Drifting Home poster

Another fantasy anime with kids. I feel I'm losing my interest in these types of films. They've been taking over feature-length anime for more than a decade now and they're really starting to look very samey. Drifting Home fits in a little too snuggly with the rest of them, making for a rather generic project.

The animation is solid and the premise is pretty nice and the lore is intriguing, but they've could've done a lot more with it. The kids get pretty whiney, the runtime is a bit too long and it gets very sentimental in places. I'd love to see anime move away for kids & fantasy again, but I doubt that's going to happen anytime soon. It's not a bad film, just not as great as it could've been.
