it's a beautiful accident, that I met you

If Arrietty hadn't met Xiang, would she have lived in peace with the little savage Spiller? There are no distant dreams, no dangerous invaders, they will give birth to a group of little people, and then the race can continue to multiply... But

in fact, as Stefanie sings, none of us know, " Whoever I meet will have what kind of dialogue, and how far in the future will the person I wait for"...

Because encounters are always caught off guard.

In the dark, Arrietty excitedly helped Dad pull out a tissue. She looked up suddenly, only to see the boy staring at her with wide eyes. Arrietty blushed nervously, and slowly, slowly retracted her body and hid behind the tissue. Accidentally, the sugar cube in the bag fell to the ground.

"Don't be afraid," the boy said softly.

There was no surprise, no surprise, no curiosity in the boy's eyes. He looked at her like he was looking at a friend he had known for many years, "I know you are here. I want to see you and talk to you." It's that simple. So, he couldn't help wanting to protect her, gave her the toy kitchen, and felt sorry and sorry for messing up their lives...

Xiang protected Arrietty, but Arrietty gave him the courage to live. Although Xiang lived in a big house with a grandmother who loved him and a housekeeper who served him, he was not willing to leave work to accompany his parents, and even when he needed heart surgery, he did not come to see him.

Meeting Arrietty may have been the only consolation in his fragile life. She trusted him and finally got off her guard against him; listened to him and felt sorry for his parents who couldn't be by her side; she put herself into his hands and went on a little adventure with him...

Sho, who is about to have surgery, says Arrietty became part of his heart.

In fact, this is not so much about the love of a boy and a girl as it is about an encounter that can only happen in the world of children.

I was out with a mom the other day. Her three-year-old daughter cried out in surprise when she saw the caterpillars crawling on the ground. She let the caterpillar crawl into her palm, held it carefully along the way, and gave it a name. When the adults saw it, they quickly hid to the side, the caterpillar, how disgusting. But the little girl has always been so careful to take care of the fluffy little things in her hands. She really thinks it's beautiful!

A child who has no fear will only see chinchillas and the elves in the woods, and will meet Ponyo and be friends with Arrietty.

I think if an adult sees Chinchillas, the first thing they will want to do is call the police. When they see Arrietty, they will find a rodent control company to catch them like a housekeeper.

In describing the bravery, strength, kindness and complete trust of the children, Mirin Hiroshi really grasped the charm of Hayao Miyazaki. Although the story is short and the plot is simple, the beauty of the picture and the grasp of the characters are not inferior to the predecessors of Gong.

In addition, Xiang's seiyuu Kamiki Ryunosuke is really good! He showed the boy's frailty, the boy's tenderness, his love for Arrietty, and his wit with the housekeeper... I checked myself, and the temperament of the male protagonist is very close! He turned out to be Harry's disciple in "Hal's Moving Castle"! That time, he was submerged by Kimura Takuya's Haer. I really like it this time!

    [North American version]

    Shawn: I never saw her again. But the following summer I returned and was happy to hear the people in the house down the road talking about how many things in their home had gone missing.
