When I started watching this movie a couple of weeks ago, I kept trying to remember if I'd seen it before. Elements seemed familiar, like the thing with the library books, but could they be familiar from a *different* movie?
I never figured it out. This coming-of-age romance just drifted along, not especially interesting, not especially not, always seeming *maybe* familiar.
I watched about two-thirds, was never especially interested, and then stopped. And I still don't know if I'd seen it before. But I can say that much of it has already faded from my mind.
I can see I'm an outlier here. People *love* this movie. But I think the main contribution this film made to the history of Studio Ghibli was as an inspiration for the -sort-of-a-sequel-but-not-really The Cat Returns, which is one of the few really good non-Miyazaki Ghibli films.
As for Whisper of the Heart, it's perfectly watchable and that's pretty much it.
