i just watched Hayao Miyazaki’s “The Red Turtle” and i’m honestly quite speechless (in a sinking heart type of way) it had me breathless and at the edge of tears but i still don’t understand it. i don’t think i’ll fully get over it until someone tells me their opinion/theory.

Hey, I found the Howl's Moving Castle Box Set from the website Kuretake (flieortose .com) for only 38.98 and the deal seems almost too good to be true. Did anyone from here purchase it or knows if it's actually okay?

Man I found this movie really annoying.

I know the boy is just a teenager, but, he had money in the bank and only thought to get it out when his sister was literally on deaths door?

Every one of my students pointed it out and I can’t defend it.

She was destined to die anyway 6,000 YEN isn’t a lot of money but…

Idk when I saw him take money out of the bank and cook that meal I was annoyed lol

thoughts?

Hi, I recently bought a listing off of eBay for a Collected Works of Hayao Miyazaki on Blu-ray, it turned out today and I'm 100 percent certain it is due to the film strip and the Blu-rays being black and in plastic wrappers. HOWEVER, I checked all of the Blu-rays on my player and they were all great quality and for 40 quid no less, it's honestly not bad, but I don't know whether to return them or not, some advice would be great thanks

Before you read my question:

• Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind 100% belongs to Hayao Miyazaki. I own 0% of it, its plot and characters, and as I am not Miyazaki I cannot portray his characters 100% accurately nor do I claim to. The only person who can do this is Miyazaki, as he is the creator and owner of Nausicaa, the plot and characters. Full credit goes to Miyazaki for everything involving Nausicaa’s plot, world and characters.
• My fanfic and its themes may not be your cup of tea, and if that is the case, that is totally fine. However, I’d appreciate if people were nice in the comments section :)
• if there is some rule here against fanfic posts, (I didn’t find one when I looked), mods pls take my post down, and message me so I don’t do it again :)

Thank you.

Anyway, onto my actual post:

So I am writing a Nausicaa fanfiction. It began when I was 11 and it’s evolved over the years.

It begins after the events of the film/manga (there are aspects of both), and centers around the idea of “what if someone from the 21st century found themselves in the world of Nausicaa?”

In the first instalment, my main character and oc, Tahliana, finds herself in Tolmekia after falling through a portal. She is from 2017. Long story short, she is really the daughter of one of the Vai Emperors daughters, who was shoved through the same portal as a plan to assassinate her as she disobeyed her father and was considered a traitor to the empire. She wound up in 1997, and nearly died, however she was rescued by a man named Sid, who had connections and the technology to allow her to breathe in the Old World. As her daughter, Tahliana can breathe both the polluted and the clean air. She ends up finding this out, and in the end her and her aunt (Kushana) end up forming a bond. Eventually she is able to go back to the old world, however she also convinces Kushana to meet her family and friends. Some of whom have powers, some of whom are aliens (literal extraterrestrials) and some of whom are part of the LGBT community (there are a ton of normal people too). My question is how would she/Kurotowa react to these guys? Even with warning?

Thanks so much and if u need more of the plot explained I would LOVE to explain it for you! To other fanfic writers I believe in u, go live out your AO3/Wattpad/Fanfiction,net/Tumblr dreams :D

Just wanting to ask any one here who has watched Kiki's Delivery Service if there should be a sequel, in my opinion definitely yes to a sequel

Was my blu ray set resealed? As one of the blu ray covers dont look like the rest of the box, specially spirited away.

I’m currently trying to get a ticket from around June to July and all the premium ones are sold out. So my question is whether normal ticket would still be worth it and i would not cry over the fact that i won’t be able to see the inside of some of the houses?

Why does granny Kiriko look and act so different to young Kiriko? Granny Kiriko looks and behaves as if she drank the evil queen’s peddler’s disguise potion.

Why can’t I choose Japanese audio WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES (or any subtitles at all) in the Japanese Audio section of HBO MAX?)

I have 4 tickets to the concert in Munich but I can't go anymore because of a family matter. I don't want these tickets to go to waste, and I'd rather someone else be able to go instead. I also just wanted to recoup some of the cost of the cancelled trip. The tickets are front row seating in front of the stage in the Arena.

Let me know if you're interested! My DMs are open

Concert:
Olympia Halle, Munich, Germany. Saturday, May 25, 2024 8pm.

SEATS:

• Arena - PK 6 - G-Seat - Row 1 - Seat 12
• Arena - PK 6 - G-Seat - Row 1 - Seat 13

EDIT #1: two tickets have been sold. There are two remaining now. I have them listed on stubhub, and it doesn't seem to tell me which seats got bought.

Fiancé printed with his 3d printer. I painted with acrylics and made the accessories by hand with various materials.

What is this fan in the attic? It’s shown when Granny says” I bet there in the rafters right now……” I’m very interested in home tradition bc I’m into old homes and traditions. But don’t know Japanese traditions very well.

Theres one scene in the movie where Sheeta was in the kitchen, when all the guys wanted to help her. Obviously they are shown to have some sort of a crush on her, which is really disgusting because she is 13 and they are in their 20s-30s!! Was this purposefully meant to be a creepy scene or something? If it was to show they were creeps, then I would be fine with it, but if the creators of the movie thought it was genuinely okay for the men to feel that way towards Sheeta, then thats a serious issue. Could someone please explain?? I love studio Ghibli, but some of the sexulization of the young girls is disgusting.

Strong, emotionally supportive and skilled with both blade and diplomacy in equal measure- Lord Yupa is the true shining light amongst Ghibli men. No he isn't a tween heart-throb with a twisted past- but he's kind and gentle with a rockin mustache and a heart boner for supporting you in your darkest and brightest moments

A true A+++ gentleman

Just watched the film and have a few questions:

• Why was Suliman attacking Howl? And why was she hunting for him constantly? Why does Suliman let Howl go at the end of the movie?
• Why did Howl eat the star? Was he trying to get more power?
• What was the secret contract between Howl and Calcifer, that Calcifer was trying to get Sophie to find?
• Markl seems to be neglected at the beginning of the film, making Howl guilty of child neglect.
• Why couldn't guards help an old woman up the stairs? Isn't there a lift?
• What was the curse the witch put on Howl?

My fiancée and I are struggling to pick some final favs from Ghibli films to use in our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour background music. We LOVE Ghibli, and definitely have some favs but they all don’t seem to flow together as they are from different films… Anyone have some recommendations/favs from the films that flow well? We are open to them not flowing as well but thought I’d get some inspiration from some fellow Ghibli lovers!

I know that’s such a generic ask, so if it helps our theme is woodsy/nature vibes at a botanical garden thank you!

I watched Castle in the Sky for the first time a couple years ago and I can't stop thinking about what a strangely nostalgic feeling it gave me watching it. I am 100% certain I had never watched it before, but somehow it felt like I did. It felt like rediscovering a movie I hadn't seen since I was a wee lad. Some sort of nostalgia deja vu if that makes any sense. A lot of Ghibli movies give off a cozy vibe, but it was espeically strong in Castle in the Sky. Does anyone else know what I'm talking about and had a similar experience?
