The only ghibli movie I ever watched is Spirited Way, stunning visuals and interesting story but kinda slow. Is that how they usually go?
yes
You should try a few more.
- Castle in the sky
- Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
- Grave of the fireflies (followed by My Neighbor Totoro as it was originally released as a double feature)
I’m not sure why Spirited away seems to be the go to Ghibli film (maybe it is less offensive) but it’s probably one of my least favorites from the studio.
Nausicaä is the best one in my opinion but everyone treats it like one of the worst
Nausicaä and mononoke are my favorites
It’s about pacifism and respecting nature. So naturally it’s politically polarizing to some people.
I totally agree with it being one of the best
Grave of the fireflies is hands down the saddest movie I’ve ever seen.
I bawled my eyes out
Add the boy and the heron to the list - it’s a bit darker than others but worth every minute of your time.
Mrrrrrowwwwwwwwww…
Cat bus is a cat but he’s got bus-ness on his brain
