I had not seen Studio Ghibli's Whisper of the Heart until I popped in last year's Blu-ray. I had seen its pseudo-sequel The Cat Returns, but not the much more grounded-in-reality original. Unlike what many people think of as the trademark, fantastical Ghibli style, Whisper is entirely grounded in the real world with its few fantasy sequences happening within dreams.

It's lovely, subdued, and one of the best animated transfers of last year.
