r/ghibli

I was very impressed with Laputa. I'm old as hell, I've known about Ghibli forever but haven't seen everything. I saw Spirited Away in theatres. I've been focusing on the stuff before 1996, and went into this one with zero preconceptions, having not seen any clips, screenshots, posters, nor hearing any buzz. I'm confused why it doesn't get mentioned much, it really is classic anime that should have a better reputation amongst general anime fans.

Everything is set up well, the main two and Mama-based characters are likeable, the animation is beautiful, the plot unfolds in an organic way that keeps us interested. It's not too cute nor too violent, I noticed it instead has a lot of action and tension, which was very cool to see. It depicts a world with genuine danger. One thing it does have is a morally unredeemable villain - he keeps killing people and shooting at our heroes. He punches Laputa, he shoots at Pazu's head, he's also, just kind of, a genocidal elitist fanatic.

Very impressed with this one, it occupies a funny position, to me it's halfway between Nausicaa and Kiki, it does steampunk stuff super well, and boy does it crystallize the Miyazaki fascination with flight perfectly. Killer synth soundtrack, no manipulative moments or speeches, why can't people pin this movie up above their drawing boards and writing desks? Rant over.

Me before and after ! Unfortunatly I don't have blue eyes

Was looking online for cute wallpapers for my laptop and found this Google Drive filled with high Res / 4K screengrabs!!

(!!!!!!!!!also this is a spoiler free post!!!!!!)

Since the summer, I’m currently on a binge trying to watch every single studio Ghibli movie these are all the movies I haven’t seen yet. I’m currently trying to watch the movie only yesterday but after like 23 minutes of watching the first part of the movie I got very very bored and turned it off. The story is very adorable, but it feels like the pacing is very slow and very draining and I usually watch Ghibli movies in the English dub and it feels like it’s going really slow either way I do wanna finish it. It’s just is it worth it ?

Second image is the list of movies I still need to see

Is this scene a reference to Circe? She fed sailor men a lavish feast turning them into pigs. I understand Yubaba is a witch as well and it always made me curious if it was a reference to Circe from The Odyssey.

26 year old male here. My Neighbour Totoro is my favourite film of all time and I get very emotional every time I watch it.

I really fell in love with the design of this Seiko Alba Totoro Watch and was planning to get it as a personal birthday gift. The only problem is that it's a 26 mm watch made for women and there's no other size available. This is an AI generated pic of how the watch would look on my actual wrist.

One way I thought of justifying the size is to think of it more as a children's watch than a women's watch and since Totoro is all about the magic and innocence of childhood, the proportions are actually perfect.

What do you guys think? Should I go for it or does it look way too out-of-place on a man's wrist?

I DID NOT CREATE THIS.

I forgot to post this in my other post. One of my favorite movies.

Sooo, I played a bit on the tablet and created this! he's kinda chubby tho, but I love him!!

I DID NOT CREAT THESE.

Just thought you all might enjoy 2 art prints I picked up at C2E2.

Mononoke is water color, and the artist says he uses the same water color pallet Miyazaki uses.
