Whisper of the Heart Series, OVA
Tagged under Studio Ghibli, Series.
Shizuku lives a simple life, dominated by her love for stories and writing. One day she notices that all the library books she has have been previously checked out by the same person: 'Seiji Amasawa'. Curious as to who he is, Shizuku meets a boy her age whom she finds infuriating, but discovers to her shock that he is her 'Prince of Books'. As she grows closer to him, she realises that he merely read all those books to bring himself closer to her. The boy Seiji aspires to be a violin maker in Italy, and it is his dreams that make Shizuku realise that she has no clear path for her life. Knowing that her strength lies in writing, she tests her talents by writing a story about Baron, a cat statuette belonging to Seiji's grandfather.

I was expecting more, but I guess this much is fine.
It's another one of the real life dilemma and a growing up movie. Some of the 'question' left unsettled
and there's unnecessary ideas added in.
I still enjoyed the whole thing nonetheless.
A good romance film from Studio Ghibli. It was very well done and far outpaces most of the other romance films I've seen. For me romance films often come across as corny or cheesy, however those words never crossed my mind while watching this film. plot was good artwork was good and voice acting for the English dub was good. Absolutely nothing to complain about. I would like to rewatch with the Japanese audio but I will save that for later.
