Many Anime fans declared "Earwig and the Witch" as the WORST Studio Ghibli film for several reasons. Is it really the worst though? Well after watching all 25 films, thus far, I try my best to rank all their films from worst to best. This was a long and difficult task, but luckily I have Phantomstrider with me on this!

Up on poppy hill was the first ghibli movie I saw in theaters
I'm more a Toho/Godzilla Fan.
Also I'm a Huge Fan from Phantomstrider.
Arriety is too simple and Ponyo is too crazy for you? I love them both.
😁😁😁
My favorite is Totoro.😊
To me, Princess Momonoke's #1. Spirited Away is too overhyped and the fact that Miyazaki admits it's about Illegal Child Stuff, makes it less then Momonoke.
As someone who made his grandparents rent it for him several times until they had to illegal tape it from the video store. Thank you
It was an honour to be part of this massive project of yours, Robyn 😀 Thanks for offering me a chance to share my thoughts as well on some of my favourite animation of all time.
Crazy seeing you here on this channel love your work man 👍
Love your videos, PhantomStrider! :D
Hey Strider, are you planning to become a permanent member of Anime America?
Great to see you, also PhantomStrider what are your thoughts on Evangelion 3.0+1.0? I know that you said that you enjoyed mostly the first 2 rebuild movies, though I would like to hear your opinion on 3.0+1.0.
You guys were awesome ^^
Technically, Grave of the Fireflies did have a message: While many assume it's just an anti-war film, it was expressively told that it's a social commentary on how the Japanese goverment utterly failed to provide aid and protect their citizens during WW2, which made those same citizens to treat each other like crap.
The aunt wouldn't have been so mean if refugees she had nothing to do with weren't tossed at her doorstep, the doctor wouldn't have been criticized if there were the means to properly feed orphan children, the farmers and others wouldn't have given Seita so much shit if there weren't short on food. And by the time Seita was finally able to get some food that no one was gonna provide to them... it was too late for Setsuko.
The goverment had no problem into enlisting middle schoolers and sending them towards their deaths, but when it came to giving back to the children they were supposed to protect... they treated them as nothing but a burden.
Seita's pride didn't kill Setsuko in the end... neglicenge from the entire system around them did.
That was Ghibli's way of saying: "Goverment of Japan, if the time ever comes... you need to do better than back then."
Yeah during WW2, Japan's military was full of endless ego and pride. Even after the atomic bombings many in the military leadership still wanted to continue the war with the U.S thinking the can hold out against a invasion or more atomic bombs. But when the Emperor just wanted to end the war when it was clear they were not going to win, many of those very military leaders threaten to overthrow him in a coup and had him house arrest. But when they couldn’t convince the exhausted army and the Emperor managed to escape his house arrest, these leader all committed suicide. The whole event was referred to as the Kyujo incident.
@@brandonlyon730 Yeah as much as we all like to criticize the USA with its checkered history, though we should still continue to acknowledge that, it can be easy to overlook Japan’s atrocities and own messed up history due to the atomic bombings.
That’s not going to stop me from feeling bad for Japan’s severe losses but Imperial Japan was viewed as “evil” by many for a reason.
@@marcoa6319 Especially what they did to the Korean people.
@@brandonlyon730 And the Philippines as well as Southeast Asia.
@@marcoa6319 Cue Ace Ventura's "War is hell" indeed.
Okay, we need to have words.
To find the message of Grave of the Fireflies, and understand why it was so harsh, we need to discuss Isao Takahata’s actual intention with the film, which is the reason he felt the life story of a World War 2 survivor needed to be told when it did. If you’re looking through IMDB trivia on this movie, you might find a little summary about his actual intention, which was to convey that Seita and Setsuko were living a failed life due to their isolation from society, and if you were to look a little deeper into his words, you’ll find that this message was specifically tailored to the youth of Japan during the late eighties, who were experiencing a rise in crime and juvenile delinquency like no other in the country’s history. The economy was booming, and the younger generation had no respect or willingness to understand what the older generation had to go through to create that bubble for them, and a lot of them were making the same kinds of choices that Seita had... Fuck those uptight geezers, we can make it on our own! And just like with Seita, this attitude didn’t really work out for anyone, as it led to crime, violence, gangs... This is the crime wave that inspired the Akira, if you can believe it.
