ghibli art to date.  Throughout the film, Takahata cleverly utilizes a softer and lighter color palette for the scenes of Taiko (age 10) and deeper/vivid colors for the present Taiko. This visual dissonance allows for a distinct atmospheric feel between the scenes of the two perspectives. One of the strongest aspects of the film was the moral dilemma Taiko faced in which she struggled with continuing to grasp onto her current and past aspirations while simultaneously recognizing her respective role in family. the narrative weaves together the two into a conclusive resolution. I definitely recommend this film for any anime movie connoisseurs! |

| Man, Ghibli movies are always beautiful. That single frame in particular, I'd hang that up on my wall. Not something that'd be typically up my alley but I'll be back to talk about it when the mood strikes me to give it a shot! |
| There's no Studio Ghibli movie I don't like. Personally, Only Yesterday showed that Studio Ghibli didn't need to rely on magical elements to engage an audience. Though the movie is no where near as recognized as many of Ghibli's other titles, I do think it is a very worthwhile watch for slice-of-life fans. siuol_sward said: One of the strongest aspects of the film was the moral dilemma Taiko faced in which she struggled with continuing to grasp onto her current and past aspirations while simultaneously recognizing her respective role in family. the narrative weaves together the two into a conclusive resolution. I like how you put this. The movie, rather than being straightforward, seems to let the audience make the emotional connections between Taiko's past memories, leading to a very satisfying conclusion. |
