What is your favorite Ghibli? | |
It surprises me that this thread doesn't already exist.
Anyway, mine is either Laputa, Totoro, or Spirited Away, all for very different reasons. Laputa is a flawless adventure film that is engaging, funny, and action-packed while still being smart; Spirited Away is a master of atmosphere and creativity, and it takes you into the wonderful world of spirits. I also like how much growth Chihiro gets. Totoro just makes me feel like a kid again, and I cry almost every time I watch it because of how beautiful and simple it is. They are all wonderous films.
Anyhow, what's your favorite Ghibli, and why? Feel free to choose more than one!

I like each Ghibli film for different reasons, I guess I can't build up a "ranking", but I think my favorite is Spirited Away since it's the first one I saw. The impact it had on me was huge and wonderful, it opened my eyes to a new form of making anime/animation/films and, oh well, it was my first encounter with the studio and the people that'd change my life forever, literally. It gives me the chills everytime I watch it.
Only Yesterday, Kiki's Delivery Service and Whisper of the Heart also have a special place in my heart. I think it's because I really, really relate to the main characters.

Spirited Away is the best, it has the Awards to prove it.
Grave of fireflies is the worst.

For me, it's a toss-up between "Spirited Away" and "Princess Mononoke". After those, I like "The Wind Rises" best.
Whenever I'm introducing people to Ghibli, however, I always begin with the same film: "Castle in the Sky". No "acquired tastes" in it, and it's a fun little film.
And "Grave of the Fireflies" is great. "Tales from Earthsea" is obviously the worst.

Castle in the Sky.
When I first saw it I liked it immediately and I love the epic scale of the story. It's an ideal adventure film with a beautiful music score.
