Well I very much enjoyed it. It's perhaps Miyazaki's most beautiful film. There's so much detail and the animation is top notch. I was particularly impressed with the sound design.
I saw the English Dub, since I've never watched any Ghibli film dubbed before and this has a stacked cast. Ill rewatch it in Japanese at some point. They were all great, especially the kid who plays Mahito, Luca Padovan. Christian Bale, while good, felt a little like he was in a different movie with his regional American accent he was doing, that no one else did. Robert Pattinson's voice was completely unrecognizable and I continue to praise him despite all the people hating on him because they only know him from Twilight.
The themes of getting over grief/anger are present like a lot of Ghibli films and they are done so well here. Well deserving to be Miyazaki's last film and a great addition to his legacy.
