Oh my god cannot believe you hadn't seen Mimi wo sumaseba until now whut how is that possible
self-actualization and the boy, who thinks she and her ambition are amazing
Ikr, and why is this so hard for other moviemakers/authors/etc. of the world to grok? I mean, I have never seen another film get this narrative righter, and maybe not read a book either. Dear everyone who has ever wondered "what do women want," or rather "what do adolescent girls want": this is what we want. Self-actualization and the boy. Girl. Dragon. Whatever. Who thinks we and our ambition are awesome. I wish every girl everywhere could see this film, because I'm not sure media outside Japan, especially movies, have done much better on behalf of the 14-year-old set.
(I guess The Princess and the Frog is getting at the same message, finally, more or less, for a younger audience--but I still look at Disney and think "ur doin it rong"; a Disney film feels like a commodity, not a story.)
Mimi wo is based on a Ribon manga, though (which perhaps you knew)! Wheat among the chaff.
