I might have to pick this up - heard a lot about it but never seen it. Isn't it meant to be one of the saddest films of all time?

It's a great film but don't think I could bring myself to watch through it again

. It's nothing like any of the other Ghibli movies i.e it's not set in a fantastical world with no talking creatures, so brace youself for land of no whimsy.

This is my favourite Ghibli movie. I'll be buying this, no question.

Watched this for the first time last night. It broke my heart. I seriously can't get over what happened. I was seriously upset by it but at the same time I loved it a lot and will definitely fork out £60 for the Japanese edition as well as buying the UK edition when it comes out and yes, even the US one too whenever that might be.

Could make a stone cry, or a robot for that matter.

It is pretty heartbreaking, wouldn't recommend this one for kids.
