I loved all of the Miyazaki films except The Wind Rises, which I found to be awful and boring. So I’m kind of afraid to watch this one. Is it more like his earlier work or more like the wind rises?
Hmmm it’s hard to say because its theme is definitely similar to The Wind Rises in that it’s semi autobiographical about his childhood during WWII. However it has more of Myazaki’s trademark mystical elements than TWR.
For me I genuinely loved it and thought it poetically blended aspects of his real childhood and how time distorts memory. It’s kind of a culmination of his old work and his more “realism” movies like TWR. In the end, it stands as a unique work of art as anyone would expect from a Miyazaki film. Highly recommend it.
As a note, Mark Hamill and Robert Pattinson were particularly exceptional performances in the Eng version.

I’ll be honest. I always autofill heron with heroine every time I read the title. I’m too news pilled

It’s mainly surreal fantasy used to explore the protagonist’s trauma. The WWII aspects are mostly in the background, besides the first scene.
Same, could not finish Wind rises either but I guess I will just have to go see the new one.

Very unstimulating and dull in my opinion
