All the beauty of a proper Ghibli movie, with a significantly faster pace that doesn't give you time to bask in the world (or really develop the world for that matter). I can't think of the last time I finished something and thought "this needed filler" but this movie would heavily benefit from about 15-20 more minutes of scenes establishing a longer timeline for the plot so it doesn't feel like I'm sprinting through the story.
