Ghibli's really good. I'm worried this video isn't interesting because there isn't enough garbage to hate on.

JelloApocalypse Every Pokémon movie in ten words or less? Maybe? Please? Yes?
JelloApocalypse I think the second best should have been Totoro
Howl's Moving Castle:
"Evil queen ends decades-old war when asked nicely."
PainCausingSamurai ye but it’s lit
How is this the plot. There was no evil queen, no one was asked, and it wasn't decades old.
Tara Franklin lmaoo did you not watch the movie. I agree it wasn’t really an EVIL queen but it was a wizard queen ending a decade old war after getting asked nicly
@@TheHotpotato-bp7mm Did you? Suliman was the court sorceress, she wasn't a queen and she wasn't asked. She saw Justin returned to his human form and said to herself that it was time to "put an end to this idiotic war".
Tara Franklin I get your point but she was convinced mostly by howl
I have one phrase to summarize Ghibli films.
"It just works"
It just works
Justin Y. Hello there
Justin Y. Lol yes
Its a good phrase.
Omg go away, your on every fucking video
Leave, your presence perturbs me
Howl's Moving Castle is a fever dream you don't want to end.
And then ends very abruptly
@CrazyMiles what
@CrazyMiles what
All ghiblis films are glorofied fever dreams tbh
@Miles Doyle no
Fun fact: WW2 veterans were expecting Saving Private Rian to be a silly war movie, but left movie theaters crushed by how reallistically it portrayed the horrors of war.
Grave of the Fireflies is Saving Private Rian's animated counterpart.
“Ryan”
Geez...
@@IceIsRick no no, the americans screw up a bunch of names from different languages, they deserve a bit of payback
I dunno, I quite enjoy Children Slowly Dying for Two Hours. It’s a beautifully tragic film and it does wonders for unclogging my sinuses.
And making oneself feel like a wreck in the next morning
b0n34ip1ant No, I feel fine in the morning. I’m pretty jaded though.
@@MislaidAlbum Oh alright. good for you
MislaidAlbum I thought that was Grave of the Fireflies
MislaidAlbum It’s a brilliant film that tackles a very big overlooked theme in society that people might not have thought about.
my favorite is Howl's Moving Castle, it's like a perfect fairy tale. it does feel a bit rushed at the end, but it actually ends with "They lived happily ever after" which seems to be lacking in films these days
GoddessOfWhim2003 it feels like a fever dream
Yeah, but the plot is completely screwed with.
I agree with youuu uwu
In the Book at the end he does ask her if she wants to live happily ever after jokingly
Watch this. czcams.com/video/ug1MfEcBLWs/video.html it explaines why the end isn't rushed
So what is the point of "When Marnie was There" as a story?
A child believes themselves to be worthless, but over the summer is put with relatives away from the city where she can explore with new relationships. She meets a girl moving into a house which catches her interest due to it being familiar to her. She imagines a friend with stories of being locked up in her house or other buildings and finally realizes this imaginary friend is her grandmother and the stories told to her as a preschooler that the house refreshed for her.
The point was she realized she was loved when her Grandmother was a part of her life, so the summer gives her strength to return to her life realizing she is special to someone.
So what is the point of "Only Yesterday" as a story?
A woman believes she is successful in life at her job, but upon taking a work stint away from the city she remembers her youth and what her desires were for herself from elementary school. Through this reassessment she comes to realize her life is passing her by, in terms of what matters, and gives up on her job to remain with the work she took away from the city.
The point was she realized pursuing her dreams are more important than stability and responsibility that adults force upon themselves to fit into the society around them.
Niceee. I always thought "Only yesterday" and when "Marnie was there" was a bit underrated. Hope other people sees this 2 films.
@@RepublicofFoigWerg Ah yes, The duality of Marnie.
I personally thought that Marnie (Annas grandmother) was trying to reconnect with her as a spirit. When Marnie lived in the house by the lake she was happy even though her nanny and maids abused her. She had a tough life and as a ghost she chosed to stay at her house by the lake. There she would repeate her happiest days in there for the rest of her eternity. But then Anna came. Marnie wanted to show Marnie how much she loved her, she wanted to show Anna that she wasn't alone. By the end of the movie when Anna had a fever and when she met up with Marnie again Marnie asked for forgiveness, for leavong Anna behind, although it wasn't her fault that she died. She was finally at peace when Anna forgave her.
I cried at when marnie was there, mainly because i had a rough week and i got the rest i needed in a form of silence and a movie.
thankyou.
ocean waves could've been "mostly homoerotic subtext", the two "friends" are pretty obviously in love
If he just said gayish than he would’ve been 1000x more accurate
That twist at the end tho, wtf was that
Obviously not. Westerners wouldn't understand.
I think it is funny how the puritanical culture of the west has affected people so deeply they literally cannot comprehend men having close intimate friendships without being sexual.
This is evident with how often people claim that a male friendship is actually a sexual relationship.
@@jacobodom8401 i'll admit i misused the word "homoerotic", i didnt mean to imply their relationship to be sexual, but romantic. the story's ending would have been more satisfying if the two ended up together
You give me the jeeblys

I'm sad that Howl's moving castle isn't talked about more. It's one of my favorites, but that's only because I read the book it's based on... Book and movie are almost nothing alike by the way.
Jared Poth there are things I absolutely love about the movie, like billy crystal as calcifer, the humor, the color/cinematography, but it was so confusing, the plot meanders and there are too many superfluous characters. Turnip head didn’t have to be in the film (or at least the human he transformed into) as did the mother and the subplot of finding a new husband and ratting her out to witch what’s her name.
The underlying theme of the film is anti-war, and the Turnip Head thing is to show the pointlessness of war. The war was supposedly started because the prince went missing. So when it was revealed he was the scarecrow, it was like “All that fighting and turmoil we went through had absolutely no point”
Also, I thought the plot was actually quite straight forward... but then again, it is my favourite movie ever and I’ve seen it a million times. Not even looking at it for an essay could destroy my love for it!
It's been ages since I saw it, but I remember being pretty unimpressed. My big takeaway was that it felt like a mashup of themes and ideas which Miyazaki had already explored thoroughly in much better previous films.
yo i loved that movie and it quickly became my fav ghibli, mostly cause of the characters themselves, so do you think i'd like the book too?
I really enjoyed Only Yesterday. It reminded me of my school days and my summer vacations, it has Romanian folk music (that made me really proud of my country) and as a woman that is around 30 and not married it really spoke to me in that matter. It was slow paced indeed but just make a cup of tea and enjoy the stunning animation.
