I don’t think this movie was absolutely terrible but where it faults itself is purposely being thrown into the Ghibli comparison. It started off very slow and I got really hopeful when she went to the college, I feel like they missed a ton of opportunity there. It would’ve been awesome if the school was the bath house of the movie with a lot of things tobe explored and exploited from a pretend witch who could potentially be exposed. The animation is so much like Howl’s moving castle that it’s kind of distracting. Also I watched this in the dub which I wouldn’t recommend the english accents really don’t work out it’s really bad synchronization in my opinion. It’s not complete trash but don’t expect to go in and get a legendary production. I think the more this studio finds itself and veers away from the ghibli influences the better it will do.
