I don't know much about the director. At first, I thought it had a Ghibli style, and I thought it was a prequel to "The Witch's Delivery Service", but it turned out to be a new release in 2018. I was shocked and had a sense of parody.
The director has neither the purity and delicacy of Hayao Miyazaki, nor the care and compassion of Takahata Isao, nor the creativity and concentration of the two. People's fake classical architecture, fake blatant and righteous. I wanted to give two stars, but I found out that Arrietty and the Mani in my memory were actually directed by him, so let's add one star.
Sure enough, everyone has their own style and unique characteristics. Even if some animations are completed by multiple people, the director still determines the core characteristics of an animation to a certain extent, just as I once thought that these are the works of Hayao Miyazaki. , and took it for granted that it is divided into three styles, thinking that Hayao Miyazaki has three different dimensions, the fact is, this is the work of three directors, and sure enough, everyone is different. However, this work makes me think that Milin Hongchang is a person with a vulgar soul, and is too far away from his predecessors.