Chill bro, chill. It’s good that she can relate to it. If a mvie can make that connection on a personal level, then it’s done it’s job.
@@rattatouilletherat my point exactly. Thank you!
The painfully slow pace definitely leaves room to think about your own childhood, I think that’s what the film was attempting. A lot of wether or not you enjoy it will come down to if you relate to it.
@@samaustin8690 as her childhood was reminiscing of mine the slow pace did give me time to relieve mine along the way. felt nice to be remembered of good memories
idk this movie was boring on many levels and i hate it a lot
It's kinda sad how unpopular "From Up On The Poppy Hill" seems to be. I thought it was simply beautiful, how it portrayed camaraderie, maturity and teamwork between teens.
It is definitely a great film. It's a very charming movie
it was very realistic as well, the kids had feelings for each other and even when they found out they weren't siblings they didn't get together and i feel like in most movies they would but it's nice bc irl most people would not want to be in relationship with someone who might have been yer brother yk
Yess, I love From up on poppy hill, I love the colors and the magic of the clubhouse. I mean, it's so positive considering that it is a "real life" based film, I loved the plot, how everyone got together and worked so hard to save the clubhouse and the details with the flags and everything
A lovely movie, I really enjoyed it
Truly underrated.
My girlfriend is my DEAD GRANDMA?? Story Time
lol noice

They literally don’t flirt, they’re just best friends. That’s exactly how I was with my bff, and we were just best friends.
Kiki's is my favorite. I am a huge fan of the down to earth emotional slice of life types over the magical fantasy types. I think kiki does a great job of not overusing her being a witch and relies more heavily on the characters.
Sophisticated Dinosaur mine too! The animation is just gorgeous and the music too, and the story is whimsical but also deep down really realistic.
Sophisticated Dinosaur omggggg same it’s a good to after spirited away for me, then maybe princess mononoke
I love how both it and totoro both slowed down, used real life. I mean if you took the magic out they could both be someone's real life. And very well might be similar.
That and I love them,I honestly can't explain my love for those movies.

WHAT IS STUDIO GHIBLI DOING NOWADAYS???
Slevin Channel Isao takahata unfortunately passed away, but Hayao Miyazaki is working on a new film called “How do you live?” that will hopefully come out in a few years or so. Also Miyazaki’s son Goro is planning on carrying on his father’s legacy !! :-)
Grave of the Fireflies literally changed my life. It made me appreciate my life and to stay happy with what you have and also made me understand the value of food. IDK what everyone thinks but it's soooooooo good.
Where can I watch it?
@@rattatouilletherat you’d have to find an anime website because it’s one of the only ghibli films not licensed to show on streaming services
@@shivipivi Believe it or not, I found it on CZcams for free. I just couldn’t bring myself to finish it because it left me feeling too distressed. I’ll revisit it when I’m feeling better.
Good for you
@@rattatouilletherat HBO MAX has most of the ghibli films, its probably on there too if you have it
ok but why is no one talking about The Wind Rises because that movie broke me-
I was literally just thinking this when I saw your comment. The wind rises is my fave Ghibli film out of the ones I've seen.
That movie is SO overlooked that hurts. Not the best ghibli film obviously but that one and the grave of the fireflies are my two fave ghibli films.
@@dekuMusic I actually think The Wind Rises is the best Ghibli film
you need to watch it many times to truly capture all of its meanings so maybe that deters people, but it really is such a good underrated gem
Man. The main character was boring though. He just liked planes, and smoked around his wife who was having breathing troubles. When she dies he has no reaction at all. Hard pass.
I kinda feel like he missed the whole point of Only Yesterday. The whole idea is to evoke a sense of nostalgia in that typical ghibli fashion, and all those simple scenes that may seem drawn-out or pointless are precisely what make it so, so good and enjoyable. One of the things that makes ghibli movies so great is their attention to detail and the way they manage to make even the most trivial matter interesting to watch. Never in my life did I think I would feel so much by watching a scene of a little family eating pineapple for 5 minutes, but the animation, the way they spoke and tried to pretend to like it before admitting it sucked, how they thought of explanations like maybe it's because of this or that. How Taeko just forces herself to eat it even though she visibly dislikes it only because it was her who was the most excited. It all felt so, so real and relatable, I could literally see myself and my family right there, even though that exact scene has never happened to us. And this is just one scene that I talk about because it was mentioned in the video, but there are soooo many that I could go on about forever. So yeah, movies don't need to be so heavily plot-driven in order to be good, sometimes it's enough to create that feeling of something tangible and real.
Edit: just because I see many replies mentioning this, I never said that "getting" the movie = automatically liking it. There are many movies I understand yet dislike as well. I just said that I felt the video didn't really "get" the point, at least in my opinion, and that it was a little subjective in presenting and rating it. Oh, and I'm also not simply defending the movie because it's my favourite-I love it, but it's not even close to that. Just thought I should clarify this, thank y'all for being civil, have a nice day :)
Well said. Only Yesterday felt like a breath of fresh air to me.. very relaxing and slow-paced compared to your typical crazy action-packed movie that never takes a minute to let its audience pause, reflect, react, or feel anything. It's not an exciting movie, for sure, but I enjoyed it because it was relatable and touching.
Only few will actually appreciate it i think. It depends on how we lived and how the film connects to us. At first, i thought it would be boring and long but it's fine. I especially love the ending. It gave us a beautifully done conclusion.
Even if it’s not plot driven, there’s many movies and shows that have scenes that make us want to watch and feel good, but idk, only yesterday just got me so bored. I loved the scenes when she was a child, but any scene as her as an adult felt somewhat pointless for some reason. I think it’s just hard for most of us to grasp the meaning, and that’s why it’s hard for us to like it even if others do. I wouldn’t call it a terrible movie though by all means, it’s just not for me and when people dislike it, I see exactly why.
Anne Smith the movie isn’t for everyone, only yesterday Is my favorite ghibli movie by far, it describes incredibly well 70s Japanese family and the director transmite pretty well his values and feelings.
I can understand why people doesn’t like this o movie and others ghibli works like grave of the fireflies, tales of the princess kaguya they lack of action and are slow paced.
Getting the point doesn't make it not suck. Commit 100% to illustrating a theme and a mood if you gotta, but it's a high risk film-making strategy since if you DON'T successfully hack the emotions of the audience and make them think you're a genius through the power of nostalgia pineapples... all you're left with is unforgivably boring nothingness.
