Karigurashi no Arrietty

The Title at a Glance

Karigurashi no Arrietty, an animated film of a single installment, is complete and ready to watch from start to finish.

Catalog tags describe it as "adventure" and "angst", with further threads of "asia" and "award winning" — a combination that signals its tone without giving the story away.

Other names for it include “Ang Munting Tagahiram - Arrietty” and “Arietty: Die Wundersame Welt der Borger”, which is how it often shows up in catalogs and fan discussions.

Behind the Production

The animation is adapted from a novel and produced by Studio Ghibli, first reaching audiences in Summer 2010.

As a film rather than a series, it is built to be watched in one sitting, with a self-contained arc instead of weekly stops.
