    Unfortunately this seems to be only showing at the Light House cinema in Dublin but it looks delightful. Very emotional. I dug out the Japanese trailer but the version being shown in Ireland is dubbed into English. I would advise against watching the two of them like I did as it gives too much away. I think this wont travel to any other cinemas so it might be a buying experience.

    The Lighthouse has been screening the horrid English language trailer for months, it's so very wrong. Luckily they're screening the original language version too, really the only way to watch it unless you have kids etc...

    Anyway, it's a really pleasant little film, can't believe its been nearly eighteen months since I saw it (disgracefully delayed release). Goes without saying to expect Only Yesterday / Ocean Waves / Whisper of the Heart style Ghibli rather than their better known ones. Miyazaki Jr. mostly atones for Tales of Earthsea, so that's a relief.

    Yeah I watched the two trailers and the dubbed version just felt wrong for some reason. The Japanese version with subtitles seemed to give off much more of an emotional punch. I know I am only talking about a trailer and not the film but still...

    I think it's so pronounced here because the film is so distinctively Japanese. English simply does not fit with the locations, characters and even style on screen. I'd choose subs over dubs 100% of the time anyway, but that trailer just makes me shudder everytime I see it :( Even Aubrey Plaza cannot save it!
