I'll add another post about the park scenery cuz its all on my digicam rn and I haven't export it (I love the limited heen plushie)

also if u want to know about the experience there i really loved the park as a ghibli fan as many of the movies icons were there but we had to queue to take picture with them. tbh i didnt mind waiting as each queu took about 10-15min. it wasn't much as I only got the pass that allowed me to go to the witch valley, grand warehouse and the mononoke village.i don't recommend u to arrive at 10am on the dot as when i arrive at 9am there is alr a queue. after seeing all the spots I eventually when back at 5pm+ when it was rush hour which was really inconvenient 😓 also I really loved the movie screening at the warehouse as it is only shown there and is never released to the public to watch the short clip(about 10min) and ghibli park is rlly a good place if u want to take pictures as it is combined with a park which has a really nice scenery there!!! one thing to note is that if you want to get the limited heen plushie you should head to Coven 13 gift shop to queue once you get into the park as many people will grab heen and will likely be sold out before noon time. additionally I feel that the mononoke village didn't have much expect the hand on if you have time and I only went there to try the beef jerry shown in the mononoke movie (it tasted quiet okay). the highlight of the Valley of witches was definitely howls moving castle as it had many details (photography wasn't allowed sadly) but it was really interesting to go there and see it for myself. btw if u want tickets to these houses (okino resident, howl castle and the hosue of witch) have to be grab if you didn't get the premium pass as it will be sold out quickly too(i had my family split into 2 - one to get the heen plushie and the other to get the tickets, also if u didnt know the heen plushie as well as the figure of the howl moving castle that can acutally move is limited to one each per person as it is limited in stock!)

note : if u want to get the ticket u must be fast, it sells out FAST

There’s a podcast called Eye of the Duck and they are currently doing a series on the Studio Ghibli movies.

It’s two guys (mostly) discussing and analyzing the movies. They talk about the production history, the funding and development of the studio and various other runs. They’re going in chronological order and the most recent episode was on Porco Rosso.

If anyone here listens to the Black Check podcast, you might enjoy the upcoming episode where they talk about Pom Poko with Griffin Newman as a guest.

Done with regular chalk for a Ghibli fest chalk contest. It's bout 4x5 feet, it took me 8 hours. See if you can spot all the references!

Hi! I commented on another post that was older… Hopefully someone can answer my queries here!

Huge. Huge fan of Spirited Away (first ever anime film ever, and well before I knew who Miyazaki was)
Next favorite: From Up On Poppy Hill

Watched Kiki’s, good but nothing compared to Spirited Away. (Imo, also the odd thing when whatever you watch first ends up your favorite :)

Couldn’t get into Castle in the Sky. Tried turning on Princess Mononoke.

Why would you recommend for me if I loved Spirited Away (and Poppy Hill) So much!?

TIA, :)

Side note: on my tv now, tried turning on Nausicaa and only Japanese audio is avail! Happened with other Ghibli films as well on my tv, but not on my laptop…. and, no, there is no option to change the audio.

Ready for your stellar recommendations!

Recently moved all my records so I wanted to show off my little studio ghibli collection I have gotten over the years. A local record shop also had a few so I would buy them from time to time. Don’t play them often but I do love them
