Including all Studio Ghibli films, not just those directed by The Maestro himself...

Though I loved My Neighbour Totoro and Howl's Moving Castle, and really liked Kiki's Delivery Service and Princess Mononoke, I have to say that my favourite is still the first one I ever saw:

Spirited Away

Anyone else got a favourite?

  1. Castle in the Sky. You can not beat giant robots with lasers.

    However the cat from Kiki's delivery service is by far the best character.
    1. Ah, I did like Laputa (was it only called that in the UK?) as well, just not as much as some of the others. The only one I was really disappointed with was Porco Rosso - somehow I'd expected a lot more from it.
  2. I still like Laputa Castle in the Sky and Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind very much
  3. Do you guys tend to watch in Japanese with subtitles? I think I should probably do that... especially after the painfully bad English dub of Steamboy...
  4. Subtitles for sure. The language fits the animation way better, (not just in synchronization.) There's just something that doesn't quite click when Tina Fey calls out for Sosuke over and over again.

    Personally, Spirited Away is the bees knees.