Whisper of the Heart is the most underrated!!!
thats my favvvvb.... countryy roaaaaad
Concrete road...
It is my favourite of all time
luisalonsoecheverria really liked the movie 100% would watch again
Same ,it's so beautifully made
I personally LOVED Only Yesterday,it tackled childhood incense with such fluidity. As an asian, seeing how Teako's family was so distant, it really made me think, "Yeah, Japanese nuclear families"
It's natural, Jello, natural.
*innocence but yeah Only Yesterday is pretty underrated imo, Way better than Jello described it being
I’d give it a 6/10 or 7/10 idk which one, Good but not essential, But you’re probably gonna like it if you watch it
It’s definitely better than Pom Pokko lol
Is Taeko not Teako
I actually really like "when Marnie was there"
it deals with self love struggles due to the fact that Anna learned at a kinda young age that her parents are paid for her (which especially to a young girl like Anna that seems to struggle with accepting her asthma as a part of her) is something that could really affect her mental health. The first time she actually feels unconditional love is when she meets Marnie, of course Anna would try to hold on to that at all costs. And to be honest, Anna not at all talking about the feelings she has about the money her parents get but instead directing her feelings outwards in a sometimes rude way is something every teenager does at one point. The character arc is well written and the overall portrayal of Anna is very realistic.
Eh I dunno. The reasoning is so base and nothing and it's made out to be such a big deal it makes it look like an asshole
I dunno what that responder is trying to say above me but I agree, Marnie's a great film. Nice to see it have some love
I definitely agree, I liked Marnie a lot
i loved it but i hated how much it seemed they were in love, only to reveal she was her GRANDMA
broke my heart, i was rooting for them
@@irlmeow Yeah that part was annoying because I totally hoped for a cute, sapphic love story
You know Spirited Away is more of a fever dream than Howl’s Moving Castle right?
Edit: It's still a beautiful film though
Agreed
I watched spirited away at 1am and had to watch it again to check that I didn't just dream the whole thing
Yup
I have childhood trauma of the parent-pig transformation
ikr like out of NOWHERE a protagonist turns into a dragon like wtf
I loved When Marnie was There...
but i also think The Cat Returns is so underrated because its SO GOOD
strawzii I strongly agree
The Cat Returns is the Japanese Close Encounters of the Third Kind - a long slow rambling build up to a very pretty last 20 minutes that makes it all worth while.
It's been so long since I watched The Cat Returns, but it is super good!
When Marnie Was There is fantastic, animation and soundtrack wise, and the original story is so charming. Don’t let one bad review get you upset about it ❤️
strawzii I really enjoyed the movie too, it also introduced me to the book it’s based off of, which really gives more depth to both characters, also they’re a lot younger in the book so their reactions and feelings are more in line with how a kid would feel in such circumstances, I really recommend reading it.
Tale of Princess Kaguya is a glorified screensaver in all of the best ways. The story, emotions, and everything else about it is literally told through the artstyle. I won't say any more. Go watch. Now.
My favorite has always been Castle In The Sky. I'm not sure why, I just love it. It's got a fantastic soundtrack and the different characters and scenes are so well captured... It's got so many good moments, like when they join the pirates or when Sheeta tells Pazu about her past or that cave scene with Uncle Pom. It's just so masterfully crafted.
I like the fact that Mark Hamill voiced Muska in the American dub. He absolutely killed it!
I adored that movie
My GIRLFRIEND is my DEAD GHOST GRANDMA?! *I choked*
Ikr
What also sucks is that it got a 4 and it's one of my favorite Ghibli movies. 😭
It doesn't suck, its just his opinion. He literally discussed the difference between subjective and objective opinion in this same video. I'm glad you enjoyed it, be happy you did!
Perfect clickbait title
@@alextoschi2242 But he said he really didn't like Ponyo and it got a 7. He said if he was being subjective than Ponyo would have gotten a 3. How does Marnie have enough problems to be considered a "bad" movie - wasting time and being fairly dull? It certainly wasn't the first time I watched it. Or the third.
Idk man Children slowly dying for two hours made me cry in class
did you watch the movie in class?
i wanna know too so imma put this reply in here
I watched it in my free periods.
@@Luiz-jz3dw yeah. My freshman year of highschool. It was the end of the year and I was done with my class so I was watching movies on my laptop

@@caoilte8097 HOW COULD YOU??!?!!?! I GREW UP ON PONYO!!!!
Ocean Waves: Your high-school crush is actually your male best friend.
Idk, but I felt like “When Marnie Was There” was more gayish than Ocean Waves. I mean, yeah, Marnie turned out to be Anna’s Grandma, with Anna taking the role of her Grandfather, but still. That rowing scene was absolutely gay.
@@rattatouilletherat the interesting thing about this is you can potentially read the "gay" vibes between Marnie and Anna as parental, such as how Marnie teaches and holds Anna while rowing. For someone unfamiliar it could look like childhood crush, but on rewatch it could look like parental guidance. Them two dancing is another example of how it could look more parental than love depending on how you choose to read it. These scenes are shot in such a way that both interpretations feel valid, or at least I think so.
I will say, however, that Ocean Waves feels like an unapologetically gay movie. It's fantastic, especially considering it was likely accidental lol. I definitely feel like this was the more gay movie of the two, but that's just me. I understand why people wouldn't like Ocean Waves, since it's arguably a pretty boring movie, but the subtext is what makes the movie, at least for me. Analysing the gay themes is really interesting.
@@AshuriAikawa Your interpretation is more serious and makes more sense than this initial one I had.
I suppose the line between “crush” and maternal figure was blurred in this movie, and to good effect.
Finally, someone remembers the Return of the Cat and Pompoko exist!!
They're so overlooked, it's ridiculous...
Pom Poko is one of my favorites. Probably second favorite, right after Spirited Away and right above EarthSea.
The Cat Returns was very fun too and I like it.
Baron, best character.
I know! I loooooove Cat Returns and I'm so glad it's in his three
I like Pom Poko mostly, but you have to remember that for Western audiences, it has a certain... unusual controversial aspect that the creators swing around the whole movie and is kind of hard to ignore as it just hangs there
Supershadow301
The Cat Returns really is underrated and Whisper of the heart was great. Pompoko was really fun to watch too.
Holy fuck someone's actually acknowledging The Cat Returns for once, somebody pinch me I must be dreaming.
I love all the Ghibli movies, but The Cat Returns has a special place in my heart. It got my younger sister into Ghibli. She fell in love with it when we watched it on TV together, and hasn't stopped talking about it since. I remember her freaking out when I got it for her birthday years later.
