I tend to agree with your thoughts about Wolf Children, and while I am also not a big fan of the overall message of the film I still think it is a fine movie to watch for adults and for children. At least of one time

I'd love to know what you guys criticisms of Wolf's Rain are? It seems that most anime fans have nothing negative to say about it. Like you two, I found it quite average.
I don't know if I found it emo exactly. My main problem with it was the characters. The wolf boys were just so generic and one dimensional. The human characters didn’t seem to serve any purpose in the plot at all. I’ll admit the ending is strong but the rest of it is just so meh.
Thank you for the excellent and insightful reviews. I really appreciate how you approached the works from an angle that has not been well covered elsewhere.
I really don't want to come off sounding like 'that person from the internet' but I thought that it's important to highlight the other works that Hosoda has directed.
He's done two shorter movies: Digimon: Our War Game and Digimon Adventure: Born of Koromon. He was also the director for the feature length film One Piece: Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island which might actually be my personal favourite movie in his filmography. These don't tend to get the same kind of coverage in Hosoda-centric discussions as they're franchise properties and as such as regulated to the sidelines but they've still got something to say. His One Piece movie, in particular, is very interesting as, according to interviews, the movie is a reflection of his experiences at Studio Ghibli when he was the director of Howl's Moving Castle and as such it could be seen as being critical of the studio as a
