Here we go! The last update of 2024! As usual for December, this is mainly taking away some points from two Ghibli Cups ago and adding the results of the recent Ghibli Cup qualifiers, so that means quite a few points being dropped all around.
1. Whisper of the Heart (144 points)
2. Spirited Away (138 points)
3. Princess Mononoke (108 points)
4. My Neighbour Totoro (100.5 points)

6. Only Yesterday (91.5 points)
7. Kiki's Delivery Service (89.5 points)
8. Laputa: Castle in the Sky (82.5 points)
9. When Marnie Was There (81.5 points)
10. Porco Rosso (77 points)
11. Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (76 points)
12. The Boy and the Heron/How Do You Live? (73.5 points)
13. Howl's Moving Castle (72 points)
14. The Wind Rises (68.5 points)
15. Ponyo (64.5 points)

And now for the usual update to follow the Ghibli Cup! Whisper extends its lead at the top, and Kaguya and Marnie push Princess Mononoke out of the top five. I made a little adjustment to the method for reflecting upset victories, and while that hasn't made a huge difference this time, I hope it'll make for more accurate representation in the rankings in the future!
