The Wind Rises

The Wind Rises fan art - Boy Jiro & grown-up Jiro together.

I went to see "The Wind Rises" 5th time today, this time, dubbed. Naoko's voice was dubbed by Emily Blunt, who brilliantly depicted that she's getting weaker & weaker as days go.
Which made my heart sore.

After MCM London Expo...
