Incredible! Like any Hayao Miyazaki production this one was full with brave, young characters, lush scenery, fantastical elements, and some very Ghibli-esque sparks. You can tell how much of this story has bled into other works, perhaps influencing each other. And it's inspired ny a Tibetian folk story? Fantastic. 

I would definitely read the follow up, of Shuna's journey back home to his village. I would love an animation, too. How beautiful it would be.
