Studio Ghibli Love

[RSC Cooper Inc]

There's got to be some other Ghibli lovers out there. Until a couple months ago I always thought that I loved Ghibli movies, but I had only seen My Neighbor Totoro and Ponyo. Since then, I've added The Secret Life of Arietty, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Kiki's Delivery Service, The Cat Returns, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, and Whisper of the Heart to my watch list(it's been a great couple of months).

Discuss any of your favorite Ghibli movies or any of the ones you plan on watching here! Make sure you use the spoiler code, however!

The next movie I plan on watching is Castle in the Sky but I'm waiting for my friend to come back from break before I rent it.

And here are some Ghibli sprites that I've done

I read about My Neighbor Totoro, pretty cool

[Korbis]

Castle in the Sky is actually the only one I've watched all the way through, it's amazing

I also tried watching My Neighbors the Yamadas. I said "tried" because I couldn't watch the whole thing. There really wasn;t anything going on; it was like watching an animated version of reading a comic strip every week. Multiple small stories, with a couple stories that were about ten minutes mixed in.

Hayao Miyazaki or whatever his name is, has retired btw

Really? Because he just released a new one a short while back. The Wolf Children.

He's making one last before retiring about a pilot or something.

[Kloud]

Loved his films ever since I saw my first (Spirited Away). Since DVDs/BluRays are a tad expensive, I don't own them all yet but I'm working on it. Right now we've just purchased Wolf Children and plan on watching it together tomorrow.

The Wolf Children isn't from Miyazaki. It almost looks like it would be, but it's from Mamoru Hosoda and Studio Chizu

That one's in translation for US release right now, and his son is taking over directing the Studio.

Sunday, September 1, 2013, Hayao Miyazaki held a press conference in Venice, confirming his retirement saying: “I know I’ve said I would retire many times in the past. Many of you must think, `Once again.’ But this time I am quite serious..." Now it is time for Hayao's son, Goro Miyazaki, to take the torch and follow in his father's footsteps

Well I'll be damned. Either way, it looks decent. I'll let y'all know what I think. I think I thought it was from the same studio because someone told me it was. xD

Mmm.... My favorites are Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke, I find them particularly touching. Though I haven't really seen one I disliked... Wasn't a huge fan of Arietty, but it wasn't awful.

As much as I respect Hayao Miyazaki..

WHY WOULD YOU NAME YOUR SON GORO

That's like a pet name

"Come here Goro."
"Goro, sit."
"That's a good Goro."

And I thought Goro was a cool enough name. Now you ruined it! XD

My favorites are My Neighbor Totoro(mostly because it was the first and because it's Ghibli's mascot film) and Princess Mononoke. I had no idea what I was getting into when I rented PM until a friend was telling me about people's limbs getting cut off XD I took a couple breaks while watching the movie, it was the most intense 3 hours I've had in a while!

Oh, and you guys know "Pokemon Jade"?

Now remember Shishigami(The Forest Spirit of PM)?


Also, there are some people making a live-action movie about Princess Mononoke called "Wolf Girl"

Wolf Girl is a live action fan film inspired by the Studio Ghibli masterpiece Princess Mononoke. It is a modern-day fairytale and a glimpse of the world today if the events of Princess Mononoke were real human history.

I've got a lot of problems with this. Mainly, the fact that it's "a glimpse of the world today if the events of Princess Mononoke were real human history." PM is supposed to be actual history(like historical folklore); I'm fairly sure in the beginning the narrator says that it takes place when the gods were still alive.

[Sato]

I've seen Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Tales from Earthsea, Ponyo and Princess Mononoke.

I saw the latter for the first time ever yesterday, really love the insane Japanese folklore it has, and all the character are pro. The dub wasn't bad either, started a little odd, but definitely got better.

After Watching Wolf Children, if you guys hadn't told me it wasn't Ghibli, I would still believe it now. We just finished watching it and it has Ghibli's standard bittersweet ending.
