This article feels rather incomplete and perhaps a large part of that could be alleviated by putting up a reception section. The viewer is left wondering what people thought of the film, or if anyone had even heard of it. I myself hadn't heard of it until just this evening while watching another Studio Ghibli film.-- 68.6.182.39 ( talk) 08:29, 31 May 2012 (UTC) reply
