Subtle and beautiful Studio Ghibli movie.
||Posted .Richly nuanced this sweet visually beautiful story of nostalgia and quiet romance charmed me. Has Daisy Ridley on the English Audio and includes the original Japanese as well. Ghibli collectors will love this, especially fans of From Up on Poppy Hill and Whisper of the Heart.

Finally in the US on home video!
||Posted .This film had not been on home video in the US prior to this Blu-ray release. Thanks to GKIDS for distributing this beautiful film from the Studio Ghibli library. Disney has been releasing many Studio Ghibli films, but some films, like this one and Grave of the Fireflies and others are being released by other studios. The transfer is beautiful, and it shows off the amazing animation very well. You may not realize how old this film is while watching it on Blu-ray. Disney does a great job remastering films they release to Blu-ray, and if you have had concerns over the quality of this release from GKIDS, rest assured. It is fantastic. Colors pop. The lines are sharp. It's great. Some may find the story a bit slow, but I only thought it dragged near the midway point, which is typical for a lot of Ghibli films, to be honest. However, I found this one dragged less than many. The film is funny and touching. I don't get emotional during films, generally, but by the end of this one, I was swelling up tears. I bought this film having never seen it before, which is always a risk, but I am glad I did. I loved it and I will watch it over and over.

Nice animation.
||Posted .It has some neat animation but the movie is weakened by a really distracting casting choice for the lead male role on the english dub.

Another Beautiful Ghibli Film
||Posted .Only yesterday is one of many excellent Studio Ghibli films. The animation is beautiful, as always, and the story is affecting. This is a more grounded, adult oriented outing, but every bit as good as anything else they have released. It's a touching story of nostalgia and growing up. The Blu-ray is top quality as well, but be aware that the English dub is a lossy track, whereas the Japanese audio is lossless. The extras are concise, but interesting. I highly recommend it!

First Product Review- Only Yesterday Blu Ray
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.I haven't gotten the chance to watch the film yet, but the package itself came on time and without any damage. So, i am happy about that. Best Buy is one of the only retails I get blu rays from that is brick and mortar, and I appreciate that they have a fair number of titles in stock, especially for anime

A Long "Lost" Ghibli Classic
||Posted .Now that Disney's catalog of Studio Ghibli movie classics are available on Blu-Ray in North America, there are still a few movies remaining to fill out the roster. How cool, that Only Yesterday, a Ghibli movie from the 90s, receives an all-new English dub and is finally released in NA as well. Maybe we will see Ocean Waves released next?

Good Movie
||Posted .This was a good movie I'm glad it came to north america only yesterday is about Taeko, a 27-year-old office worker who is sick of her job and ready for a change. As she ventures to the rural Yamagata prefecture to visit her sister and brother-in-law, her mind wanders back to moments from her childhood and adolescence. While reflecting on her coming-of-age experiences, Taeko bonds with her brother-in-law's cousin, a hard-working farmer, and attempts to learn who she truly is.
