About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a breezy, romantic-tinged adventure with sky-pirate antics and heartfelt character moments, in the spirit of Kiki's Delivery Service or Castle in the Sky; Not for you if you need nonstop intensity or a tightly focused plot.

Pros: thrilling flying action; charming humor and warmth; rich interwar atmosphere | Cons: uneven mood shifts; simple, straightforward plot; lead can feel distant
