the weird part about reading The Farthest Shore is it starts getting into stuff sorta adapted into Ghibli's bad Tales From Earthsea movie, which was my only Earthsea experience up until now.

i think taken purely on its own it's fine, i certainly didn't hate it when i first watched it. but it's also like... struggling against the weight and reputation of being a Ghibli film, and also is just kind of a bad adaptation of the source material as it turns out.

It’s tragic, given the obvious influence of Earthsea on the outputs of both Miyazakis, that the adaptation was Goro’s first shot and that he missed so badly. Imagining a good Ghibli version of an Earthsea story is so easy and it will never happen :(((
