Shy outcast Kokoro has been avoiding school for weeks when she discovers a portal in her bedroom mirror. She reaches through and finds herself transported to an enchanting castle where she is joined by six other students. When a girl in a wolf mask explains that they have been invited to play a game, the teens must work together to uncover the mysterious connection that unites them. However, anyone who breaks the rules will be eaten by a wolf.
From acclaimed director Keiichi Hara (COLORFUL, MISS HOKUSAI) and based on the bestselling novel by Mizuki Tsujimura, Lonely Castle in the Mirror is a heartfelt drama about the pains of growing up and the unlikely bonds that can bring people together.
Female characters in this movie have probably the most natural sounding voices I have heard in any anime ever.
Right, I'm loving it
Ikr i rlly don't miss the squeaky sounding ones in anime.
Because the cast in this anime are not anime voice actors but movie, J-drama actors. I recommend watching anime with a cast full of movie stars instead of seiyuu.
if it is really the case , i never thought to hear that someday. that's so refreshing . after so many of japanese anime movie and series where they force the seyiu's to make too energical over the top acting (which has started to gets old) , they finally ask these actors to be more natural. i wonder if Keichi Hara does that for the originality
Pretty normal, non anime series movies like these normally have these type of voices. I call them ''movie voices'' lol They all sound the same to me, I mean the tone and delivery they use (Your name, Tenki no ko, Belle, pretty much all Ghibli movies too) If you watched enough movies, you'll notice too
I am Japanese and saw this movie at the theater, and it was one of the most memorable movies I have seen in the last few years.
Many of the audience, myself included, cried tears of happiness at the end of the movie.
Like "A Silent Voice", I hope that many people around the world will see this movie. 10/10
okay I believe you, I will watch this when it came out
I sincerely doubt this is even half that relatable.
Thank you. A Silent voice was my favorite movie too.
Song name?

I've read the novel and it's very close to my heart. It has such a nice message and so many lovable characters. They're not perfect people but that's what makes me love them so much. I would definitely recommend this!
i never knew that novel
I agree
I agree, i love that they make an adaptation of that novel!!
Having watched the movie, it probably worked better as a novel. The pacing is just terrible. You could easily cut an hour out of the middle of the movie and not lose much. Then you reach the last 20 minutes or so and everything happens all at once.
This is such a phenomenal movie. I pre-ordered the manga after seeing the movie. I wish I knew about the emotional parts cause I needed tissues in the last 20 mins.
Song is "Merry Go Round" by Yuuri btw. I recommend giving him a listen. His songs are so great
"You're struggling everyday, aren't you?"
Just that voice over a scene of a human hugging her... Damn! That brought tears to my eyes. Would read the novel then come back to this movie
This is so beautiful ❤️
@@IdentifiantE.S just watched this a couple of minutes ago. It really is a good movie, 9/10. Same as Goodbye DonGlees! 9/10
@@naylisyazwina6836 Cool 👀
@@naylisyazwina6836 feel like more and more people watching this recently. It's a damn good movie fr
I totally agree. I didn't expect all that emotion. I wish I knew cause I had no tissues during the last 20 mins. I loveddddd it so much I pre-ordered the blu-ray and manga. ❤❤
I loved the book so much that after finishing it in the library, I bought a copy for myself at the bookstore. It's just so hauntingly beautiful and tugs at my heart strings.
Really cool I hope the anime will be just as good 😄
I was just enchanted by the whole movie. It was such an emotional rollercoaster ride. It has excellent dubbing. I went and pre-ordered the blu-ray and Manga after seeing this. ❤❤
I read the book from the library too. I want to add it to my collection, it was just so good!!!
@-Me-._. I can't wait for the official manga to get released. I tried to see this a 2nd time at the cinemas, but it was strictly limited. What did you think about the Lonely Castle in the Mirrror drawings I did on my channel? Lemme know.
I love it when the characters actually look and SOUND like real people.
Not gonna lie as a once bullied victim in middle school, this movie brought tears in my eyes because man those kids had it way worse. The way they were there for each other made me bawl😭 great movie!! However I wish we knew more about what happened to the other kids at the end.
There is a series of postcards issued in Korea. Spoilers! (I guess) At one point they all gather in one place. But they don't recognize each other, sans one of course.
Came here after watching the movie.
It is even more tough when you actually go through it irl. I hope whoever is going through it finds people like them. And even if they don't, I hope they can wake up from this nightmare and see the sunlight for themselves and not for others.

