I got around to watching this the other day, and I enjoyed it quite a bit!
I wasn't too sure about the shading style when the first promo images were released, but in the actual film it looks really good - it kinda reminded me of how I found the visuals of Aya and the Witch quite charming in context. It's a more exciting story than I really expected to begin with, but it's still the kind of story (based on a children's book of course) where the idea is to help children deal with difficult things about life. Even if I wasn't convinced about EVERY plot point and it could've done with slowing down a bit later on, I think it's definitely worth a watch.
