Absolutely. She was perfect.

Maturity level of a 5-year old.

I like Kiki, but it ends weirdly abruptly with a few loose ends. I find the pacing off too. In my personal opinion, it's below Mononoke and Nausicaa. As for Spirited Away, that's really Miyazaki at the peak of his artistry. It's his magnum opus and among the best animated films ever made.

I'm sure those 1000 agents weren't chosen at random.

When are we going to re-examine all those white immigrants who've been coming here since the 1600s? This is a very problematic demographic. Lots of gun violence.

Technically it's called "Real-time with Pause". It's not exactly turn-based since it's all in real-time, but there is a delay between each action. You're basically using the same combat system as Dungeons and Dragons. But yeah the combat system is very dated.

Useful idiot

Or, hear me out, Roger Moore era Bond villain with sidekick.
