Ghibli has taken a steady course since around Spirited Away or Howl's Moving Castle to be weird for the sake of it. I like surreal elements in media, but it seems like they've been used as a crutch for good storytelling. I actually haven't watched anything by them since Ponyo, and it sounds like I won't enjoy this one either.
