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
