Die Walkure retold as a magical Japanese fish story with Wotan recast as a Richard Wagner-esque sea wizard? Voiced by Liam Nesson? With a soundtrack that alludes to both The Ride of the Valkyries and the soundtrack to Super Mario 64?
What an absolute masterpiece.
This might've surpassed Porco Rosso as my favorite Ghibli film. The layers and artistic allusions and retelling of ancient and not-so-ancient myths was deeply moving.
Beautiful.
