Ponyo (and Ghibli in general) ‘s entire animation style makes me wanna kick my feet and smile. It feels like a hug, if that makes sense
EXACTLY
Ikr like my dad always seen animation a children shows wich is sad but he has a soft spot with ghibli flims where watch it with big smile on face and talk to me about it for hours. Its eyecandy like butterscott or fresh, sweet berries
YES OF COURSE ABSOLUTELY EXACTLY CORRECT YEA YES YAS YESYESYESYESYESYESYES
@@Awesomemaytalk abt hilda
More studio ghibli
Ponyo is SO underrated Man, and people say nothing is wholesome anymore. This movie is pure Joy.
Ponyo is wholesome, right until you learn the fable it’s based on. Then Ponyo becomes one of the darkest Ghibli films.
Oh?
Isn’t it based on The Little Mermaid? I know the original story by Hans Christian Andersen gets pretty dark, but I wouldn’t say Ponyo itself is darker for it.
@@Thingumadoodle0518 basically, the theory is that Ponyo is a harbinger/agent of death and that everyone died in the tsunami. Google can elaborate for you, but giving the film a rewatch with the death context in mind is very interesting
@@wrenwry Oh, wow. Personally, I’m not a fan of theories like that, but it’s kind of an interesting take on the story.
Gotta probably be my favorite studio ghibli movie
Ponyo is one of my all time favorite ghibli movies the animation is so. Satisfying and the sounds make you feel like your actually there it’s amazing 🤩
Oh my gosh, I remember watching this movie as a kid! It was my first introduction to Ghibli! Makes me want to watch Ponyo now! ❤️
I've permanently associated ponyo with me and my friend watching it in the back of chemistry class about a week before our last exam. We never got to finish it and never will since we go to different schools now, but every time I see clips from the first half of the film its like I can smell the classroom again
thats so real me with peabody and sherman
I hav to agree ponyo is the most wholesome movie I ever watched too
Did I seriously said hav
I remember when I first watched this movie, the thing that I was mesmerized most by was the level of detail and vibrancy in the animation for this movie. You nailed it with the comment about how every scene looks like a perfect painting/wallpaper.
I remember loving this movie when i was younger, and i still love it now. It looks so fantastic and the characters are so fun and interesting, especially ponyo, she just absolutely adorable
I’m so glad you appreciate this movie as I do me and my family watch this movie way more than we are supposed to :)
Something ive been curious about is what happens right after the movie. Like, does Sosukes mom just drop that she basically adopted another kid all at once on the dad, or does she try to ease him into it? This is legitimately something Ive been wondering about for a good while.
I remember I used to watch this with my mom every night when i was younger and i think she memorised the entire script at this point. But even if you don’t count the script of a Ghibli film i think just watching the animation alone hits so hard
Great video May, I enjoyed this! Studio Ghibli is one of the best and creative animation studios, anyways keep up the great work and stay awesome :D
thank you!!
You know Awesomemay is gonna rate the movie 9/10 just because of the water.
true. you know me so well
Ofcourse one of your favorite movies is a movie that has good looking water in almost every scene
"doing his duty in the ocean"- may, 2024
I remember having this on DVD, and i’d watch over and over, but I kind of forgot how sad it was. And rewatching it on MAX, I truly love it, and understand it more.
I remember watching this movie when i was little
I watched Ponyo right after grave of the fireflies which made me cry my eyes out. Something I love about Ponyo is that it’s just easy to vibe to. The story was a little confusing for me, but just seeing Ponyo made me smile. Not my favorite ghibli movie, but a very good one
I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of Ponyo, or Ghibli movies in general
Out of all the studio Ghibli movies, my top two favorites have to be kiki's delivery service and Ponyo. Both those movies are just so cute and fun to watch 😊
I have never seen this movie. I’m usually not into Studio Gibli movies but I think I might check this movie out. It seems really wholesome
Ooh! If you want a good Gibli movie recommendation, I highly suggest spirited away! It's such an amazing movie, and one of my favorite movies. Or if you want something else wholesome, I suggest Totoro. There's also a movie with a hot character, but I've been rambling for too long lmao.
I remember Ponyo as a vague recollection from when I was a very small child. I never remembered the name, only the fish girl with chicken legs. Then I saw it playing at some Japanese restaurant, and I got nostalgia whiplash. I'm so glad I could watch this video to revisit it. In my opinion, this is a peak movie
Bro not even lying, I was watching one of your videos because I was bored and needed something in the background to watch, but i already had seen it, so I go searching for some of your videos I haven’t watched and get the notification!😅
I remember Ponyo! I saw that movie in theaters when I was little, and it's the first anime movie I ever saw. Thank you for making a video about it, and have a happy new year! Here's to 2024, an amazing and better year 🥂
I’m still waiting for Awesomemay to talk about Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, especially that Whatever skateboarding scene.
i loved that scene and now i love that song
Ponyo was my first Gibli movie and is a family favorite that we can quote word by word. The fact that awesome May actually reacted to it has made my day. Also anytime anyone in my family sees ham we say HAAAAAAMMMM.
