Review of Suzume

***SPOILER FREE*** Suzume no Tojimari is a soothing yet mysterious story. A young country girl is on an adventure of self-discovery, exploring urban cities of Japan for the first time to lock these so-called 'doors' - a journey that tests her bravery, love and willpower in order to achieve her goal. The animation immediately immerses you into its incredible world: from delipidated yet exquisite ruins to the mythical luminous land behind the magical 'doors'... Each scene is so incredibly detailed that it has its own story to tell! Almost feels like a trip that you can look back in years and still reminisce. All the interactions betweenSuzume and the characters felt genuinely real, making it incredibly wholesome and heartwarming to watch as she grows as a person. The music really helped enhance this experience, as well as bringing the hype during the action scenes too. Spirited Away vibes.

Overall, no major complaints besides being slightly boring to watch during some scenes, but that's probably because I have a short attention span... Probably the anime movie of the year! :)