Takahata’s message to the youth of his generation was that periods like this don’t last forever. You don’t understand where the good times you’re living in came from, you don’t know what people had to live through to establish them, and if you take them for granted instead of working to preserve them, they’ll go away. This is why Seita and Setsuko, as spirits, look out over the horizon of the modern cityscape. This is why the symbolism of fireflies, and all of the decisions that Seita made, were so important. Because Takahata was right, and just a few short years later, the Japanese economy crashed, resulting in a depression that famously saw the nation’s GDP drop by nearly one trillion dollars. This movie is thus firmly a product of it’s times, but on the other hand, the story is told in such a way that it’s somehow still timeless, as the ideas it presents can be applied to any situation where one person, or a group of people, let their pride get the better of them and refuse to accept help.
I'm a sucker for Howl's, personally. It's just so cozy and imaginative, like a warm blanket in visual form.
My personal favourite is Kiki's Delivery Service. If I could, I would DEFINITELY watch it again! 😊 I have seen Princess Monoke and it was really good.
I can't separate my childhood love for kiki. Ive watched it like 4 times a year since 2003 😂
@@buttholeweeb621 watched it again for my birthday this year and still holds up, though man the main boy was way sleezier/stalkerish than I remember
@@NinjaTyler yeah for sure its not perfect! Im not in love with tombo either. But y'know. The movie overall makes me remember my childhood
@@buttholeweeb621 tombo is my only negative (well aside from wanting MORE lol) he's the only thing that makes me ever think about fast forwarding one of my all time favorite films
bro I've got good news, Miyazaki gave you permission to watch Kiki again
It should be noted that in Howl's Moving Castle, the Witch of the Wastes did NOT "turn Sophie into an old woman". She cursed her to take the appearance the age she was acting.
Sophie behaved like a old woman, nagging Howl for not being grown up enough, so she took the form of an old woman to reflect that.
When she embraced her feelings for Howl, she then took the form of a young woman. It is a visual showcase of her actual character growth.
thank you for explaining this. i've seen the movie a bunch of times and i never quite got the curse part. like i understood the gist of it but at the same time it wasn't really connecting in my mind how she would go back and forth from old to young in some scenes and how everyone else saw her as the old lady no matter how she acted
It’s worth noting, in the book, Sophie has magic of her own, and subconsciously recasts the curse on herself cause of her own insecurities.
Huh. That makes a lot more sense now I think of it
Doesn’t it show if she is insecure? Whenever she stands up for herself she becomes younger
With the Wind Rises, once I found out the wife was fictional, I took her and her part in the movie as symbolic of the more innocent pre-war Japan and her passing as Japan's loss of its old ways and innocence to the war and modernization. On one hand, he created something amazing, on the other, it was the end of the Japan he knew and loved.
Interesting little trivia, but the man who ruined Jiro's dreams would make an amazing sort of inverted Ghibli film, himself
If you ever read anything about African charity work, might have noticed the name Sasakawa come up. The one who founded the continent's most successful humanitarian charity is, in fact, *a war criminal!*
He was a yakuza crime boss and leading member of the Diet at the time (with so much invisible influence he was nicknamed "the shadow man"), and one of the foremost voices in launching the invasion and conquest of Manchuria, as well as the owner of most military airfields used.
After the war Ryoichi and his co-conspirator, future "Godfather" Yoshio Kodama, were so absolutely loaded they managed to bribe their way out of any punishment
While touring his American holdings in the 60s, he met a _soon to be pretty important _*_peanut farmer_* who converted the former warlord into a true "peacenik" and extinguished his xenophobic disgust of non Japanese
He started financing *european* scientists with grandiose plans the community turned away from like *Norman Borlaug* and his organisation is responsible for the extinction of dozens of deadly parasites, including having financed the Carter Foundation and its decades long battle against the Guinea Worm. What a turnaround!
The circumstances of his freedom might be a bit shady, but he's probably saved 20 times the lives the war he started took (low estimate *350k* to unethical scientific experimentation and biological warfare, so making a go at atoning for *that* is no small feat), not to mention the continued benefits into mankind's future from completely eradicating certain diseases. From waging war *with* viruses, to waging war *on* them. Doing a deep dive into the circumstances of his philosophical change would be an incredible film (or even series of them, it's quite a long era), I bet
@@Poglavnit_Pferdefuhrer I am happy to have learned this. Yet another reason to love Jimmy Carter.
