This movie is one of my favourite Ghibli's ever! It's just...so nice.
It's the first instalment with 'The Cat returns' being the second.
The story follows a young girl Shiziku (voiced by Brittany Snow) who wants to be a writer, spending more time reading than studying. Every book she borrows from the library has already been checked out previously by the same guy. She begins to think they are soul mates and tries to track him down. She later meets a young boy (voiced by David Gallagher) called Seiji, who is a bit cruel to her so she automatically holds a grudge for quite a while, but, as expected, they get to know each other better and all is not so bad, all thanks to Moon, a cat that rides the train with Shiziku and through her curiosity, she follows him and he leads her to an antique shop which just happens to be owned by Seiji's Grandfather.
Through this their relationship unfolds and it all ends well, which is what we like to hear. It's such an easy watch. Brilliant.
