A twelve-year-old falls in love with the ghost of her grandmother. OK, not exactly, but there's an awful lot of blushing and secrets and declarations of love for your standard "kid meets a cool ghost" story. Either way, this is the first Studio Ghibli anime I haven't rejected. The scenery is gorgeous, the story is compelling, and the voicework is solid. Yes, I would've liked a different ending, but the one they offer is still moving.
Director Hiromasa Yonebayashi co-adapted the novel by Joan G. Robinson.
