CriticsCritics: 87
AudienceAudience: 8.2

After a devastating global war, a peaceful seaside kingdom survives beside a poisonous jungle inhabited by enormous insects. Its compassionate young princess becomes caught between rival powers and seeks a way to protect her people while rebuilding humanity’s damaged relationship with the natural world.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want adventurous, environmentally minded anime with striking visuals and a memorable world, especially if you liked Castle in the Sky; Not for you if you prefer lighter, simpler stories.