From what I understand, it is based on a fictional biopic, rather than actual history
@@TheAnalyticalEngine Which wouldn't change the interpretation of the character and their relationship, just that it had been done before in an earlier movie. Unless it was different in the biopic. Was it?
The Cat Returns is my favorite. Its so zany and charming.
Same
Please don’t spoil it for me
Loved it
You’re damn skippy Whisper Of The Heart is top ten. Incredibly under-rated film. Nothing is as wholesome as when the three nice old geezers find the young uns playing Country Roads and proceed to drop some beats.
Yeah that was nice scene but poppy hill at least had a story.
@@piotrdylak4736 Nah, Whisper of the Heart is a better version of Poppy Hill
*bars and yeah whisper of the heart is better than prince of egypt and both spiderverse movies don’t @ me
Grave of the Fireflies: the childrens' suffering was masterfully made as a very heavy (musically and emotionally) death metal song called 'The Day You Died' by Sweden's Arch Enemy in 2007. Then-singer Angela Gossow admitted it's one of her favorite movies. If you don't know it, try checking it out if that's your swing.
I was disappointed in Earthsea as well, but I’ll take it over that god awful adaptation the Syfy channel did any day.
What if Disney did it
Disney, Pixar and Lucasfilm did the English dubs of the Ghibli films.
Current Lucasfilm would be great for an Earthsea live action film. Would be better than The Rise of Skywalker, at least.
@@starvoltnexus3139 It would be even worse, as it would be woke shit.
@@mariadocarmosobreira8323 Not having a straight white male as a character apparently means woke ugh I hate your type of people
I second this. HARD.
Spirited Away and Kiki's Delivery Service! You can't take away my childhood. Even after I saw many more Ghibli works as I got older, these 2 have and will forever be my favorites.
Earwig and the Witch could have been more appreciated if it was a co-production like The Red Turtle.
They were going for a claymation approach for the CGI’s visuals but it would have been amazing if they made it a UK-Japan co-production with Studio Ghibli and Aardman (Wallace & Gromit, Shaun the Sheep, Chicken Run, Creature Comforts, Rex the Runt) in pure claymation. Especially since Studio Ghibli and Aardman are close friends, to the point that Studio Ghibli distributes Wallace & Gromit and Shaun the Sheep in Japan.
And hey, claymation is still technically 3D.
Earwig really came off as a love letter to Ghibli, than an it's own story. Almost every element is a reference to (other) Ghibli flicks.
The movie is a collaboration with Marza Animation Planet (the studio that makes the cutscenes in the Sonic games, as well as the CGI Lupin III movie and the visual effects in the Sonic movies).
Between Marza working on Sonic Forces, Team Sonic Racing, two versions of the first Sonic movie (one with the Movie Sonic we all love and one with Ugly Sonic), Mario & Sonic at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, Sonic Frontiers, and Lupin III: The First, I think they were spread too thin on working on Earwig.
I'm so glad my favorite, When Marnie Was There, made the Top 10. God, that film was heartbreaking and beautiful.
And I really need to rewatch or even just watch some of these films. Especially those I haven't seen since I was young.
That one is my favorite as well, but it’s been a long time since I’ve seen it so I’ll have to find it and watch it again somewhere (I saw it at a friend’s house so I don’t have access to it)
I love that film even if it’s really gay baitey

I'm sorry, but my fave will ALWAYS be The Cat Returns. It's too cute
That was my first Ghibli film! And yes, far too cute... Muta especially. >///
I understand what you're saying about Grave of the Fireflies perfectly! It is a good film that I recommend everyone watch, but for me once was enough. It was amazing but also *the* most depressing movie I've ever seen, a special kind that made me just feel empty afterward. I don't regret seeing it but I'm never watching it again.
Kiki was the first one I ever saw and will always be a comfort movie. Grave of the Fireflies traumatized me as a kid. I saw Only Yesterday as a late teen and thought every girl should see it as it's very comforting for us going through puberty and growing up in general. We got away with seeing Spirited Away in my Japanese class so fun memories. When Marnie was Here was really good, leaving the best impression, and Howl's the only one I seem to own (got the book too). I've seen others but these were the ones that I remember most. There's a reason Miyazaki's called the 'Disney of Japan'. Personally think we should flip the statement once in a while.
