From Up on Poppy Hill - mini-review

Loved it. It's simpler and more mature than many Miyazaki movies, which may've disappointed the reviewers who were disappointed. Perhaps I'm simpler and more mature now.

To place me on the Miyazki spectrum, my favorites are Kiki's Delivery Service, My Neighbor Totoro, and Spirited Away.
