I really am just a secondary if I only discovered this just now. Honestly picking it up just to add fuel to my pyre for the Castle in the Sky duo.
The lack of explicit romantic gestures, bodily or communicative cues that would signify otherwise, and initial interest from either party is what makes Laputa compelling for me.
There're no preconceived notions of love or infatuation that gives rise to ulterior motives from either of the two.
They're just two orphans making the most of every new day. They got one another- figuratively and literally.
The audience gets to watch their friendship unfold and evolve into something more intimate in real-time with every scene.
You can feel the trust, selflessness, and dedication between the two develop as they run into one situation after the next.
It's in every sense of the expression "pure love"- as cheesy and cliché as it sounds.
It's natural, believable, and simply sweet. Something anyone should aspire to have with another person.
You really do just know by the end that they end up together. Not because it wouldn't make sense from a rational or emotional standpoint or that any other outcome would be unacceptable, but because it's the intuition of the human heart telling you that's what they both decided in this story they wrote together.