My favorite Ghibli movie will forever be Kiki's Delivery Service, not only was it my very first Ghibli film to watch as a kid but became very relatable as an adult and will forever be very dear to my heart.
As much as I agree on the admired picks on your top 10, my definite favorite Studio Ghibli film would have to be “Whisper Of The Heart”. It was the first one I’ve ever watched ever since it premiered on Turner Classic Movies back in January 2006. I was very fortunate enough to record the original Japanese version on VHS when it was the last Ghibli film to air on the night TCM ended a marathon that celebrated Hayao Miyazaki’s 65th birthday. To me, “Whisper Of The Heart” is not just a coming-of-age movie that’s full of pre-teen moments and a romantic connection between Shizuku and Seiji, it has a meaningful moral on inspiration and taking your time. The movie helped me grasp my artwork that I enjoyed doing, and many people I’ve known encouraged me to never give up on my talent. I’m sure a handful of others can relate to the characters, and the message behind challenging yourself is a journey, and I wholeheartedly agree that it’s the most underrated Ghibli film that should receive more appreciation and attention like many others. Not to mention, we all gotta love Ghibli’s take on John Denver’s “Country Roads”!
My favorite film of all time would be Howl’s Moving Castle. I’m a sucker for romance and fantasy so that movie has always been closer to my favorites. I also love The Secret World of Arriety because it was the first Ghibli film I ever owned and the only one I have on DVD.
I'm a sucker for Romance and Fantasy
Grave of the Fireflies was a double feature with My Neighbor Totoro because they wanted something happier after the film.
In fact, Totoro was only made because they thought Grave of the Fireflies would bomb at the box office on its own due to how bleak it is while being aimed at a shonen (aimed at a preteen to teen audience) demographic rather than a more mature seinen (aimed at an adult demographic) audience.
They did well at the box office solely because of Totoro.
Ghibli rarely aims at an adult audience, even their darker films like Princess Mononoke and Tales from Earthsea are still shonen anime. And some of their films like Ponyo and Kiki are kodomo (aimed at kids and families) anime.
The only seinen films they made are Porco Rosso, The Wind Rises, and Only Yesterday; and they are still made to be family-friendly.
I think I lost some braincells to you calling Ghibli movies Shonen anime
I've never seen most of the movies on the list and I have considered watching some of them, _ESPECIALLY_ Spirited Away and now I am convinced to give it a watch sometime soon.
My favorite is The Cat Returns because it's just so cute and funny. It's a great movie to watch when you want to just be cheered up. Also the English Dub has Cary Elwes as the Baron and his voice is the perfect choice for this character. Probably the best English voice acting dubs in any anime.
That and Howl's Moving Castle is Good too :"3
And it has TIM CURRY as the Cat King
My top 5 are:
1. Howl’s Moving Castle
2. Princess Mononoke
3. Castle in the Sky
4. Spirited Away
5. Nausicaa
100% agree
I wouldn't put Castle in the sky in my top 5. But your list is still cool 😎
@@isabelerhart9523 hey everyone's preferences are different. No judgement.
The train scene in Spirited Away has and always will leave me mesmerised. The music, the lack of dialogue, the loneliness of the shadow passengers, Chihiro’s determination and the uneasy feeling that I’ve also been there myself on that train at some point but I just can’t remember it always gets to me.
My favorite is Howl's Moving Castle. It's the one movie that if I'm having a rough time, I always turn to.
Grave of the Firefly is a historical movie .
It has to be ground to reality, and those children are definitely not the only one that suffer.
The film is actually incredibly believable
I seriously don't get why you have those questions to begin with because it is pretty self explanatory if you put yourself into their shoe.
During war time it is hard for many normal family to even survive, let alone taking care of 2 more children.
You're like asking why during War time soldiers need to eat trash food and live in extremely filthy condition...
You're like asking why when you're hungry and no money you don't eat meat...
If Earwig is the worst, then they have a really have an amazing set of films.
While if you asked me I’d say Howl’s is my favorite Ghibli movie, the first time I saw Sprited Away will always be a magical moment for me. I’ll never forget it was my first ghibli movie
My personal favorite has always been Castle in the Sky. (I actually silently whooped in joy when it was on the list.)
