Posted by Guaporense on 04.04.2013, 08:33 PM: Differing perceptions of Miyazaki's work I have noticed that most people outside of Japan, such as film critics and cinephiles, tend to think that My Neighbor Totoro and Spirited Away are the two masterpieces Miyazaki made (indeed, these were the two movies he made that managed to get into the top 250 greatest films of all time list from the 2012 Sign and Sound poll). While the third highest ranking Miyazaki film at that poll was Princess Mononoke at 377th place. These same three movies are his highest ranked films in the IMDB and generally show up in any pool, including many internet polls.

Unlike most young men stationed there at the time, I actually lived in a house out in the Hayama Kokusai District of Yokosuka with my parents and sister. From that I went on to all of the Ghibli Films... and then to other anime...
