Whisper of the Heart may be short of fantasy, but it's still full of wonderfully detailed backgrounds you could stare at all day. The animation isn't quite on par with some of Ghibli's later films, but it's still solid, and the movie as a whole is very well made. There's a romance subplot that feels almost unnecessary, but I like it anyway. It's the sort of movie that doesn't weave a story as much as capture a snapshot in time, and when it comes to tales like that, I enjoy the little extras.