I didn't really pay attention to the message in the film because I was watching it for what it is, a fun movie about magic and adventure.
The soundtrack gave me goosebumps from the opening theme, the discovery of Laputa, even the Lone Soldier Robot made me tear up a bit, to the very end with the song "Carrying You" playing through the credits.
That's the way I've always viewed it though.
Nausicaa and Princess Mononoke are tied for 2nd place for me.
Ditto. My first and still favourite Ghibli film. I was surprised to see it so low on this list
Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind is a masterpiece im so glad it's at number 3
Yes absolutely!!
Thanks for the new insight into Kiki's Delivery Service. I knew the overall message but never picked up on Kiki's feelings (except when she's dealing with that spoiled, ungrateful, brat.)
My personal favourite Ghibli movie is definitely "Kaze tachinu" (The Wind Rises). It was just so good.
Footage from "Castle of Cagliostro" was incorporated into the Stern Electronics laserdisc game "Cliff Hanger".
I remember seeing that game in the Johnny Z's arcade as a teenager. It was just a few feet away from a dragon's Lair machine.
The pineapple flashback in Only Yesterday always got to me because that’s the only time we ever see the whole family collectively happy. They’re all excited in anticipation of trying this fruit, and when none of them like the pineapple it felt a balloon was abruptly deflated on all their emotions. Plus I got pissed at Taeko’s mom for scolding Taeko for continuing to eat the pineapple, when in _many_ of the flashbacks she’s ragging on this poor girl for being a picky eater.
Questionable plot elements aside, I didn't dislike earwig that much.
Same-ish
I hope that you & strider have a blast Together & some Wise advice from my dad be good but if you can't be good then don't get Caught Robyn& Strider. 😉😈
My favorites are Howl’s Moving Castle, Kiki’s Delivery Service, and When Marnie Was There
I can understand your points about Arriety.....
Doesn't make the fact that it was ranked low hurt any less 🥲
“The Cat Returns” had a Hong Kong subtitle that made my anime club bust up laughing. When the girl says “Neko Da?!” It subtitled it as “WTF, IM A CAT?!?”
Grave of the fireflies is one the best films I've ever seen, but I never want to see it again. It literally hurt to watch.
It did! 😢
Regret.
Dear Humans, we regret coming to earth, we regret being alien bastards, and we regret that the corps just destroyed our raggedy ass fleet!
Oorah!!
(Sergeant Johnson and the marines were awesome)
Favorite films Spirited away, My neighbor Totoro, Howls moving Castle, Princess Mononoke, Castle in the sky, Kiki's delivery service, and the cats return
Jiro’s voice actor in The Wind Rises in Japanese is Hideaki Anno, the creator of Evangelion.
He did this to recover from the depression and burnout he got from making Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo. and he also did Shin Godzilla to recover.
And they were successes that helped him recover and he made Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time to a thunderous success.
Also, the German guy Castorp was voiced by German arthouse director Werner Herzog in the English dub, more known now for playing The Client in the first season of Star Wars: The Mandalorian.
The Cat Returns is the final version of Shizuku’s in-universe story.
My favorite is Castle in the Sky. ❤
Sheeta has always been a special character, dear to my heart, and her relationship with Pazu is beyond adorable. ❤
I love the overall message of the movie, and hearing "Balus" gives me chills every time I hear it.
(Also: Big shout out for the couple who assisted in Sheeta and Pazu's escape from Dola's gang. Even though the amount of lines and minutes they had in the film were minimal, I've never been more entertained by a couple I barely know.) 😂
I actually hold the, quote: "Butchered version of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" (Aka, Warriors of the Wind) in VERY high regards. Maybe even more so than Ghibli's other films. I may receive flak for this, but hear me out first before you throw the hate.
Warriors of the Wind was the FIRST ANIME I have seen. In fact it was because of this version I was introduced to Anime in the first place. I loved the story, the animation, and the setting as a child and when I grew up and discovered the actual Nausicaa, I still held on to my fondness for Warriors. To this day I still have my original VHS copy of Warriors of the Wind and I treasure it dearly.
Ok, NOW you may throw the hate.
The butchered dub was also produced by infamous B-movie schlockmeister Roger Corman.
I still like that version as being so bad it’s good but if I have to watch an English dubbed version, I would watch the uncut Disney English dub.
