(There's no OP or ED so I linked the trailer)

Premise: Kiki, a thirteen-year-old witch, heads out into the world on her own to continue her training. She settles in a coastal town and starts a business delivering things for people.

The Good: This is the oldest anime Ive ever watched by fifteen years, so it was interesting seeing the style of it and how things were done back then. Im struggling to put this thought into words, but Kiki didnt even have typical anime eyes. It made me wonder if thats just how Studio Ghibli does things or if they werent ubiquitous in the medium yet. In any case, Kikis Delivery Service had a lot of charm, particularly in the story. A young girl going out into the world and having a lighthearted adventure is always a good time. I liked Kiki and her cat Jiji a lot, but all the characters filled their roles well. Tombo and the bakery couple were the obvious standouts, but it also managed to quickly make me care about the people Kiki was doing deliveries for.

The Bad: This is awkward to talk about without spoilers, but the thing Kiki struggled with in the second half felt like it came out of nowhere. I liked the characterization that resulted from it, I just didnt understand why it happened in the first place. It also wasnt clear if things returned to normal, particularly with Jiji. I chose to assume they did because itd make me sad otherwise.

Overall: Kikis Delivery Service is easily my favorite standalone anime movie (out of the six Ive seen, and as this ranking will show it doesnt exactly have strong competition). It told a fun story about a witch and the people she met. Thanks for the recommendation, Xeybozn! Ive finally seen a standalone anime movie that I can call good without any reservations.
