I've seen this movie so many times and it never gets old. I always rewatch when I move to a new place as well as this movie deals with all the feelings of settling into a new life. There are so many moments of silence where we get to watch Kiki go through all the motions of self doubt and uncertainty. But we also see her wins as well. There's so many scenes of mundanity and it gives many gentle reminders that sometimes the best things about life are when we can pause and reflect. I think one of the great lessons that this movie has to offer is to accept help from people. There are many times where Kiki is dead set on being as independent as possible but she has all of her breakthroughs when she finally leans on people. All of the interactions she has are so human and serves as a reminder that the majority of people are kind. I love this movie as it's about life, growth and change. But also it's about anxiety and loss of inspiration. There are many things about this movie that I will always carry with me forever.

This episode was masterfully executed. Some of the artistry of certain stills and shots completely blew me away. Probably one of the best episodes to come out on tv ever.

Beautifully animated and so entertaining. this episode will probably be my favorite of the 1st season. i cannot wait for the finale
