Just watched Mamoru Hosoda's new film **Mirai** and enjoyed it a decent amount. Beautifully made film with a lot of heart-warming themes, a very cool future/past interweaving dynamic and good development. Unfortunately, the biggest problem with this film is that it was kind of boring. No matter the amount of other great elements in a movie, if it is not entertaining, it's going to struggle a bit in my mind. I prefer Hosoda's other works to this where there is a bit of a more over-arching plot and driving story arch. Still, this is a nice movie to watch especially with your family.

One of the greatest anime movies I've watch, a simple but beautiful story! The last fifteen minutes were an emotional artwork.

The original title of the film is Mirai no Mirai.

A very pretty little film. I wish my life was half as amazing as the vibrant imagination and stories that the little boy experiences.

_Mirai_ is like a good dog (it's good). If I have any criticism… Some parts seem to have been done using CG. They've tried to make it look hand-drawn, but it's not entirely convincing. The voice acting is generally good, though the main character (a little boy) doesn't really sound like a little boy. But that's a difficult one to do. Otherwise, I love the story, some really funny moments, some rather moving moments… Sound design is good, character design is good. So yeah, a very good watch overall.
