Went to see Hayao Miyazaki's The Boy and the Heron today. Without spoiling anything (since it's best to know as little as possible going into it), I think it would've made a very worthy swan song for him if he wasn't already working on his next swan song. (Glad it's replaced The Wind Rises as his grand finale, at any rate; that one's got some strong points, but a huge chunk of it is pretty much a Hollywood-ified biopic and I think it's his weakest film as a result.)

Also pretty sure it's the first 2D-animated film I've seen in a theater since The Simpsons Movie, which came out the same year I joined this forum. Good lord.