I'm so happy that Castle of Cagliostro was included in the list! It's my most favorite movie and the animation is amazing
Yes! Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind got Number three! That's my favorite movie. Should have known Spirited Away would be number one. Not that I blame the choice. This is an amazing film.
I've watched about a dozen Studio Ghibli films and some of my absolute favourites were Totoro, Castle in the Sky, Princess Mononke, Kiki's Delivery Service, and I also quite liked Sprirted Away but can't remember much from it since I watched it less frequently than some other Ghibli films. I love the message in Princess Mononoke and a lot of the scenes are extremely beautiful and the first scene with boar is a brilliant action scene, in my opinion. while I think Princess Mononoke is my favourite, it is less light hearted than some others so is sometimes less easy to watch when just wanting to chill but others like the 3 others that I mentioned are maybe intended for younger audiences so are more lighthearted
In the UK dub, Shō is voiced by Tom Holland in his very first acting role, years before he became the MCU’s Spider-Man.
They got Disney Channel actors for the US dub and I was disappointed they didn’t get Zendaya as Arrietty in the US dub.
It would be hilarious to see that Arrietty was voiced by MJ in the US dub while Shō is voiced by Peter Parker in the UK dub, and they are still separated across the pond.
Love the video, love the collab, you guys continue to do excellent work. Was pretty surprised to see Whisper of the Heart placed so high though lol. I saw it for the first time last year, and if you took a shot every time a scene went nowhere, you'd be passed out on the floor in less than 20 minutes. XD Cool to see where lo-fi girl came from though!
Pom poko i just love those tanuki their joy, their struggle, their camaraderie, their humorous moments lol "I have no face" and that ending song it gets me
I was surprised to see my personal fave, Only Yesterday, so high up! It's one of those movies that I just don't know why I adore it over anything else, and even if other films have had a bigger impact on me or I've rewatched them more times, Only Yesterday is the one that just pops up in my mind when I'm asked what my favorite is.
Princess something Kikis delivery service or that cat returns I can’t decide but one of those is my favourite
Kiki's Delivery Service
It was the first Ghibli I ever watched on Toon Disney on my grandma's old Sharp TV in her Bedroon.
It's my personal favorite followed by Spirited Away, Grave Of The Fireflies, Ponyo, the secret world of arrietty, my neighbor totoro, When Marine Was Their and Howl's Moving Castle.
Earwig was NOT BAD, It was OK, Kacey Musgraves performance was fantastic, Hopefully the English Version of "Don't Disturb Me" will be release on her new album.
I found Tales Of Earthsea BORING
People hate Earwig because Ghibli is famous for helping keep 2d hand drawn animation alive and people fear this means the end of traditional animation and they'll suffer the same fate as every western major animation studio.
Looks like they won’t do 3D again for a long time.
The film didn’t draw many viewers during its straight-to-TV premiere, on New Year’s Eve, no leas. And its theatrical rerelease in Japan bombed horribly.
Spirited Away was not just my first Ghibli film, but it was the film that reignited my love for Anime. This movie will Always have a special place in my heart.
(Also love Howl's Moving Castle. I'm a sucker for a good fantasy romance.)
For favorite film it would be howl’s moving castle and spirited away.
Just something about the illusion of magic shown in each movie is creative.
And I did go read the book howl’s moving castle and it’s definitely different from the movie that’s for sure.
Even after all these years I can still remember howls moving castle and spirited away, man I feel old XD
Am I the only one who likes tales from earthsea? :)
Nope, I like it.. now it is t my favorite that goes to Princess Mononoke but it’s a Earthsea is a decent film to me
@@edgydreamy681 ;)
The Wind Rises. One of the reasons being it shows how one dream can come to affect an untold number of people all across the globe.
I will always say The Cat Returns is my favorite Studio Ghibli film. It helped me get out of a depressed funk I was in years ago, and I always go back to remember the quote I got from the film. "Always believe in yourself. Do this and no matter where you are, you will have nothing to fear."
Grave of fireflies better be high on the list
@PhantomStrider , the lesson to take from Kiki, is to find your own reason for taking up a job. Many parents expect their kids to take up the family business, or such. Which can cause serious issues along the way.
