Don't compare Miyazaki, not everyone likes Miyazaki.

After three years, another theatrical version, the theme of family love as always, is produced at a high level as always. The protagonist as a child is surprisingly not annoying, although he is a child, and Xiong Che is rude and clumsy, but also endearing. The two lonely people are together, filling each other's loneliness. The story of two people growing up together is really touching. Although many people say that Mamoru Hosoda can become Hayao Miyazaki's successor, but I think the styles of the two are completely different. Mamoru Hosoda's works are more entertaining, looking relaxed and happy, and sometimes moved. And Hayao Miyazaki's work... always makes me sleepy. Hosoda Mori doesn't have to be someone's successor, he's already good enough, there's no need to borrow someone's name, he's also an excellent animation director.

The Boy and the Beast quotes

  • Kaede: You know what? I've been asking myself something. "Why am I holding Ren's hand and running away with him? Here I am, scared to death, so why am I doing it? Then I remembered something. How incredibly happy I was when we first met and we started studying together. I mean, there's nobody else who enjoys studying as much as you. When I'm with you, it gives me the courage to keep going too. And right now, it's the same. Ren, if you're going to fight, then I'm staying with you. Don't forget, neither of us is ever fighting alone.

  • Kaede: Everyone of us carries that darkness equally. Ren carries it, and so do I. But I'm still struggling as hard as I can, even now. That's why there's no way Ren can lose to you who were so easily swallowed by the darkness. There's no way we're going to lose!
