Ok so I watched this "controversial" new Ghibli film last night and was pleasantly surprised. It seems poor Goro Miyazaki has come under some flack for this film, his own father criticised his ability to direct and the author of the Earthsea books was also pretty unimpressed by this film interpretation. Saying that however this is a very good anime film, but not a very good Ghibli film.
