Thinking about the Ghibli animations I like, in fact, the ones without Hayao Miyazaki are more impressive.
Starting from real life, there is a little fantasy and miracle in the middle, this is the animation style I like now.
But Grandpa Gong put aside all reality, and created a brand-new fantasy world, which may be just a fairy tale, which is a bit far from his own standards.
The original came from a four-panel comic that is serialized in newspapers every day, and is still going on. Therefore, most of the content comes from showing the small highlights and small interests of daily life from the overwhelming real news in the newspapers.
Like the production of "The Sound of the Waves", it is indeed an animation work that is not suitable for Grandpa Gong.
