My Review


Howl’s Moving Castle was a movie unlike I have ever seen. The movie revolves mainly around Howl and Sophie. Their meeting was and awkward one but as the story progresses, it gets better. It is well told but I felt that the story could be improved, like the ending does not seem right to me as they can tell more about what happen to their lives more after the war. On the other hand, the movie also had some comedic scene but they tend to be forgotten by viewers easily. Other than the well planned storyline, the music of the movie is also spectacular as a wide variety of background music was used which makes the movie more exciting to viewers. Overall, Howl’s Moving Castle is a spectacular romance – adventure anime movie and I really recommend watching this anime movie. I rate Howl’s Moving Castle 8/10.
