Whisper of the heart is one of my favourite ghibli movies, and I always felt that I would love to watch what happens after the ending.
Considering the story following Seiji and Shizuku, I think their relationship status throughout the movie makes perfect sense, however, I personally think the scene or drama caused with the other girl was totally unnecessary and the feelings that took Shizuku to Italy were enough to cause that struggle between them, without the need for a jealousy situationship that after all was never resolved and lasted 10 seconds only to cause the breakup. This scene is probably the main reason I am not giving this movie a higher score.
The other reason is the song. I am sorry but whisper of the heart is not the same withou country roads, also since this version is about Seiji coming back to Japan, and finding it to be the inspiration for his music, I think country roads would have been a better fit, but oh well it is a lovely soundtrack anyway.
The acting was alright and overall I really enjoyed it. If mimi wo sumaseba is one of ur top ghibli movies, you will most likely appreciate this.
