Where Ghibli's heart start.

Double-edged sword. TV format leads to brisk pacing despite weak form (insistent establishing shots, weird edits). Exploration of high school relationships is similar, focusing on those important moments so quickly hurts it while also revealing itself as an accurate portrayal. Do these memories still matter? Should we hold them close or move on? And can we move on more humanly then drunk at a reunion like Yamao?
