Anime just isn't for me. The art and detail are simply amazing, but the way people are depicted is really distorted. I don't get it. The story isn't very complicated but it does use concepts unfamiliar to me like "radish spirits" and walking dinner.
Once again it's up to a little girl to avoid greed and remember her name and her family in order to save those around her. It worked for Castle in the Sky so I guess they just didn't mess with success.