Very awesome list. My favorite movie is Spirited Away, I love everything about it and it really deserves to be #1 😍
Nausicaa is considered the first Studio Ghibli movie. Its success allowed Miyazaki and Takahata to form the studio, and it's the first movie in the Studio Ghibli Collection. Much as I love Castle of Cagliostro, it's not a Ghibli film by any means.
I would probably put Laputa closer to one because it was one of my favorites growing up. I didn't appreciate how far down it was.
This list may not be exactly how I would rank them but it is a really good list except for your opinion on the secret world of arietty that was way too low I actually liked that movie I probably would have moved it up to like 13 or 14
Great list! My favorite is Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, but my close second is Spirited Away. I can't wait to see The Boy and the Heron next month when it gets released, I've also seen every Ghibli film and I'm dying to know where it will sit in my ranking.
I like a lot of studio ghibli films, and I have many personal favorites. They are spirited away, Princess mononoke, castle in the sky, Nausicaa and the valley of the wind, whisper of the heart, porco rosso, and especially Kiki's delivery service.
My favorite movie is Howl's Moving Castle hands down!
A movie about a girl with ADHD being harassed her whole life? Who else would tell that story? A story about orphans being victims of war and the selfishness of society? Nobody else would have dared to make it back then.
They've been willing to take risks in order to grow the cinematic landscape.
And honestly films don't have to explain everything about the story being told. After all, we are never told everything in real life. Somebody somewhere is making a decision that will affect your life and you'll never truly know why they made that decision. You shouldn't expect to understand a character's choices, actions and feelings to always be evident. That's life. You can ask questions, but you can't expect answers.
Oh, and that guy believing he actually loved that girl might actually have. He was the closest thing to a friend she had. Though he disliked her actions, he did try to help her in spite of it, right? He had to have felt something for her to want to weather the toxicity she spewed. And she did get what she wanted, but that meant that she no longer had to keep up the bad attitude. And she had years to reflect on things by the time they met up again. Things wouldn't be like before. Sometimes silence gives as many answers as words do.
BTW, the turtle wrecked the rafts the man made because she liked him and didn't want him to leave. But turtles can't talk in a movie without dialogue.
Yay! This was so awesome!! I love Studio Ghibli so much!🥰 My absolute favorite films of theirs are Castle in the Sky and Spirited Away!💖
Kiki's Delivery Service was my gateway to Ghibli and, as such, will always have a special place in my heart.
I'm also glad they appreciated When Marnie Was There. I was very disappointed when Jelloapocalypse dragged it through the mud.

13:24 I know I'm a year late but in 2014 Ghibli helped to animate a series called Ronja, the Robber's Daughter. The characters were 3d but the backgrounds were 2d and it just looks so good, so i don't know what happened with the animation in Earwig and the Witch.
I watched Howl's Moving Castle for the first time a couple of months ago, and it instantly became my favorite Ghibli movie. It was just to pretty, and I loved the music.
Grave of the Fireflies just broke my heart more than any other movie. I still can’t bring myself to re-watch it and even just having you guys talk about it on this list destroyed me.
B-movie schlockmeister Roger Corman did the older Nausicaa dub that was heavily edited.
Disney (ironically enough) would later make a redubbed version that is completely uncut and faithfully translated.
It's also ironic that Disney was the only studio willing to release the Ghibli films in their uncut form even if they get a PG-13 rating, while Fox Searchlight Pictures (who still got some of Miyazaki's earlier films) and Warner Bros. approached them and wanted to cut the films.
Miramax/Harvey Weinstein did the Princess Mononoke dub, and they were forced to do it uncensored.
They, however, got Neil Gaiman to do the English localisation script, though they were originally going to get Quentin Tarantino to do the script.
Harvey Weinstein has become infamous for redubbing and reediting animated films, with things like Leap!, Underdogs, Doogal, Leo the Lion, and Arabian Knight.
He even does this for Asian films like Iron Monkey, Zatoichi the Blind Swordsman, Police Story III: Supercop, and Drunken Master II.
My favorite Ghibli movie is Castle in the Sky. It was also the first movie I saw in theaters by myself and I'm glad I did. Also I must disagree with you Robyn. The best song to come from Ghibli is The Girl Who Fell From The Sky.
Hey since you talked about Monster Musume and Interspecies Reviewers how about reviewing Monster Girl Doctor I think it's a really sweet and interesting anime?
