Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Spirited Away's image of a train moving through shallow water has always grabbed me. https://www.ghibli.jp/works/chihiro/#&gid=1&

I dunno what it is, but whenever I see it I feel as if I have been there before.

As much as I love Spirited Away and Castle in the Sky, I've been so bummed Miyazaki hasn't returned to more adult storylines. Princess Mononoke and Nausicaa are two of my top ten films. I'd do anything to have Miyazaki make one more. I even bought Miramax's old marketing website and kept it online [1]. I was lucky enough to teach English in Hokkaido [2], which is where Ghibli animators drew inspiration for Princess Mononoke. It's such a beautiful place, and you can feel it in the film.

    Please, don’t make me cry like that.

    The Wind Rises is my favorite Ghibli, something about it just draws me in like no other. Don't get me wrong, I love Howl's Moving Castle, Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away like the next person, but The Wind Rises is special to me.

  Nausicaa was definitely his best work. It was also one of his earlier works and that can be hard to recapture.

    I love Nausicaa but I would argue technically it has some weaknesses in the narrative and pacing compared to later works. So in case someone comes to this without previous exposure Nausicaa may not be the best place to start. It _is_ nice.

    I'd love to see the original manga story animated. There are so many beautiful scenes and plots missing from the movie... However, it couldn't just be a sequel of the movie, as it diverged from the manga story line near the end.

  Looking at [1] really took me back to those early days of the web. It was a special time. Thank you for that. Depending on how it's hosted, giving it a letsencrypt certificate isn't too much of a hassle. I'd be happy to help.