This was one of the first movies I’ve ever watched and apparently I watched it a lot to the point where any Ghibli film my parents saw after it they mistook for Ponyo just because of the art style
I also have a painting from the creator of studio ghibli and it’s ponyo!
I think I went trough all the stages of grief about you using the English dub in the video while watching it. But it’s still great so good job :) 👍
that was really for some reason the only footage i could find in high quality so i apologize! i utilized it to make a whole part talking about dub and sub so it worked out
I haven’t seen the movie in 10 years but my one memory of it is of me and my friend renting it from the library and watching it on our old VHS tv in my basement while sitting on a pink rug on the cold concrete floor.
👍good times
I was so excited for this I’m glad you got it up!!!
As someone’s whose first Studio Ghibli movie and remembers watching it on DVD back when I was younger with my sisters, it’s genuinely one of Ghibli’s most wholesome movies I couldn’t agree more with your review on it.
(Happy New Year’s, May!)
8:55 it was the perfect moment for put at least a frame of the whistle meme but thank god you didn't (I don't know if I wanted or not that)
Ponyo is my first anime movie! I love it so much it holds a special place in my heart ❤️ The music is INSANELY GORGEOUS as well
The ultimate comfort movie ever.
LITERALLY LOVE UR 2 COMMENTS ON THIS! SO REAL
This holds a special place in my heart being as i loved this as a kid and watched it over and over
I can just imagine May saying this while watching Ponyo: *I WANNA GO INTO THAT SCREEN AND DRINK THAT WATER-*
That fact that awesomay mentioned Josh Hutcherson and didn't reference the meme is admirable
lmaoooo i tried to use the same picture tho
Ponyo is such a cozy movie I love it so much
13:49 why does it look so much like the Peter Griffin death pose 😂
Bro this is my childhood movie ngl this is nostalgia 100%
Ponyo is 100% my favourite studio ghibli film and it's sooooo underated, I'm so happy hour giving it the recognition it deserves!
I LOVE POYNO!!! It’s so wholesome and sweet and I really enjoy u talking about movies that you usually don’t talk about! From once I stared to watch Awesomemay content, I don’t remember you talking about Anime/ not western Media- BUT OMG NO I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING IN THIS VIDEO💕💕
This is so factual ‼️🗣️🔥
I got so excited when i saw this video in my recommended videos, this movie is my absolute childhood :D
WHEN I SAY THAT THE MOMENT I SAW THIS VIDEO IN MY RECOMMENDED I SCREAMED OF PURE JOY, I AM NOT KIDDING.
Initial reaction aside, I'm so happy you talked about this movie, it was one of my first Ghibi movies, and is probably my favorite movie ever ever since I was 5. Just the whole movie just feels like it captures childlike sense of wonder, elevated by the wondrous art of the sea and it's creatures that makes me feel like it wraps me up in a blanket of just comfort. I also feel like this movie actually encapsulates what an energetic child is with Ponyo because I was even called that as a nicknamed because we both were energetic and ham loving children lol.
I don't really care if people say that there's better movies out there than this one, because this movie is so amazing in how it intertwined the magic and the beauty of just everyday life that everything just feels so natural and that it's always been there, and I can only imagine that the beautiful simplicity of it all is what Ponyo fell in love with. This is one of the only movies where I still experience the feelings I felt since my first viewing, and just you talking about it made me very happy that someone else is talking about how comforting this movie is, nice work :D
A little unrelated- but tbh I still get just as excited as Ponyo in the ramen scene, she just like me fr lol
This was my introduction to Ghibli movies alongside Totoro and Spirited Away
"The Most Wholesome Movie Ever Made" Awesomemay. What about all the people that drown or lost their property because Ponyo caused a whole tsunami :(
Jokes aside. This movie is so flipping cute and My Neighbor Totoro is too. I've been checking out every Ghibli movie for the past month and the range this studio has insane. From cute stuff like Ponyo to tragedy like Grave of the Fireflies and even surrealism like Spirited Away.
Ponyo is just such an iconic film although I started watching anime because of spirited away but my personal favourite is howls moving castle like AEUGH ALL THEIR FILMS ARE SO GOOD😭😭😭😭
SO TRUEE
It’s about time he made a video on this masterpiece 😂😮
I vividly remember always borrowing Ponyo from my local library me and my cousin would rent it so much our family bought us a copy for Christmas
WAKE UP !!! ITS THE FIRST AWESOMEMAY VIDEO OF THE YEAR
this movie is close to me because it’s a nickname my family calls me! one time as a little toddler my brother held me above the water and I started absolutely booking it in the air, like Ponyo running on the water.
so yes I’m very happy someone is talking about Ponyo
My teacher showed this in class and it was, indeed, hype
YESSS!! IM SO HAPPY YOU REVIEWED THIS MOVIE IT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES!!!
Yeah! My first Ghibli movie and one of my favorite movies of all time, Ah!
You should totally talk about Laputa or When Marnie Was There! I love Laputa with my whole heart, and I always cry watching the other!