It's nice to see someone else recognising how cute and whimsical it is. Nice video as always Jello!
Skull_Latte The Cat Returns is the first anime film I saw. Watch it again recently and wow.
Skull_Latte same. It was the second Ghibli movie I ever saw and cats are my favorite animals so it is one of my favorite movies ever.

@@Gh0stty_ you know art is not only ment to be funny and exiting, takahata's film are not ment to please you. there are not made for entertainment but to make you think with the use of different stories. Most of his works are kinda "boring" also because they are ment to so. if you focus on the artistic part and meaning of the film you will be able to enjoy it, but to do so you have to be kinda intelligent which is not for everybody. remember art is not ment to put you in the confort zone, it has to punch you right in the face when you don't see it comming.
sameeee marnie was there is so good to me
He was right about the “Kiki’s delivery service” comment, the English dub really is that good

I watched the Spanish dub... (not sure if it was Spain Spanish or Mexican Spanish though...)
@Arturo Ayala
How was it in the Spanish dub?
@rattatouille m. rat I don’t remember, it’s been like 4 years ever since I watched it back in 2017...
The problem is, he recommended the uncut English dub, which directly goes against Miyazaki’s choices in dialogue and storytelling in a way. Most current releases cut out the inappropriately added lines.
*number 3 has sounds from Kiki taking off for the first time in Kiki's delivery service*
me: oh, so number 3 is Kiki's delivery service
*number 3 isn't Kiki's delivery service*

I tried to watch this with my girlfriend but just seeing ballsack in every single frame ended any enjoyment for her so we only got 10 minutes in
Laputa is my favorite, people say its "too long" but I say its just right, it uses the time for character development and fights well and uses the free space inbetween as breathing room to not exhaust the viewer

I was so happy when I was watching it cause it was a major part of my childhood,I almost cried.
Ponyo love sosuke!
The Cat Returns was my childhood! 😺😻😸🐱🐈🐈🐈
Fun fact! Reiko Yoshida (the writer of The Cat Returns) also wrote the manga Tokyo Mew Mew, and got one of the movies she did the screenplay for the stamp of approval from the Dalai Lama.

What do you have against pineapples, buddy?
He just took too long to eat a pineapple.
Hi
Pineapples are evil.
I think it has to do with that movie, Only yesterday had a really long scene about the girl's family buying and eating a pineapple since it was pretty rare.
SPOILERS:
They didn't like the pineapple, I think it was because it was still green and they didn't even knew how to eat it.
PINEAPPLES
Whisper Of The Heart is a movie I truly feel is too underrated. It is absolutely without question a slice of life movie, and it is rather slow. But I don't mind that, as the visuals are positively stunning of 90's Japan. The story is very relatable to me, as someone who didn't really get amazing grades, didn't like school, and wanted to do something. The idea of trying your hardest to do what you want to do in life, that it is not easy but hard work, and that you'll suffer on the road to success is a really important one for people with little direction like myself. If anything, I need to rewatch the movie to remember the importance of focus in life, to find direction and create meaning. It's a great story for those who have hobbies or ambitions in things that can get caught in ruts, or for those who know what they want to do but hear all the people saying not to pursue it. To take the leap of faith, but commit to it wholeheartedly in the rough patches. Love the movie.
Also loved From Up On Poppy Hill. Howl's Moving Castle is a blast, but read the book after you watch the movie then come back. It both makes the book better for Ghibli's visuals in your mind but also the movie better as you'll understand where the movie wanted to go but didn't. The movie is still a fever dream, and I prefer the book in general. Now excuse me, I'm gonna get ready to Merry Go Round Of Life.
Watched it. Think its cool. Not the best.
When Marnie was There is one of my favourites. It may be because I relate to the character a lot more. I have social anxiety and struggle with mental health, so watching her struggle but then overcome those things was just really amazing.
I actually adore When Marnie was There and Only Yesterday, and both movies have made me cry. Characters like Anna really resonate with me, and Only Yesterday's overall feel of nostalgia is so comforting to me. Of course it's all subjective but I'm surprised other people feel so strongly.
Hehe I love Only Yesterday, it feels like a nostalgia simulator for some reason?? Like I was longing for the Japanese countryside even though I've literally never been there!! I think some movies have merits that aren't necessarily story based you know? Only Yesterday doesn't have a lot happening but it's still valid to enjoy it because of that feeling it gives you I think~!
Yeah, those two along with Whisper of the Heart are my top three. I hate seeing them ranked so low, but everyone has their own tastes I guess
While I understand while other people might dislike Only Yesterday and When Marnie Was There, I personally really enjoyed them. They were good movies for me because I related to the main characters... and I have a lot of patience so I don't mind slow-paced slice-of-life plots (in some cases.. lol).
Whisper of the Heart...I literally have written two essays in school about how much I love that film and how well it balances its themes with its story. The pacing in my opinion is one of the best in any film I’ve ever seen. However the resonation I get from it stems from her trying to follow what she’s passionate about in life and doubting her own skills. Probably because I’m an artist and I watched it when I was first getting into art...but I think the pacing at least is objectively perfect, and the director (who died shortly after its release) actually did a better job I feel than if Hayao Miyazaki directed it. The slower pace really adds to it and every scene fits each other in tone.
I first saw it at a Ghibli film festival and it's still one of my favorites
I just watched it and its honestly now one of my favourite ghibli movies
I still think about the “raw emerald has to become cut and polished, and even then, there might be even more gems in the ore that aren’t seen yet” almost daily.
Lazy Fox Plays I just think about the whole movie collectively all the time 😅. It really is my favorite film ever.
It's a good movie but its ending comes out of no where.
Only Yesterday feels like a movie you'd want to watch on a sunny summer's day, alone, because it seems like a slice of life kind of movie, and you want an excuse to eat a lot of snacks and watch something more casual that won't demolish your heart like what those american bomber planes did to Seita's hometown from Grave of the Fireflies. 😭
Only Yesterday demolished my brain with how boring it is.
Me the first 10 min into the cats return: wait hollup...so the cats have parades and princes and bodyguards and are magical and this human girl has to mary a freaking cat?
Me towards the end with the biggest grin on my face: I LOVE THIS MOVIE
1-spirited away
2-howls moving castle
3-the cat returns
4-grave of the fireflies
5- I cant pick they are all good!!!!