The book was so good! Heartbreakingly realistic take on anxiety and very moving on how it approach bullying. I felt like I'm back to being a helpless child longing for connection.
Why would you ever want that feeling back?
@@gunslingergirl2579 I see, you're also have low reading comprehension.
I can relate. This movie made me tear up. I even started shaking during it.
This movie did an excellent job at capturing what the kids were going through. It's even worse now with social media. I wish I had know cause I would have brought tissues when act 3 started.
@GwenStacylover464 ME tooooo. It was very relatable and realistic. The voice acting was superb. I didn't think it would be emotional so the 3rd act was completely unexpected. Wish I got to see it a 2nd time on the big screen 😊
Just finished watching in the theater just now and sadly I’m the only one who watched it. It’s not that popular here in our country. Oh well, I have the entire theater and I poured my hearts out., A very touching story..I loved it. 😊😊 If you love Your Name, silent voice, you will also love this..
Watched it on my flight to Sydney. Very touching and creative storyline. Love everything about this movie ❤️
I read the novel version. And believe me, Kokoro looks like what I was expecting ❤
i saw this movie an hour ago and it was flat out beautiful. The plot twists, the storyline, the characters, everything about it was amazing. I definitely cried over it. I definitely recommended and I'll definitely buy the movie when it comes out
Yuuri's Merry-Go-Round hit me so hard at the end credit 😢
The animation is so pretty. These group therapy type of shows pulls my heartstrings a lot
Looks really cool. I love these type of stories.
This looks like such a hidden gem
Mamoru Hosoda's movies are one of the best anime movies I've ever watched! Some of my favorites are Wolf Children, The Boy and the Beast, Summer Wars, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, and Belle. I can't wait to watch this movie.
he didnt make this one, it says Keiichi Hara
Numpty. And you just named 5 out of all 6 of his movies.
Hosoda and Hara are different , this isn't relevant.
This movie is much better than Suzume, IMHO
@@wazzup233 THAT WAS SHINKAI.
this movie surpassed my expectations BY FAR and when i heard Yuuri's voice at the end of the movie ill just say that was magical af
just finished watching this and I must say this anime is really good it make some want to read the novel. the plot and the character are perfect! definitely gonna watch it again when I feel tired because this anime gonna be my new comfort 💗
Just finished the movie, it was kinda slow paced in the beginning but man, the ending was so satisfying. The tears of friendship
Where can i watch this?
@@bigchill9873 animesuge or 9anime
I recommend it to everyone reading the novel, too. They're both damn good.
Watched this on the plane while flying to Tokyo last month. Just an amazing movie. That end hits like a ton of bricks.
Wow...what a wholesome and emotional movie...kokkoro saving akiko and at the end when rion and kokkoro became friends again...belief i cried bcoz all of them were already friends... though their mind forgot but heart and soul remembered... beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤
You know it's going to be good when even the trailer makes your eyes almost overtop with tears

I cry, just because of the Trailer! This movie looks amazing
The fact that this is from the same person who did Colorful makes me very excited and nervous at the same time
You can read the novel first if you're worried. Haha
I have yet to read this novel but can't believe I just stumbled on this trailer. Have to read it now asap.
I read the book last year and it was beautiful. Imagine my glee when I found out there's a movie 🥺🤍 I'm ready to cry again

I love this! It’s simply human. Above race, class, class, and gender. I’ll be trying to convince my mom to watch it ❤
This looks so good. Intriguing. I am adding to my watchlist.
Just the trailer made me goosebump
I cried watching this in theaters 😭
This movie is so emotional it reminds me a little of angel beat it's so moving and I like how upbeat it is
This looks like Hayao Miyazaki meets Mamoru Hosoda, and I can't wait t see this movie
I saw this trailer while seeing Kiki, it honestly sounds very feel-good fantasy novel like! Color me intrigued!
Bravo for the latest acquisition! 🎉 I have been waiting eagerly to watch this, it looks like a visually succinct work of art that must be experienced by all. 😄
I'm sure you're joking.
Oh man im definitely watching this. Made me tear up and it’s just the trailer
I got this book for my birthday and it is in my top 5 ever
Lonely castle in the mirror is more than a movie. It’s an emotion. It’s a story. It’s something that people like me can relate to. This movie was spectacular and wonderful. It told me to never give up. It told me life may be hard, but you can stay strong during those times. This movie was life changing. This movie was a tearjerker. This movie was beautiful. Thanks, Studio Ghibli.
No this movie is made by studio A-1 pictures, not ghibli. They have a lot more amazing anime movies
@@Sotoyalay704 Your opinion. Studio Ghibli is a very classic studio with amazing styles of art. Plus Gkids is owned by Studio Ghibli( right?)
I just downloaded the PDF for the book....wow
I loved the novel!! I’m thrilled that it’s made into a movie. ❤😆
I’ve been thinking of reading the ポプラキミノベル (easy Japanese reading aimed at kids) book based off the book but I didn’t know there was a movie. Neat!
I love how the movie depicts a girl who is older than everyone in the group was the girl who took care of each and everyone's mental state to face reality in their school life progressively.... That was unexpected climax....😮😌...
Loved it till the end happily 😋🤓🥰
Hey now !! I totally understand you need to say how beautiful this story is but at least say it beforehand when you're about to reveal such a plot twist... I just finished reading it so it's okay for me but please think about other people who might just be curious 🌧️🌧️
The wolf and the seven little kids. 😅
Something to look forward to this summer!!!
This is gonna be awesome! I loved the book and the voice acting sounds so good! Can't wait!
I'm so excited for this!
Definitely seems like it'll be a tear jerker
I read the book,it was amazing.
Just read the novel last month. Had no clue about the anime. Can't wait.
OHMIGOD ITS FINALLY HERE!!!!
WHAT?!!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOSH?! This is one of my favorite novels!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks amazing! Can’t wait!!
This looks lovely
It’s a great movie! I watched it on an ANA airlines flight. Didn’t know that it was a new movie
I'm guessing their wish is going to be to remain/become friends after the wish is granted and they're back to their normal lives.

Love the theme song. Merry Go round by Yuuri