The art in this movie is so beautiful it’s ridiculous
so true
I remember seeing the trailer for this movie on a dvd of another movie (you know, back then when they had trailers on the dvd like they do at the theaters), and although I can’t remember what movie it was that the trailer was on, that movie always stuck out to me, and last year I finally fulfilled my childhood dream of watching it. Wasn’t disappointed at all.
A lovely movie. This movie is so cute and I love most studio Gibley movies and I’m glad you reviewed this one because it’s really really good.
I truly love watching your videos and listening to them. they’re very interesting and also fascinating. They also inspire me to do some drawing when I wasn’t previously in the mood too, so thanks for that.😊 I also love Studio Gibley some more than others.
this is so nice ty!
im normally someone who just dont like anime in general but studio ghibli is the one exception to that because it just makes me feel like a kid again ya know
I just go finished watching ponyo. Going to be honest, I think it’s one my favorite movies! (Great Video on it by the way)
I just watched this on new years, it really is a classic! I loved every second of it.
I love this movie so much,it’s so weird yet so wholesome,if that makes sense.Idk why but for some reason I have two sketchbooks of ponyo (the cover had ponyo on it)
i just noticed that you and Ponyo had the same color palette almost haha
I used to watch ponyo all the time it was my favourite movie
Bro this guy makes the best movie review videos
i dont trust people who dont like ponyo, for well over a decade it was the first and only ghibli movie i had seen and its SO GOOD and its still my favorite of the ghibli movies ive seen lol
I haven't watched any studio Ghibli movies yet, but seeing the reviews for these movies, I need to watch these movies
I have an original dvd from like the 2009 and it has a second cd that basically goes behind the scenes and concept art and had been my favorite movie since i was little :)
I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS WITH MY GRANDMA- It was a really good movie but I don’t remember a lot about it tbh.
I literally just watched this movie tonight, I love it
I love ponyo sm I’m rlly glad u made a review on it
me too!
I’m glad your watching studio ghilbi movies
I have always loved this movie.
PLEASE make more Studio Ghibli videos!!
i plan on it!
my sister asks me why I always watch that movie BUT LOOK AT THIS MOVIE ITS SO WHOLESOME
Sure is an awesome day with an Awesomemay
my favorite Ghibli movie by far. literally got me through the hardest time of my life when I had not felt pure joy in a long time so thanks ponyo
I think ponyo is one of my top 3 favourite studio ghibli movies but for me, my favourite ghibli movie is the tale of princess kaguya for me its not very often that i cry after watching a flim, but that movie is just filled with emotions
its not often that you feel worse after watching something
I really hope I’m not the only one who can hear Qui-Gon Gin whenever Ponyo’s Dad talks
Wow this video is very well made man keep up the good work ! 😎👍
Thanks, will do!
Ponyo is my first ever anime movie I watched and I loved it when I was 6 and still is
Ponyo was the first ever studio ghibli movie i watched and it was so fun to watch : )
I would watch this over and over again when I was 4-6! 😊
I only saw this movie around 2 times when I was very little, but I’m glad I was able to see this movie at all. I would not be surprised if this was the movie that changed my brain chemistry.
I've watching a lot of Ghibli during my winter break and I appreciated for what the studio has done from the past year. Unlike an animation studio like Disney where their films are surreal in fantasy, Ghibli movies while having that fantasy element still very grounded. Everytime you watch a movie from them, you can feel the atmosphere like the bathhouse in Spirited away or the wind blowing in Kiki Delivery service. Studio Ghibli are masters at atmosphere in storytelling.
lmao I'm pointing at the porco rosso bits like that dicaprio meme- also you must watch ponyo w/ ramen I don't make the rules srry 🫡
Ponyo came out when I was in elementary school and I remember ppl not liking it bc it didn't really have a plot (this was after the high of howl's, spirited, and mononoke) and the only thing that stuck around was the catchy-ass bop that was the theme song 🙈 but it's awesome to see ponyo growing in popularity after all this time, the vibes here are immaculate!!
also I love fuijimoto sm- oh the bisexual struggle of being attracted to *both* of ponyo's parents 👉👈 ...and lisa
Yeah, it is very wholesome, i agree!
Ponyo is a movie that everyone agrees is the calm movie.
To be honest Ponyo is good, I don’t care what anyone else says about it I’ll like it
This was another nice video
Glad you enjoyed it
Happy new year may and everyone! :D
HAPPY NEW YEAR JUMENTO
I grew up watching Studio Ghibli movies :D Sosuke’s crying haunts me, I’ve accidentally memorized the entire thing. Ponyo’s a great movie though, one of my favorites :]
Saw Ponyo in theaters so only saw the English Dub for years and I will stick with it! I’ve watched Ponyo in Sub in recent years and loved it, but the dub is always still my preferred watch 🫶
my school allowed us to watch stuff while having lunch so we watched ponyo. and when we were seeing the opening scene my classmate said " ITS (my name)!" since i basically remind them of a blue jellyfish. and the fact my hair expands when i rub it against the certain slightly.
OMG MAY MADE A VIDEO ON PONYO AAAAAAAAH