@Yamete Kudasai yassss
*HAAAAAAM!!!!!!*
Tales from earth sea and mononoke are both good, but earth sea just doesn't make sense no matter how many times you watch it. Mononokes characters are irritatingly dumb. They always make the obvious wrong move. They both good tho.
I honestly could not agree more
-Spirited Away
-Laputa Castle In The Sky
-The Secret World Of Arrietty
-Whisper Of The Heart
-Kiki's Delivery Service
-From Up On Poppy Hill
-Princess Mononoke
-My Neighbor Totoro
-Ponyo
No matter what others say, I just love Marnie. It always makes me cry.
I mean, Hailee Steinfeld voices the dub, so I'll watch it once.
Marnie is a very emotionally pure movie
Agreed
The movie i have watched:
1- howl moving castle
2-spirited away
3- the cat returns
4- kiki service delivery
5- whisper of the heart
6- my neighbour totoro
7- arrietty
8- laputa : castle in the sky
But i really wanted to see princess monokoe...
Niceee. Mononoke will be worth your time!👌
Go see it! Its amazing
Watch “The Castle of Cagliostro”, it was Hayao Miyazaki’s debut and if you’re lucky you may just get hooked on Lupin III material like me
ok seriously tho WHY IS NO ONE TALK ABOUT THE CAT RETURNS,, IT'S SOOOOO UNDERRATED
ITS THE 3RD BEST ONE I LOVE IT SOOO MUCH
“whatsup babe”
- King of the Cats
Jello: I cannot recommend Only Yesterday to anyone.
(Checks Rotten Tomatoes)
100% fresh. The irony.
Edit: (Just for clarification, I’m not agreeing or disagreeing with Jello or saying that I think the movie is good just because of the Rotten Tomatoes score or anything. I haven’t seen the movie personally. I’m just commenting that it’s ironic that the one Ghibli film that he thought was terrible managed to earn the rare status of being approved by every critic that has had their review of it added to Rotten Tomatoes.)
GenericCZcamsComment Channel The movie Cam has 94% on RT so there's that
It’s so chill, it’s the movie version of lofi songs to study/relax to
@@happyllama1160 Good way to describe it. It's very relaxing... Not something that I'd want to rewatch a million times, but I've seen it once and really enjoyed it. I found the main character and her story relatable.
Exactly, only 2 movies were given 100% by RT: Only Yesterday and Tale of Princess Kaguya
Only Yesterday is literally the only one I’ve ever recommended to someone lmao
I watched Only Yesterday the first time when I was in high school, I thought it was extremely boring and pointless. Then Netflix starting having Ghibli movies recently so I decided to watch Only Yesterday again and oh my god it was so heart-warming!!! I felt totally different the second time round, maybe I'm older, things have changed in my life and I appreciate the simple things more. It's now one of my favourites I'm so surprised! (Btw the pineapple scene is pretty funny)
Maybe jello is just uncultured
@@rowel_patdu6551 Indeed
Now you're my new virtual friend
Welp, now most of it is on HBO Max
honestly it is a boring story which i do not like taiko i think her life was the most normal life i have ever seen and she does nothing cool her mother says she isn’t normal but her life is literally so normal. sometimes life has highs sometimes it doesn’t
My 3 favourite is:
1.Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. This film for me is about connection, that people once had with nature, but lost it. It's very close to what I see nowadays. I feel so connected with Nausicaa's pacifism and empathy.
2. Spirited away. Very emotional and extremely beautiful movie.
3. My Neighbor Totoro. It's also about nature and how people communicate with it, often using religion, about dealing with hard times in our lives, especially when you're child.
When Marnie Was There is a beautiful film. It's not like most Studio Ghibli films but it went straight to my heart and I practically had tears in my eyes at the end when I saw it in the theatre. My favorite one is Howl's Moving Castle and I read the books and saw that the plot was vastly different, but I don't mind.
The cat returns is so underrated but its also such a sweet movie
the baron is the coolest most stylish character ghibli has ever done.
Seriously. I wish Baron was real.
Funny Bunny she wanted to fuck the cat
This is how you get furry weaboos. I can confirm. Still cute tho.
It's always been my favorite Ghibli movie, most likely because it was the first one I watched.
That moment when only yesterday is your favourite ghibli movie.....that’s okay man it’s subjective
Louise TheSim No Only Yesterday sucks
@@One-eq7bg oh yeah sure, you get to decide that his opinion is wrong because you disagree with him, that's totally not bigotry /s
I saw it recently, and although it has good themes, nice animation, and good use of certain visual techniques, I also thought it was...well, boring. 😂 There really isn't a plot or entertainment value.
Could you explain why you like it so much? I'm very interested to hear because this film got amazing reviews, and when I watched it I could tell that it was metaphorical and very deep, but I just didn't GET it.
I loved that movie too. It isnt my fav butit actually touched some themes that are close to me. The end was weird for me but I will never forget about this story.
agreed with most of the video but _When Marnie Was There_ did NOT deserve that
Yes! It's a beautiful movie and jello doesn't saw it
most of the video is for the nostalgia's sake obviously. He looks from the it has to be good perspective to the old films, praises them but disses the new films like kanye.
There are a lot of subtle hints scattered throughout the movie that explain Anna’s behavior. Like, some of the mfs in this comment section don’t seem to be able to pick up on any of it
@@rattatouilletherat so true
@@rattatouilletherat oh fancy you here, I read your huge paragraph on When Marie Was There in a reply section a couple minutes ago, it was really well said :)
Revisiting this I never knew how baddd some of these takes were, it worries me that people skipped really good movies because of this
Seriously! This video had me thinking Only Yesterday and When Marnie Was There were bad movies when it's absolutely not true
Ponyo was my first Ghibli movie, so it holds a rly special place in my heart as my favorite Ghibli movie. *BUT*.... Spirited away is a great choice for the number one slot. I love that movie a whole lot.
Raencloud ponyo was my first too (or maybe it was the borrowers ghibli adaptation)
I don't like spirited away. I don't know why but I don't enjoy it.
The only way I could explain it is that I was forced to watch it too many times.
Pelzebub 666 Yup, being forced to watch a movie will make it less enjoyable. That's the reason I hate The Little Mermaid 😅
Yeah its one of me first Ghibli I remember watching!
same
Did he just gave Grave of the fireflies a 7??
one of the greatest ( and the absolute saddest ) war movies ever made
That movie is compared to schindler's list,
Uncultured man, that one.
I mean they did in a way glorify a story that in reality is even more depressing than the adaptation
It reminded me of Schindler's list when I watched it too.
One of the only movies I have ever watched that can make me cry every time.
@@francisshimizu3591 dude havent u watch coco??
The Wind Rises is easily my favorite movie in general, it's just beautiful in every way. It feels alive and real
Marnie, Poppy Hill, and Only Yesterday are movies I did NOT think I'd enjoy.
I actually really enjoyed the pineapple scene, I found it hilarious, and it just set the mood for the family dynamic, and specifically how they treat our main character.
Poppy Hill is incredibly freakin' charming and proof that the Miyazakis can make a great film if they work _together._
I have a lot to say about When Marnie Was There.
I really love this movie. Yeah, the lesbo bait n switch is unfortunate(but honestly the twist is really great and I cried my damn eyes out), but there's a lot more to this movie than what was said. I love Anna quite a bit, and I feel for her plight. I was very similar as a teen, where I couldn't make friends, couldn't bring myself to express myself, felt like I was I was. . . Not a burden, but, pointless to everyone around me. The few things I was good at were brushed aside because they got in the way of what people thought I needed to be good at (let's just say my school sucked ass and desite being marginally smart I struggled a lot with retaining anything or doing incredibly boring schoolwork). I guess it's just easier to understand Anna when you've been in her shoes.
The wellfare bitterness makes a lot of sense when actually watching the movie, and the emotional beats punch me right in the gut. Probably one of my favorite settings of a Ghibli movie. This, along with Whisper of the Heart, sits up there at the top as two of my favorites. One of the reasons being they were stories that I desperately _needed._
Welp im a bit sad about “When Marnie was there” since i feel like its not a very known ghibli movie and i think its really good :/ but other than that, i can somewhat agree on the majority of the rest ;)
Same I loved When Marnie was there! It made me cry 3 times
Same same same same
IKRR
I thought it was stupid how cold and mean she was just because her parents get welfare checks. Who cares 🤷
Idk, but I felt like the hate the movie got was very misplaced. In the almost two hours that it lasts, it really only shows a sliver of what her life has been like.
When the girls from school came to drop off her things, when they were talking to Auntie about her demeanor at school, I could kind of pick up on their ill will towards her, because of her antisocial behavior.
Her attitude towards her parents, feeling like they abandoned her might stem from them being young and work oriented. The abandonment issues also seem to have stemmed from the death of her grandmother, and the subsequent placement of her in foster care (again.) Her grandma protected her for 2 years, gave her stability, and gave her value, and it was all swept up from under her, not long after her parents death.
For gods sake, people at her Grandmother’s funeral were talking about her like she was a nuisance and a problem. She was like some sick puppy that got in the way of things.
Her experience in foster care must’ve been very cold and impersonal, as she was a ward of the state, and not actually valued much by others. By then, she must’ve known what happened to her parents. Coupled with her surroundings, it made her feel worthless. While being put into her “Auntie’s” care might have been refreshing for a while, the stigma she’d have gotten from her peers for being a foster child would’ve weighed heavily on her, and made her feel out of place.
For a lot of the people in the comment section, the fact that she feels so hurt by the fact that her auntie gets checks from the state in order to care for her seems very ill placed, but from a certain point of view, and with some context, it makes sense. For most of her life, the people around her viewed her as a problem and a responsibility, not as a person to love and care for. The times she did recieve that love were cut short by tragedy, which for an impressionable young child would make them feel undeserving. She feels like the one person that is supposed to care for her is only doing so for monetary gain, and benefit, not because she loves and cares about her. (Also, on a side note, she might’ve recieved ill treatment for being of mixed ancestry. From my knowledge, Marnie’s Dad was British, though the mom is kind of a mystery. Anna had features that most Japanese people really don’t have, like blue eyes. Japan is a very homogeneous country, with very little immigration, and very little mixing between other ethnicities. The outburst she had at the fat girl during the Moon festival kind of hints at this.)
I’m sorry for this long rant. I really enjoyed the film, and I feel like I picked up on some stuff that others didn’t really notice. I probably made some mistake along the way though.
Completely with you on ‘Princess Mononoke’ - I absolutely loved how that film treated both the side of the forest and the metalworkers in a such a nuanced and multifaceted way. No bad guys; just different folks with different people and things to protect. Just like real life.
I must say, I was surprised to see ‘The Red Turtle’ so far down the list. That film shook me in ways I can’t really put into words. I’m not the most stoic, manly man in the world but even so it’s rare for a film to leave me crying for hours on end after watching it, and even rarer for a film to leave me lying awake at night thinking it over. I thought the stroke of genius here was in the simplicity and ambiguity of how the story was told, so you can paint yourself onto the story. It was a film that that I knew from the first time watching it would never, ever leave me; beautiful, and heart-wrenching, and well within my all-time top 10 favorite films.
"No bad guys" *Emperor Hasano intensifies*
xD
Mononoke's my favorite movie ever too dude c':
Nausicaä is my favorite Ghibli film, and then probably Whisper of the Heart or Princess Mononoke second. 💕
Nausicaä is such an underrated Ghibli film in my opinion. I wish people appreciated it more. 😓
Only Yesterday is one of the most underrated animated pictures ever and is amongst my favorite Ghibli movies.
“That dude sure f*cked that turtle” is quite literally the most hilarious line I have ever heard.
I'm glad im not the only one who adores The Cat Returns
I’m soo happy you included castle of cagliostro. Lupin the third is an underrated gem
Lupin is so good i saw it last night would recommend to anyone
My favourites are definitely whisper of the heart, when marnie was there, and spirited away. A lot of people haven’t seen whisper of the heart and when Marnie was there and I really wish people would appreciate it more
"Castle in the Sky" will always be my favorite.
Still wonder to this day why they cast James Van Der Beek for the English dub though...
He did pretty good, sounds a bit too old but he totally captures Pazu in my opinion, plus Mark Hamill as Muska makes up for any grievances.
Oh definitely! I love the Beek, but he's always the stand-out odd choice of that movie, haha.
That movie I loved so much and honestly it’s arguably my top favorite Miyazaki movie, that or Mononoke. As for Van Der Beek, Yeah he sounded a bit too old but I didn’t mind it and still thought he did great and Mark Hamill as Muska was perfect.
Think is he had that kind of young sounding voice put on, so I never actually noticed it was an older actor until I was older.
It's not my favorite, but it does have my single favorite action scene(s) from Miyazaki. The entire sequence in the first act that starts with the street brawl, spirals out of control, and turns into a madcap train chase. It's amazing.
Too bad I just could never buy into the whole "We have to destroy Laputa to save it" thing. I'd say it's by far the most tonally uneven of Miyazaki's movies. It's like he was trying to just do a simple shonen story, but couldn't quite pull it off and so it wavers between his usual environmentalism and more standard pewpew anime action that seems a bit out-of-place in his overall filmography as an independent filmmaker.
I'll be honest, I loved Only Yesterday, and its contemplative, nostalgic tone. It's like the highlight reel of every slice-of-life manga.
Okay, could not disagree harder about Only Yesterday. It is a bit, niche, but it's such a wonderful evocation of several recent eras in Japan's history. Also, the pinapple scene is hilarious! It's not just that she doesn't like it, it's that she went so far out of her way to get her dad to buy this expensive foreign fruit, and then she tries to soldier through, pretending to like it because she feels that's her duty. But if you look, the pinapple was super green--it was unripe. And so it was bitter as f@#k, and you can see that in her face. Sorry. Rant over.
Only Yesterday is my favorite Ghibli movie by far, which just goes to show how amazing Takahata was as a filmmaker and writer, because he also did Kaguya and Grave of the Fireflies. Only Yesterday is a contemplation of what you wanted as a child, and how those desires can be torn down unintentionally. I related. The pineapple that Taeko begged for, a fruit that she never had fresh because it was so expensive, and she wants so badly for her family to enjoy something that she loves, because up until this point in the movie, they don't share her enjoyment for things like writing (I wish you were a girl who ate all of her food instead of a girl who just wrote good papers), vacations (her family finds literally any reason not to go with her, leaving her with her grandmother), and even afterwards, the acting (even if her family is excited about it at first, the second her father shuts it down, no one even puts up a fight. This opportunity that Taeko was excited for, squashed without a second thought). She knows her family loves her, but she wants them to appreciate what she loves as well, and they haven't done that. So, the pineapple. They cut a green, unripe pineapple - unaware that its unripe - and they all sit around the table like its an important dinner instead of a single triangle of pineapple on a plate, giving what Taeko thinks is the proper reverence to this pineapple she begged for. The taste it and they don't like it. They try to make excuses for not liking it, but in the end, they stop trying. Her sisters give up first, saying that the banana was better anyway. Then her father, mother. They all give their pieces to her, because in her attempt to save her attempt at approval, she says that she enjoys the pineapple. She doesn't like it at all. She's disappointed. She looks silly, like a child. And later, during the enamel purse debacle, thats exactly the opposite of what she wants.
TL:DR - Takahata was a really good filmmaker, obviously.There's a reason why the three highest-rated ghibli films are his. There was a reason for the pineapple scene, and even if you don't like the movie, its a little sad that you just brushed it off as them eating pineapple for ten minutes.
I think my favourite Ghibli movie is Howl’s Moving Castle.
Zap Apple a really good one
Alex Stilgoe ikr xD
yayyy
Elizabeth H 👌 (I am Zap Apple btw, new account)
Zap Apple AHHH I LOVE THAT ONEE
Howl's Moving Castle is my fav movie off all time because it has everything I ask for in the movie- Romance, humor, fantasy, adventure, enjoyable and intriguing characters, epic visuals. I watch this movie once a year at least (which is a lot for me since I am not a movie person).
I kind of wish you had mention the animated Rankin/Bass movies since the animation studio they used would go on to be a huge part of Studio Ghibli. Taking about The Last Unicorn, Flight of Dragons, The Hobbit, and Return of the King (I think that's all). It's okay though.
Zodia195 too bad good animeshin is dead
Zodia195 If you liked the movie, you REALLY should read the book
You know; my favourite movie was song of the sea, then howl's moving castle, and now I'm at a point in my life where I'm just like, "what even is a favourite list?"
RIGHT!?!?!?!
See, I read the book first, and my immediate thought was "...That's not how Calcifer was described." still a great adaption nonetheless.
Someone else that enjoyed the Cat Returns!!!! I feel like that one is underrated, it’s really cute and fun!
It's my favorite Ghibli film so far.
But why dosent anyone talk about how good lupin the third is its amazing and I think everyone should see it
FINALLY SOMEONE TALKS ABOUT "THE CAT RETURNS"
ikr? Why does no one talk about them...
It's one of my favorites.
I have fond memories of it.
It’s because someone else directed it so they are like, rrrrrrawr it’s not Miyazaki!
I was always a bit iffy when the fan-favorite ship is Haru x Baron. Don't get me wrong, Baron is awesome, and they have great chemistry, but there is also the fact that Haru is like 14 and Baron is ageless and the fact that Haru has to leave her loved ones behind in order to make that work.
I remember seeing Ponyo when I was like, 7. I was so confused.
Ava In Currant Red same with me, I loved Princess Mononoke but didn't understand what was happening in that fish film but my dad liked it lol
I was 16 when I saw it, and I was still confused.
Ava In Currant Red exactly. I never understood it until I rewatched it recently. Now I love it. PONYO LOVES SOSUKE
i was like four when i saw it and like damn all i remember is a girl that would like shape shift into a frog??
watching ponyo confusedly as a child is the universal experience
'When Marnie was there' is one of the best Ghibli movies I've seen. They were never "gay" for the other one. They felt an absolute, unconditional, ever lasting love for each other. Besides, Anna is re living her grandmother's memories, which at times, are actual memories of her grandfather, that is why Marnie calls Anna "Kazuhiko". Marnie felt the same love that she felt for her husband towards Anna, which is the same love a mother feels for a child or a partner... it's just love expressed in different ways. Her granddaughter was what kept her sane too, so they really meant everything to each other.
Besides, Anna was never a bitch. Dealing with social anxiety, depression and the feeling that you were left alone by the people who are supposed to always be there for you will make you see the world differently and will surely affect your relationships.
Sorry for the long post, but I think you missed the whole point of the relationship between Marnie and Anna and the movie itself... The movie is beautiful and a perfect story of how the people that care about us are always with us; they never leave
Can I copy paste this? I will show this to people who misunderstood the movie and its message
For having only seen three studio ghibli movies, hearing, “may all your bacon burn” was hilarious to me.
Me explaining some reactions to Ghibli films badly:
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind - Lord of the Rings meets Star Wars TFA meets the Age of Strife from Warhammer 40k.
Porco Rosso - You will end this movie with a "wait it just ended?" but then have a craving for anything made out of tomatoes and olive oil and can only listen to Italian music.
Princess Mononoke - This is the Zelda game you will never have.
Kiki's Delivery Service - You can finally make one of the world's cheapest cosplay second to the "I am Gundam" cosplay from 2007.
