From up on Poppy Hill (コクリコ坂から Kokuriko-zaka kara, literally "From Coquelicot Hill") is a 2011 Japanese animated drama film. Created by Studio Ghibli, it is directed by Gorō Miyazaki with the screenplay by Hayao Miyazaki and Keiko Niwa and character design by Katsuya Kondō.
Plot:
Umi, a 16-year old girl, lives in Kokuriko (from coquelicot, French for Papaver rhoeas) Manor, a house that overlooks Yokohama harbour. Every morning, Umi will raise a set of signal flags with the message "I pray for safe voyages". The identity of the person raising these flags aroused much local interest, and a poem about her had even been published in a school newspaper. The author of this poem, Shun, always sees this flag from the sea as he rides a tugboat to school.
Umi and Shun first met when Shun decides to participate in a daredevil stunt for the school newspaper. She thus got a negative first impression of him. They next met again when Umi's younger sister wanted Umi to accompany her to get Shun's autograph. They found him in the Quartier Latin, the building housing many of their high school's clubs and society. Shun belongs to the Culture Club, which is responsible for the publication of the school newspaper. There, she was told that the club needed someone to copy out the articles onto the publishing template, since Shun was unable to do so after he had injured his hand in a scuffle with a cat.
One day, Umi suggested that the students should do a massive cleanup in order to restore the Quartier Latin to its previous glory. Everyone worked hard, including many girls who had volunteered their services. During this cleanup, Umi got to know Shun better and starts to develop feelings for him. Amidst the cleanup, Shun suddenly discovers that he and Umi might be half-siblings, after Umi showed him a photograph of her father. Shun himself has the exact same photo. Having discovered this, Shun starts to distance himself from Umi. This led Umi to become hurt, though Shun eventually reveals the shocking fact to her.
One day, it was revealed that a prominent businessman who is a sponsor of the school, will be tearing down Quartier Latin to make way for a new club. However, the students are unhappy about this, because the effort that they had put into the cleanup of this building would be wasted. In order to stop the domination, the students nominated Shun, Umi and Shirō to go to Tokyo to persuade the businessman to change his mind.
Umi later heard from her mother, who has just returned from America, that she is not biologically related to Shun. Her mother said that Umi's father registered Shun as his own child when he put Shun up for adoption after Shun's father had died fighting in the Korean War. Since her mother was pregnant and could not afford to adopt Shun, Shun was given away to a couple who had just lost their child- Shun's current adopted parents.
However, they were made to wait for a long time before meeting the businessman, in the hope that they will go away. The trio were persistent, and they were duly rewarded when he agreed to visit Quartier Latin the following afternoon. The businessman was impressed by the work the students had put into restoring the place, and agreed to abandon his plans for redevelopment.
Meanwhile, Umi and Shun went to meet a ship captain that was familiar with their fathers. He put to rest once and for all the notion that the two of was related by blood. He also shared the story of both Umi's and Shun's father, and the friendship between the three of them.
-------------------------------------------------

And then, the OST of this animation that I loved was I Shall Walk Looking Up ! I've saved this song long long time ago... I think the time I download were after this animation drama released.

After watching "From Up On Poppy Hill", I started find Arrietty at yesterday night.
Luckily I found ^^
Plot:
A boy named Sho tells the audience he still remembers the week in summer he spent at his mother's childhood home with his great aunt, Sadako, and the house maid, Haru. When Sho arrives at the house on the first day, he sees a cat, Niya, trying to attack something in the bushes but it soon gives up after it was attacked by a crow. Sho then discovers Arrietty, a Borrower, emerging from the bushes and returning to her home through an underground air vent. Later at night, Arrietty's father, Pod, takes Arietty on her first "borrowing" mission above the floorboards to show her how he "borrows" sugar and tissue. After obtaining a sugar cube from the kitchen, they walk within a wall to reach a dollhouse in Sho's bedroom, to get tissue. However, Arrietty gets spotted by Sho while retrieving a piece of tissue from a tissue box and accidentally loses the sugar cube out of surprise. Sho asks her not to leave and although Arrietty hesitates, she still leaves the room with her father.
The next day, Sho leaves the dropped sugar cube beside the underground air vent where he first saw Arrietty. Pod warns Arrietty not to take it because their existence must be kept secret from humans, but his daughter sneaks out to visit Sho in his bedroom. She drops the sugar cube he left on the floor and he detects that she is there. She tells Sho to leave her family alone and that they do not need his help. She does not show him what she looks like. On her return, Arrietty is intercepted by her father. Realizing they have been detected, Pod and his wife, Homily decide that they must move out of the house. Sho learns from Sadako that some of his ancestors had seen Borrowers in this house, and they had the dollhouse made especially for the Borrowers, with working electric lights and ovens. The Borrowers had not been seen since, however, and the dollhouse stayed in Sho's room.
Pod returns injured from a borrowing mission and is helped home by Spiller, a Borrower boy he met on the way. He informs them that there are some other places the Borrowers could move to. While Pod is recovering, Sho removes the floorboard concealing the Borrower household, replacing their kitchen with the kitchen from the dollhouse as a display of kindness, in hopes the Borrowers would be more accepting of his knowledge of their existence. However, the Borrowers become very startled by this and instead speed up their moving process.
After Pod recovers, he goes to explore some of the places Spiller suggested to them. Arrietty goes to say goodbye to Sho, but she discovers from Sho that the Borrowers are becoming extinct. Sho reveals he has had a heart condition since birth and will have an operation in a few days. The operation does not have a good chance of success. He believed that there is nothing he can do about it, saying that eventually every living thing dies. Arrietty convinces Sho that he will fight for the life he has now, even though everything dies.
Meanwhile Haru notices the floorboards have been disturbed. Sadako is out and Sho is still in the garden speaking with Arrietty, when Haru unearths the Borrowers' house and catches Homily. Arrietty leaves Sho in the garden to see what has happened. Saddened by Arrietty's departure, Sho goes back inside the house and into his room. Haru locks the room and calls a pest removal company to smoke out the Borrowers and bring them to her alive. Cooperating with Sho, Arrietty stages a rescue attempt on Homily. Sadako returns soon after the pest removal company comes and tells them to leave. Haru and Sadako discover too late that the Borrowers are moving, and Sho has destroyed the remains.
The Borrowers stop for dinner during their move, and Sho's cat, Niya, spots Arrietty. Niya brings Sho to Arrietty. He gives her a sugar cube, and tells her the Borrowers' fight for survival has given him hope to live through the operation, which will happen in two days' time. Arrietty gives Sho her "hair clip" and they go their separate ways. Arrietty, Pod, and Homily leave in a teapot with Spiller. Spiller comforts Arrietty by giving her a red berry after she joins him on the teapot's top.
------------------------
The ending I felt so grieve (acctually I don't know why. Maybe is they cannot stay together or what) And I hope Sho can still alive after his cardiac surgery. I also love the OST of this animation, the name of the song is Arrietty's Song.
Arrietty's Song
The film score of Arrietty was composed by French (Bretonne) musician Cécile Corbel. Corbel also performed the film's theme song, "Arrietty's Song", in Japanese, English, French, German, and Italian.The lyrics I felt so impress. The written inside the lyrics is all about Arrietty and Sho.
Finally I've watched!
Thanks God!
:DD
