Note: This is my opinion. Feel free to agree or disagree.

This film feels like a combination of what Studio Ghibli and traditional Disney animated films give that makes them feel special, but this movie isn't necessarily special because of that. The animation is not bad, but not really noteworthy. Both the cinematography and soundtrack are good. The story isn't that bad, but it also doesn't give off the same feeling as when you watch other notable films from Studio Ghibli or CoMix Wave Films (Makoto Shinkai). The characters are alright, except for the main antagonist.

Still, amidst the current situation the world is in right now, it is nice for Netflix to release a movie like this. Basically, at its core, it's light-hearted, cute, and a feel-good film. If you're feeling down and have two hours to spare, try watching this movie because who knows, maybe it'll make your day feel a lot better than before.

This movie was perplexing and captivating from beginning to end. As someone who has seen all of Studio Ghibli's films, I was left feeling as though this story took great inspiration from the beloved "Cat Returns" movie. The premise of a young, middle school girl, madly obsessed with her crush, will go to any end to make him smile. She would rather ignore the problems of her own life to focus soley on his. As all good coming of age stories go, there are important lessons learned about believing in who you are, and expressing your true emotions, rather than burying them with a smile. There is also a note of appreciation towards the whole of the group; each person in real life is made up of everyone else who has helped make them who they are, and I think this movie pays a beautiful yet subtle tribute to that, reflecting reality through the eyes of an enigmatic adolescent.

It's obvious from the get-go this movie was heavily inspired by Studio Ghibli and you can be allowed for making the mistake thinking it came from them; it has the same features - the strange fantasy elements, the deep philosophy about existence as seen from the mind of a teenager and a focus on strong character development. It's all there.

What I praise the movie for apart from the production quality is its daring; the main character isn't very likeable, and it's for good reason; her flaws as a character she needs to overcome. Not too many studios and directors would dare go into that. It is the archetype of the character who wants to run away from their problems and have things be magically easily fixed for them according to their own fantasies. I would say this makes it a very powerful movie for those teens/young adults who feel just like that.

Other than that, I am giving this one a 8/10 and not higher because I feel the ''fantasy'' elements got a bit too unneededly weird as the movie dragged on, removing value from its more mature themes.

Muge, a young woman with an unrequited love, decides to become a cat, so that she can get closer to her beloved. The narrative is nothing extraordinary, but it manages to capture the viewer attention, with a good pace, and a well-built connection between characters. The narrative's main themes are more than known to the public, such as teen love and friendship, but also depression and insecurity, subtly, and successfully achieved. The animation itself surprised me in a positive way, with rich and detailed backgrounds, nice colors and two or three interesting moments. Some transitions are a little strange, but it's all good.

This movie is weird. That's just it, I don't want to spoil anything but if you watch it it's weird.

The film, the poster, trailer, even the title, will immediately suggest Studio Ghibli. And the good traditional Japanese story ones, not the European ones that not always hit the mark. You have the strong female protagonist, the magic of side streets on hills, cats, magic, hidden worlds and best of all: emotional growth while confronting one's needs and desires. So what went wrong? I don't know. It all just felt like a very well done forgery, a knock off, Pepsi to a Coca Cola drinker. And exactly like that, it may all just be in my head.

I did enjoy the film, it wasn't bad, but something did feel off. Maybe the pacing, or the dialogues that revealed too much, maybe the artificially weird characters, maybe the fact that most of the motivations people use to do things are their pathological codependencies with other people. There are profound lessons to be glimpsed in the story, yet it all felt like someone glued them on there.

So bottom line: a well done animation in the beloved Ghibli style, enjoyable, but feeling a little bit fake.

I expected no more than a cheesy drama but I was so wrong, i totally related with the girl and the lesson taught was actually pretty human (talking about a movie with a cat huh? Lol), it's beautiful not only with the plot but visually stunning it certainly is, give it a chance, it's totally worth it.

Imma be real with you, not a masterpiece, the antagonist was not offensively bad, but a bit shallow. It also feels weird that there are no repercussions for stalking her love interest but that's anime for you. But 3 things why I had so much fun with this flick: 1. muge, the Protagonist, is really energetic, so you are invested in her motifs 2. some really beautiful shots. I'm a sucker for cozy images 2.5. I really don't know why but the tree Scenery in the last third of the movie got me going. I'm seriously biased here

I guess it's more like a 6/10 but I don't care, I had too much of a good feeling afterwards. Easy to enjoy

"Nakitai watashi wa neko o kaburu" is a thought-provoking and visually stunning film that explores the complexities of identity and the lengths one will go to for love. The story centers around Miyo Sasaki, a high school girl who is deeply in love with her classmate Kento Hinode. In her efforts to capture his attention, Miyo transforms herself into a cat, blurring the lines between her human and feline identities. The animation is breathtaking and the use of color and imagery is masterful, creating a dreamlike atmosphere that perfectly complements the story's themes. The performances of the voice actors are also noteworthy, particularly in the nuanced portrayal of Miyo's emotional struggles. Overall, "Nakitai watashi wa neko o kaburu" is a thought-provoking and visually stunning film that will leave a lasting impression on audiences.

A Whisker Away is a light romance with some otherworldly elements. The two main characters, Miyo Sasaki and Kento Hinode, steal the show. The art easily earns a grade of 10, since it complements and establishes the movie's sensitive mood and tone.

A Whisker Away shows us a typical romantic scenario where a girl is deeply attracted to a boy and she can go to any bounds to get his attention and in that attempt she becomes part a magical world beyond her understanding and the journey of both Romance and Magic begins which is quite enjoyable

'A Whisker Away (2020)' is a bit of an odd film, I suppose. It focuses on a young girl who attempts to win the affections of her crush by turning into a cat each night. Though its characterisations are somewhat inconsistent, the piece manages to turn what should be simple archetypes into relatively rounded roles. Obsession isn't as simple as it seems here, with the lead's over-the-top infatuation soon peeling back to reveal a slew of near crippling insecurities. In fact, it's this sort of subversion that makes the movie work as well as it does. Though its core concept is potentially rather problematic, it's framed in such a way that it actually works to enhance the flick's exploration of its flawed core players. It's all very bright and bouncy even when it suddenly gets rather dark. It maintains its aesthetic regardless of its subject matter, making the gloomier aspects all the more unassuming. At the same time, the film has an eerie otherworldliness to it that takes over in the final third. Its balance between grounded drama and surrealist fantasy is surprisingly effective. It ultimately leads to a quirky and enjoyable experience. It's entertaining, engaging and unique. 7/10

Story: 8/10 Visual: 8/10 Music: 9/10

I just love this movie, the movie is light that everybody could understand the movie. Every Character is very well developed in Movie. The visual is beautiful, even though it is fall behind the other movie. The music is glorious, it fits in every scene. The movie contain fantasy and romance, both of them is well balanced with a good conflict inside the movie and how the main character solve the problem.

Overall i give this movie 9/10 because the music is glorious, the story is well fit, and a beautiful visual and romance inside. What an amazing Movie.

The animation and story were fine but it took way too long to get to the point. It should have introduced the audience to "cat spirit world" earlier in the story. I did enjoy it but I almost turned it off after 10 minutes. Some of the scenes were a little bizzare but you know...... anime I guess.

I was always skeptical about Netflix-made anime, but this movie changed my mind! I felt so many emotions... Sadness, frustration, heartbroken... I totally didn't cry during this movie. The graphics and background are amazing. The voice acting and story is perfect. This tugged right at my heartstrings. Relatable, heartwarming, and charming. 10/10

It's kinda normal Japanese's animation work with sentimental stuff. It can make you cry or let you feel no emotions. The story has nothing very special, it doesn't leave a real mark with something original but it can be enjoyable. It's about youth problems but in a very light way. The animation is good and also the soundtrack.

The main character is unlikeable, inconsiderate and impulsive. honestly the main love interest deserves better than her... the storyline is cringey and strange too. not worth watching

I don't know how to feel. I came in with high expectations and got a sub par anime love movie. The plot is weird and confusing at some times so I would recommend English audio. It was cute but that was the only other thing good about it. It's cute... I do give it credit for showing depression and other mental illnesses in the movie. Makes it stronger. It's not that good or amazing. It is sure as hell cute.

A Whisker Away was a solid animated film with some cute and sweet story in it and it had some good tehnical aspects to,like animation and voice acting,both of them were on a quality level and even if studio Ghibli films are above this one,Whisker Away was still a fine film,story wasnt nothing special but it surved its purpose,colors in a film were also very pretty and it blended in tone of film in a remarkable way,there are some weaker staff to,some moments in a film were to cutesy for my taste and it lacked any sign of depth and seriousness,A Whisker Away isnt the best animated film but it is also far from being the worsest one to