Grave of the Fireflies - You finally accept that Ghibli is not like the kiddy friendly Disney.
The Cat Returns - As a kid, you thought it was cute. As an adult, you may question yourself if you have just initated a fetish for furry transformation.
Castle in the Sky - This is literally just Star Wars: A New Hope but...steampunk...I guess?
My Neighbour Totoro - In the Japanese audio, you think Mei is adorable. In the English Dub, will you even consider having kids if they would scream alot and have the big brain power of a fruit fly like Disney Mei?
Ponyo - Finding Nemo is overrated.
Spirited Away - Japanese Acid
When Marnie was there - You will never look at your Grandma the same way again.
The Tale of Princess Kaguya - a.) You will either think that Kaguya's parents never deserved her and it was completely justified that mah boi Buddha took her or
b.) (like me) you completely hate Buddha and his moon posse and will always explain the ending as "Kaguya kidnapped by mufuking Buddha" and you will continue your eternal hate for Buddha until Ghibli decides to do sequels with fanservice.
Tales from Earthsea - Gandalf vs ASMR Willem Defoe while Frodo has an existential crisis and facial muscle disability and I guess there are also dragons.
Secret World of Arriety - Little Tom Holland has a small people fetish.
Franken Waifu this is great! I honestly never thought of mononoke like that, and I want a Zelda game like that now. I also agree on princess kaguya, I was so pissed when it ended with her being taken away.
Franken Waifu lmfaoooo this genuinely made me laugh
*This is the kind of stuff I signed up for*
Ahh I love me some good Japanese acid🤣
Actually, Nausicäa was influenced very much by Dune (the book). The book also inspired Star Wars, so it makes sense that you put the movie there. I love all three (Dune, Star Wars, and Nausicäa, by the way.)
Honestly I’d have to say that “Grave of the Fireflies” is my favorite. I watched it with my two friends, and at the end I was bawling my eyes out. I get that it’s children dying for 2 hours, but I really loved the movie and how Setia loved and cared for his little sister. I honestly wouldn’t have cried if I hadn’t compared me and my little sister to them. I just thought “What would I do in this situation? How would I care for my sister? How would we survive?” And I believe that’s what got me the most when I watched the movie.
Grave of the Fireflies made me cry. I wouldn't say it's my fave Ghibli film, and there is a definite shift on tone from Miyazaki's films, but it was a good film I'd watch again. Not as much as Spirited Away, My Neighbour Totoro or Princess Mononoke etc but every so often when I haven't watched it for a while I'll grab the popcorn and the tissues and go for it.
Same tbh. I think those of us who have younger siblings can relate on a much more personal level about that movie. I cried so freaking much because I could FEEL the emotions and despair of the main character, and I couldn't imagine myself in that situation, it affected me a lot ^^"
Yeah same I have a kid sister (well she's not a kid anymore but there's a 10+ year gap between us) and the film really resonated with me and is probably why I cried half as much as I did at the end.
I felt regret while watching the movie because I know what would happen to them and when it did happen... wow I didnt expect to hit me so hard. I loved the movie and I could relate to the main character much (because I have to take care of 2 siblings and 4 cousins) and
Elijah Richards tbh it’s the only one i’ve watched and i vaguely remember it
Remember, kids: it's perfectly fine if he doesn't like your favorite movie.
Also, responding to someone not liking something by telling them that they "missed the point" is incredibly condescending. People can understand the point of a movie and still find it boring. People can understand the meaning of someone's character arc and still think it wasn't done well. There is also no need for him to say what he thinks in a better or nicer way; it's not like he's calling ya'll stupid for liking something he doesn't. He's just talking about movies and saying what he thinks about them. I get that it's hard to hear someone else say your favorite movie sucks, but please remember to be respectful. I don't entirely agree with his opinion on Pom Poko, but that doesn't mean I'm going to passive-agressively snap at him about it. That's all. ☺
I watched only yesterday... well yesterday, and it's top 5 Ghibli films for me, could even be top 3! Editing in this is amazing, I love the weaving of the past and present together. I also feel like there are many purposeful animation choices throughout, even though they are all subtle. I get it, different opinions, different perspective, but I find it a little sad that you don't recommend it to anyone, because I think it's something many of us could get something out of it.
My first Ghibli film wasn't Princess Mononoke or Spirited Away. It was Ponyo.
The Legendary Super Degenerate same here
The Legendary Super Degenerate same I think, can't remember
The Legendary Super Degenerate mine was Arriety, then Ponyo
Mine was a monstrosity called "Warriors of the Wind," which is *Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind* with about 20 minutes removed, the story completely screwed up, and terrible English dubbing. It was basically the first Ghibli film that made it to the US (back in the mid-1980's), and Miyazaki had absolutely no control over what they did to it. He never made that mistake again.
The Legendary Super Degenerate Same. We watched it in class.
I personally loved "When Marnie Was There" because it combined a good mixture of character emotion along with an amazing storyline, and I greatly encourage people to watch it if they want that pure ghibli feeling.
Finally someone who has vision that appreciates The Cat Returns!
Finally! someone that appreciates The Cat Returns!
Surprisingly I loved Only Yesterday. I feel like related to a lot of it. I enjoyed the nostalgic parts as well as the simple easy going parts of her adult life. But I understand how people can be turned off by it. Very interesting to see you view :)
Agreed. I saw it as a story of introspection and self discovery over a specific critique of Japanese modernization like Pom Poko. The story's themes are woven in well between the two time periods and there are certain liberties allowed because of the animation format that you can't do in live action. I personally find it odd that people are put off by "uncanny" moments in film like "talking for eight minutes" when we all do this. I suppose when you're made aware of it, it's a bit jarring to some but we all have mundane moments and there can be growth in that.
Yeah if it wasn't for that movie I would've never gotten into the studio in the first place. The same goes for when marnie was there.
Its one of my favorite Ghibli movies! Its just refreshing and charming. I love putting it on as a nice background movie while I work.
AngelicSquid I’ll never look at that movie the same way again. Along with when Marnie was there. I gave this video a thumbs down
Isabel I gave this video a thumbs down For what he said about only yesterday And when Marnie was there too. 😡.
I actually enjoyed When Marnie Was There.

Yes! It’s a good movie!
i actually love it.
I genuinely think it's a brilliant movie, one of my favourites but that is definitely personal, I'd say it's more 'eh' as a piece of filmography - it was more gritty and realistic though in some forms which is why I love it so much!

Peaking the humor a little early there, aren’t we, Jello?
