Silent voice, your name, weathering with you

and everything from studio ghibli obviously (I personally love porco rosso)

I honestly only look this kind. The rest is just bad and tries to cache it with fanservice.

My father (~45) and I (~8) both fell in love with Ghibli (indistinctly remember my dad seeing Nausicaa on TV guide and saying "if it's ghibli I'm not missing it") after watching Spirited Away on Cartoon Network one random night in 2004 or so. Over the next 12 years I'd watch most of the rest of their catalogue & even visit their museum in Japan, but had yet to see PR until my birthday one year someone got it for me

I was NOT ready for that movie being what it was, nor the amazingly hard "better a pig than a fascist" line, and it's my favorite from them and has been since

I love the fan revival that movie has been enjoying recently. Very deserved.

I'm sorry to tell you this but while Weathering with You, Your Name, and Suzume don't sexualize kids the head producer does

Your Name does in one scene

Both with silent voice and your name i cried so damn much. Absolute masterpieces.

I haven't seen Weathering with you yet. But i will check it out!
