Lets get this out of the way
There is a fine line between being inspired by Ghibli and plagiarism. This movie probably dips a little too deep into Miyazaki's legacy.
Having said that, I also have to mention that I really like Ghibli, so seeing a Ghibli inspired movie isn't necessarily a bad thing for me.
The actual movie
The story is simple. Maybe even a bit too simplistic. Just like the earlier ghibli movies this is a film for children, that can also be enjoyed by adults. Just don't expect something very deep, philosophical or "original".
Production values are good. Animation is a little bit stiff, but it's fine. The artwork could be better, but there is nothing technically wrong with them. This is a competent team. The backgrounds are warm and have a nice blend of fairy tale and photo-realism. There are some CGI elements (like cars) that looked a bit cheap. But overall: Not Great, Not "very good", but 'Better than Good'. A solid 6/10.
The music is a real plus, kinda reminds me of 'Your name'. Very nice.
Subjectively speaking
I like Japanese mythology. I like Buddhism. I like Anime. And I like this movie.
There is a lot you can criticize. The voice-acting was kinda bad. the pacing isn't perfect, the story is very predictable. You can choose to be a cynical bastard and dismiss this film entirely. Or, you can relax, lower your defenses, and just enjoy a nicely made little movie. It's an hour and 40 minutes, and if you got the time to spare. You might as well watch this.
+1 one points for the music and the mythology lesson.
7/10

main cast
Kanna is a 12-year-old girl born to be a descendant of the gods. Her family has a mission to deliver offerings from all over Japan to the gods' gathering in Izumo. Although Kanna's mother was to complete the mission, her passing prompted Kanna to finish the rest, hoping she could reunite with her dead mother in the Gods' land at the end of her journey.
What is Kamiari Month? Japanese people believe that gods dwell in various things. There are gods of the water, wood, and even gods that keep us safe from the virus. Every October, thousands of gods leave their places of residence to gather in the Izumo region to have a conference. As such, October is also called Kamiari month— only in the Izumo region— which means the month with gods, and Kannazuki— in every other region— which means the month without gods.
