Gosh, it's a sad story :c

Studio Ghibli paired it with My Neighbor Totoro, feeling they needed something light to follow it. I think they were smart, there.

Do you have any reference for this? I'm interested. I thought it was something like maybe 5-25. And if one want tighter limits, it'd be something like 12-16.
