My threshold for the animated Japanese films is not very high. I can probably handle the top three percent of the genre and no more."Spirited Away" was fantastic. "Grave of the Fireflies" was really, really good. And "Princess Mononoke" was pretty good. But I feel I've reached my limit.
The final film was not as visually stunning, the characters weren't nearly as well developed and, thus, I never truly connected with them as much as I did the other films.
Even in animation, you need some sort of buy-in or connection or the audience is lost.
