Editor’s note: A brief editor’s note on Rascal Does Not Dream of a Knapsack Kid (2023): A confident blend of Animation, Drama, Fantasy, focused more on tone than spectacle. Under Soichi Masui’s direction, the film keeps a steady rhythm and a clear sense of place. Kaito Ishikawa, Asami Seto, Yurika Kubo anchor the film with grounded, unshowy work. The 1h 15m runtime suits the material; scenes land without dragging. A respectable mid-tier entry with a couple of memorable beats. Put it on your list—especially if you’re after mood and texture.
