However, visually one could not ask for more from Ponyo. In another place, someone mentioned that Ponyo is a marvel of animation and design, not so much as a film, and I'm inclined to agree. For me Ponyo is an anime of waves and light, and Miyazaki's childlike vision of an ordinary world flooded in his imagination.
