Studio Ghibli

I can't believe no one else had posted this here so I thought I should. Who else loves Studio Ghibli?

I recently got round to finishing my collection of all the films. I'm that geeky I even have a Totoro purse and a Jiji (Kiki's delivery service) alarm clock.

O.o.... i've never ever heard of it....

Studio Ghibli is a company that makes Anime films. Such as Manga makes a heck load of Anime films.

You should check them out sometime!
Such as:
Spirited Away
Howls Moving Castle
Pom Poko
Ponyo
Kiki's Delivery Service
My Neighbour Totoro
The Cat Returns
Porco Rosso
Laputa: Castle in the Sky.
Horus: Prince of the Sun
Princess Mononoke
Tales from Earthsea
Whisper of the Heart
Only Yesterday
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
Grave of the Fireflies
Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro
My Neighbour the Yamadas
Night of Taneyamagahara
Panda! Go Panda!

i saw The Cat Returns not long ago on Film4... lol

and I actually had Spirited Away on my phone at one point... (found a website that had it for mobiles.... free as well ) it was split into something like 13 parts and was missing like the last minute of the film but it watched it a few times lol.... then it vansihed.... even though i don't remember deleting it

Yeah, the Ghibli films are always on Film 4 lol, that's where I first saw them and got to like them XD

i don't have my tv on much... >_>..... so i never know whats on anymore

I love Ghibli's anime. The ones I have watched are;

Spirited Away
Howl's Moving Castle
Ponyo
My Neighbor Totoro
Princess Mononoke
Tales from Earthsea
Grave of the Fireflies --> T_________T

Yay! Larcy likes Ghibli!

I'm jealous that there isn't a Catbus around here.

heh, my favorite is Spirited Away

But Totoro came close, I only realize after seeing it for the second time that the lamp from the catbus is actually the cat's eye >_<

My fave is Spirited Away as well. My second has to be Howl's Moving Castle and then Whisper of the Heart ^^

Heh, mine is:

1. Spirited Away
2. Mononoke Hime
3. Totoro

I also like Grave of the fireflies but it's way too sad T_______T And I love Ponyo's theme song

PORCO ROSSO!!!!
Michael Keaton FTW!


I also love Spirited Away (Awful Dubbed version though) and Princess Mononoke (Lol, God/Deer/Goat's head).

oh man, this company makes kick ass movies, like Kiki's Delivery Service, Ponyo, and My Neighbor Torotoro.

I havent watched Porco Rosso, but love the ost already. I was kinda disappointed in Ponyo, though it was pretty nice.

Joe Hisaishi!!!

Akira is made by Manga Cap'n lol, not Ghibli.

Porco Rosso is good =D I went to watch Ponyo over here at the cinema and I was disappointed aswell.

Howls Moving Castle is pretty much the only Ghibli movie I have watched.

Still, a good one at that ^_^

My friend lent me Howl's the novel version, but I really cant get into it somehow

Ooohh haven't read any novels, might do that now =D

@Taintz: Yeah, I just found that out. I did think for a while that it was because a friend asked if I liked Miyazaki and put Akira on. My bad :B



Eh, Howl's was one of the weaker ones. The progression of the story was awful and the whole ending felt so rushed. It did have a very interesting setting and cast of characters but Howl was pretty mediocre (Plus Christian Bale should never voice for anything until he learns to act well in front of a mic).

The book is probably better because a novel can be like 500 pages and still be interesting while with a film you have to get as much of the story as possible shoved into at least 3 hours and still make sure the story still makes sense.

Yeah that's true. It sucks sometimes when they make films out of books as you never get the good parts that you liked within the book. I'm always willing to read a book so I'll give Ghibli's a go.

I'm so glad someone started this. I'm a huge fan of studio ghibli. Porco Rosso is my stand out favourite, i never got the chance to see howl's moving castle though. Might have to be an online job.

I advise you to see it ^^ It's very good. Well, I enjoy all of the Ghibli's but that was by far one of my faves.
