Sublime. I've seen almost all of Studio Gibli's films and this was a prime example of what I've been missing in the past few years. While there was no real villain, or major conflict, the world itself was incredibly inviting, a heavenly city. Yet again you get a sense of Miyazaki's love of flying, in this case magic was used as opposed to planes used in Porco Rosso, yet another Gibli masterpiece. I was also greatly pleased with the physics and animation of how Kiki flew on her broom, where she would bounce of walls and use the top of a citadel to push off ... and fly.

I know this isn't necessarily the most highly regarded Gibli film, but it's just what I needed.
