Our take on Studio Ghibli’s newest anime, When Marnie Was There【Impressions】 soranews24.com

At the same time, studio co-founder and acclaimed director Hayao Miyazaki’s retirement from anime films also has plenty of long-time fans on edge.
Still, we weren’t about to pass up the premiere of a new Ghibli movie, so we grabbed a ticket and went to see Marnie for ourselves.
“Marnie of Memories”) in Japanese, the film is an adaptation of the children’s novel by British author and illustrator Joan G. Robinson.
The Ghibli film changes the setting from England’s Norfolk to Japan’s northernmost island of Hokkaido, but retains the basic premise of Robinson’s 1967 original.
Watching When Marnie Was There, though, I could feel it starting to reawaken.”Sounds like Ghibli’s post-Miyazaki era is off to a good start to us.
