Keep in mind, the film was by Goro Miyazaki, the son of the original Miyazaki. I got the feeling that this was kind of a 'here, go sharpen your teeth this for a while' project.
I knew this factoid. Still, there are parts where you are thinking " Is this the end? Already?" As it slows riiiiggghhhtttt downnnnnnnnn at least tiwice in that 'Impending Credits' manner.
Just watching it gives you that feeling, that's just...Not Cricket.
Still on the positive side it does look lovely even if it seems like they took stills from Mononoke and said " we shall make her like exactly like THIS!"
to be fair, my love of Catbus, MOnonoke and Spirited Away etc, may be making me over harsh on this one....(I quite liked Howl's actually, but then I've not read the book)...
I am told Kiki's is quite slow as well....must watch that too.

I have to say, it felt like it was part 2 of something cos it made very
little sense for someone who hasn't read the books yet.