Spirited Away is an absolute masterpiece of filmmaking. It’s amazing from beginning to end. This is one of the peaks of animation and movies just in general. Is it Ghibli’s masterpiece?
Not Quite
Spirited away is amazing but PRINCESS MONONOKE is one of the greatest films of all time. It’s dark, gritty, and is not afraid to throw everything at you. Expert pacing. Beautiful animation. It is just an insane look on society and the importance of the earth and its preservation. Princess Mononoke (in my opinion) blows everything else ghibli has made out of the water. Even Spirited Away to some extent.
My favorites (in no particular order):
My Neighbor Totoro
Kiki's Delivery Service
Spirited Away
Howl's Moving Castle

Studio Ghibli is often compared to Pixar, and I think this is a more apt comparison than most people realize. Both studios have some really fantastic films under their belt, but they also make a lot of mediocre movies as well, but a lot of people tend to ignore the bad stuff and act as if everything the studios make is amazing.
I grew up watching Studio Ghibli movies. My personal favorite is Princess Mononoke, I don't even remember how many times I watched it when I was a kid. Great list!
Spirited Away is my all time favorite.
I work at Walmart. My vest is coooooovered with pins. Several are anime. Several of them are gibli (ponyo, spirited away, and monanoke). I own many of them. Think what you want of the many but his talent can't be denied. Even the poorer ones are still something special.
I wouldn't comment this if it didn't bother me (First my favorite movie is the Tale of the Princess Kaguya directed NOT by Miyazaki but Isao Takahata) which is why I'm frustrated that this video seems to think Miyazaki is responsible for very movie on this list when a lot of them he had nothing to do with them besides inhabiting the same studio.
Isao Takahata is responsible for creating Fireflies, Yesterday, Yamadas, Pom Poko and Kaguya. He died a few years ago.Its actually pretty easy to tell apart his work since its more faithful to Japanese storytelling, culture and sensibilities, and Miyazaki is much more of an East meets West appeal, which, cynically, I think is the sole reason why the studio is so popular in the states (plus John Lassiter's frothing at the mouth..).
True there are other directors involved with the studio's filmography and Takahata was def ProbleMatiC, shall we say… all the same I think the lack of any mention of any of the other hands on deck is kinda sad.
I love :
- castle in the sky
- ponyo
- my neighbor totoro
- my secret 🌎 of arieity
- and even kikis delivery service
There r still some that I wanted 2 watch since a lot of those seems really interesting.
You ask the hard questions! There's so many ghibli movies to choose from! But I have to say Kiki's Delivery service. My siblings and I grew up with it. We would watch the vhs tape so much that we were shocked with how bright the colors were on the dvd when we got it. We can quote the original dub word for word, and mentally insert jiji's extra lines watching the dvd. I was so excited when my sister said that she had the original dubs opening and end song on her computer.
Yes spirited away had to win it won awards in America and not even from America I believe more Animes were dubbed due to the popularity of this film by that I mean anime became more mainstream in America
If Disney entered it for Best Picture and Best Foreign Film, it would probably win and it would have beaten Parasite at being the first foreign film to win Best Picture.
I think Spirited Away and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon deserved to be the first Asian films to win Best Picture over Parasite, and I really loved Parasite.
the cat returns and lupin the iii are the ghibli movie I've watched the most ! they are easy to watch and really enjoyable.
57:39-57:44 Just a side note, this scene perfectly demonstrates why I was blown away by Jason Marsden's acting in this film. He's always had such versatility in matching the tone of his characters that even if you recognize his voice, he completely melts into the character he's playing at the time. With Haku, he can go from harsh and demanding in this moment to soft and soothing in the garden scene. The fact that he's had experience in playing both the boy next door and the delinquent in his other roles really shows in this. There are not many voice actors, let alone actors in general that are that believable in playing both archetypes.
My favorite Ghibli movie is Nausicaa of the valley of the wind. I am planning on buying the manga which I heard that tells a even more amazing story.
It's more like it's *extended*, last 18 minutes of the film never happened, it's like the difference between 2003 FMA and brotherhood.
They're beat for beat *up until a certain point* then diverge, although you do get to see more of what "the grandpas" and Yupa are doing
So uh, don't get surprised the first few chapters come off more like storyboards straight from the movie itself 😁
