The scenery is beautiful, the animation is flawless and the casting is perfect; there is literally nothing I can find wrong about this movie. There's quite a lot of information as well- one finds themselves learning about Japanese culture and religions whilst watching. It's not a classic body swap film either because there is a mystery AND action. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and it's so infuriating sometimes! I absolutely love this movie and I would recommend to everyone over 10. This is the highest grossing anime movie that was not made by Studio Ghibli, and I quite agree. It deserves it.
