Just watched 君たちはどう生きるか and I liked it. The English title is horrible.
It reminds me of すずめの戸締まり
In terms of using time traveling to meet past/future self/mother and to resolve the internal conflicts of the protagonist, すずめの戸締まり did it better
Both moved me. すずめの戸締まり let me cry out
I loved すずめの戸締まり by far the best movie to come out recently, also has some of the best sound design and music I've heard.
although I didn't care for 君たちはとう生きるか (or the english title The Boy and the Heron) it had a great beginning to the movie but then it goes off the tracks and introduces tons of story elements and characters that it never uses again. also it wasn't very clear what the point of the adventure was, just felt like he was moving from one challenge to another without doing or learning anything
