Maquia - When the Promised Flower Blooms (Blu-ray)
I thought Maquia was a fantastic film and was completely absorbed by it. The actual story is quite straight forward but the character stories and the associated character development were handled with an incredibly deft and empathic touch throughout and I really like how the film concluded. It was beautifully animated as well. I had high expectations based on other anime I'd seen with Mari Okada's involvement and the general high opinion of Maquia at the time of its release and it didn't disappoint.
