Such a shame that I let my blog go to pot a bit just as I hit my 100th review.
It's now a few weeks since I watched this film, but I remember thinking it was all right. Nothing special. One of the reasons I watched it was because it is set during the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, and I thought it would be a good bit of research to watch this. However, the Olympics did not really feature that much in the story, and it was more like a standard coming of age love story (which at one point, could've gone down an extremely twisted and demented route. Luckily, it didn't)
Not a bad film, off the top of my head. But not one of the best from Ghibli. 6/10
