Whisper of the Heart MULTi 1080p 10bits BluRay x265 AC3 5.1

 

Whisper of the Heart was the first Studio Ghibli feature not to be directed be either of the co-founders, Hayao Miyazaki or Isao Takahata, although director Yoshifumi Kondo worked from a screenplay and storyboards credited to Miyazaki. Not unlike Takahata’s Only Yesterday, which was released four years earlier, this film possesses a narrative that could easily have received a live-action adaptation. Taken in concert, these productions signaled a new era in Japanese animation. If a simple coming-of-age tale like this was to be produced today in the United States by Disney/Pixar, it would be hailed as “risky” and “groundbreaking.”

Plot: Shizuku Tsukishima is a 14-year-old student at Mukaihara Junior High School, where she is best friends with Yuko Harada. Living in Tokyo with her parents Asako and Seiya, as well as sharing a room with older sister Shiho, Shizuku is a bookworm and is keen on creative writing.
