Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })It's 1982 and 27-year old unmarried Taeko Okajima works as an office lady in Tokyo. She decides to spend her summer holiday at her sister-in-law's farm in the countryside to help out with the safflower harvest, since she liked going there the year before. She sees it as a great way to get a break from the city life for a while.During her trip she gets overcome with memories of when she was 10 years old and in fifth grade. In a series of flashbacks, imaginatively interwoven with her current life, a picture forms of her youth, filled with math problems, friends, boys and the typical throes of a girl growing up. It results in her wondering whether she is being true to her own nature in life, since she wanted to be in the country as a little girl already.Only Yesterday, Japanese title Omohide Poro Poro, was released in 1991 and not only is it the first Ghibli film to be released after the Cold War, but is also a typical Studio Ghibli product— minus the fantastic plot devices that permeate most of the studio's work. It was directed by Isao Takahata and produced by Hayao Miyazaki. The result features lots of lovely scenery, intriguing, believable characters and wonderful, fluid animation.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })After 25 years, an English dub of the film was finally released in 2016 by GKIDS, featuring the voices of Daisy Ridley, Dev Patel and Ashley Eckstein.

Adorkable: Toshio. Clumsy, not terribly intelligent, a little too forward, and generally a bit of a hick, but very friendly and eager to put others at ease. He proudly declares himself a peasant and listens to strange Hungarian folk music.

Annoying Younger Sibling: Taeko can be viewed this way in the eyes of one of her sisters.

Arcadia: A major theme running through the movie is the characters' love for the countryside.

Art Shift: There's a subtle one between scenes that take place in the present and flashbacks to Taeko's childhood; in Taeko's memories, the characters are drawn closer to Studio Ghibli's typical style and the colors are more faded, while in the present day the characters are drawn more realistically and the colors are more vivid.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })
