Really enjoyed Arrietty and I've seen nothing but good reviews for this, so I'm looking forward to Oct 6!

Was this the last film before Ghibli went on a hiatus?

I don't know really anything about this film besides that brief blurb in the description there, but I've been pleasantly surprised with the last few films Ghibli has released, so I may just have to blind-buy this. After watching the trailer, it sure looks pretty interesting. I might as well give it a try.

Yeah, we're nervously waiting for news of their next film. Saw this one in theaters, and it's strong. Not amazeballs, but good. Similar to Whisper of the Heart or something.
