Before that time many of the writers, directors, producers and animators that would come to form Studio Ghibli worked together on several anime movies. These movies have much of the charm of Studio Ghibli features and are in many cases now also owned and distributed by Studio Ghibli. Despite their age these movies are of excellent quality, even by today’s high standards, and are by all means worth a watch. Hayao Miyazaki. Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro (1. Rupan Sansei: Kariosutoro no Shiro (. As such, this movie contains far less crudeness and nudity than your average Lupin III fare. This movie also happens to be the general favourite in the anime community out of the six Lupin III movies. This movie follows Lupin III, a famed thief descended from Ars. Discovering that their loot is counterfeit, they go in search of the source of these perfect “goat bills” which leads them to the Castle of Cagliostro featuring both a princess and a huge hidden secret. Good times to be had by all, and a more decent story than is usually found in non- canonical anime series movies. Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (1. Kaze no tani no Naushika (. The art, music, and story- line of this anime were all way ahead of its time. The story revolves around the princess Nausicaa and how she gives her absolute all to save those around her from both the aggressive foliage/fungi surrounding them, the neighbouring countries, and the impending threat of giant stampeding insects. One of the best sci- fi animes ever made, and certainly a must- view for any anime fan. You’ll be able to see why this put Ghibli in its formative years on the anime world’s map. Isao Takahata.

The best Japanese animation by Hayao Miyazaki and more.Sero Hiki no Goushu (. Gauche the Cellist is a cute if somewhat sedate movie about Gauche who is a cellist with a local orchestra and how he learns different important cello lessons from random talking animals that visit him every night including a tanuki, a cuckoo, a cat, and a pair of mice to prepare him for an upcoming concert. It’s pretty cute and recommended for both adults and children. Good to watch on a rainy day. Studio Ghibli – (Hayao Miyazaki/Isao Takahata/Goro Miyazaki)Ghibli is commonly known as the “Disney of Japan” and is certainly one of the largest anime studios in existence. Most of their movies are great for both adults and kids, the ones that aren’t are noted within their respective reviews. Hayao Miyazaki. Laputa: Castle in the Sky (1. Tenk. The bittersweet robots that inhabit and protect the garden may even end up being some of your favourite anime characters, not because they are amusing, but because of the care and dedication that they exude whenever you see them. Laputa revolves around a boy named Pazu and the girl that floats unceremoniously down from the sky into his life, Sheeta, and how they save both Laputa and the world from corruption. An all- around solid anime movie with classic Ghibli humour and spirit, definitely recommended. Top 10 Studio Ghibli movies. Studio Ghibli's most recent work.

The 100 best animated movies: the best Studio Ghibli movies World-famous animators pick the best animated movies ever, including a fair share of amazing Studio Ghibli films. Since its foundation in 1985, Studio Ghibli has released over 20 feature films. Some of these have become animation classics! Others have stunk up the joint. My Neighbor Totoro (1. Tonari no Totoro(. This quickly became the defining movie for Ghibli making Totoro their mascot and the “Mickey Mouse of Japan” even though this is the only widely available movie he’s featured in. Kiki’s Delivery Service (1. Majo no Takky. The narrative follows Kiki and her witty cat Jiji as they set out for a town where Kiki can become the resident witch and earn some valuable experience in life. It’s a solid coming- of- age story that follows the hardships and friends that they encounter while Kiki tries to develop her rather lacking witch skills into something more useful for society. As with all Ghibli movies this is not your typical anime fare and definitely worth checking out. Porco Rosso (1. 99. Kurenai no Buta (. Overall, the movie has a playful nature and is good fun for people of all ages. The story follows Porco Rosso, a man who was inexplicably turned into a pig (it never really is explained very well, so don’t bother trying to understand that part), his tricked- out plane, The Crimson Pig, and how he uses it to patrol the skies and fight evil wherever it may be. The catch is where he got the plane from. Princess Mononoke (1. Mononoke Hime (. This is by far the most graphic of Ghibli’s movies, with gore and decapitation among other things. Does it end up being an okay movie in spite of its unusually mature content? Yes, it actually does. I commend Miyazaki for being able to craft such a solid and mystical story that one would swear was based on actual folklore, but I still can’t say that this is one of my favourite animes. The story follows prince Ashitaka as he gets caught in the middle of a war between forest spirits (as well as San, or Princess Mononoke, who was adopted by the forest’s wolves) and a mining town called Iron Town while trying to lift a curse put on him by a giant boar demon that was attacking his village. Chances are that you’ll love it, but I find it largely too long and gruesome for repeated consumption, even compared to the more brazenly gory movies featured in this guide. Spirited Away (2. Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi(. If Western audiences hadn’t heard of Studio Ghibli before, Spirited Away. The movie follows Chihiro as she and her family get caught in a bizarre spirit world and how she tries to overcome fear and adversity to escape this strange land. Easily one of the weirder animes in existence, but not even close to being the weirdest in this guide. Spirited Away most definitely deserved its Oscar. Howl’s Moving Castle (2. Hauru no Ugoku Shiro(. This magical anime follows the quest of a girl named Sophie to restore her youth that was stolen by the Witch of the Waste. She seeks out a sorcerer named Howl and his moving castle not knowing what kind of troubles and strange adventures await her. The animation in this movie is gorgeous and it has, in my opinion, the single best soundtrack of almost any anime to date. Definitely worth watching more than once. Ponyo (2. 00. 8)Gake no Ue no Ponyo (. While not my absolute favourite Ghibli movie, this is certainly one of the better ones. The story in Ponyo tends to be a bit slow even compared to most other Ghibli movies, but as a whole it just pleasantly takes its time instead of truly plodding along. It follows a little goldfish- like girl thing called Ponyo and her sudden transformation into a human after accidentally tasting human blood while healing a cut on a little boy named Sosuke’s finger. The turning point in the story is Ponyo’s love of Sosuke and how that threatens to not only change her life permanently, but also the world at large. There is much to be seen with this movie’s fantastic visual style, slightly different from previous Ghibli offerings with more pastels and simpler shading. Wholly recommended to everyone, this is a must- see Ghibli movie. The Wind Rises (2. Kaze Tachinu (. Not only is it a farewell to one of anime’s most celebrated directors, it is also a movie with less universal appeal than most other Ghibli features. The Wind Rises is a highly romanticized biopic of Jiro Horikoshi, the designer of the two main fighter aircraft used by Japan in WWII. It focuses on Jiro’s extreme 1. Japanese work ethic and how it, along with a love of planes, propelled him to the forefront of his field during the war and how he met his wife in the midst of it all. History buffs will certainly scoff at the movie’s very nonchalant embellishment of Jiro’s life and how it not only views such a tumultuous time through rose- coloured glasses, but draws the vast majority of its poignancy from its entirely fabricated story elements instead of even mildly addressing the deep- seated problems of the time. I, being automatically adverse to most historical features, don’t particularly care about how many of the movie’s plot points Miyazaki made up because they largely just serve to inject some much- needed conflict and excitement into the film’s proceedings. On the whole, The Wind Rises can’t be called a bad movie but it ends up being close to the slowest film that Ghibli has produced in the last couple of decades. I figure that since it was his last hurrah, Miyazaki decided to make a movie for himself where he got to have all kinds of the fancy planes that he enjoys so much doing cool (to plane enthusiasts) things instead of one that would be guaranteed to appeal to audiences worldwide like Ghibli’s classic fantasy fare. While The Wind Rises may feel like a bit of a disappointment to some because of its plodding pace and niche subject matter, I think we owe it to Miyazaki to appreciate his final film for what it is (a story about the value of emotion, focus and commitment to a goal) and be thankful for all of the amazing characters and worlds that he brought to life throughout his illustrious directing career. Isao Takahata. Grave of the Fireflies (1. Hotaru no Haka (. The movie even begins with Seita, the older boy, explaining about the day that he died. The movie follows the last few weeks in the lives of Seita and Setsuko before their untimely deaths in WWII Japan. This is definitely a tear- jerker, and probably the saddest anime movie that I have ever seen. Realistic, touching, and scary, this movie is for anime what Schindler’s List is for live action. Only Yesterday (1. Omohide Poro Poro (. Only Yesterday follows a woman named Taeko and how she comes to grips with reality through constant flashbacks to her past. Her past self even literally follows her around sometimes in a rather eerie manner. The movie’s tone overall is a lighthearted one and is rather shojo (girly). It deals a lot with Taeko’s relationships and her life- long search for a loving husband. With this in mind, the anime is enjoyable and worth the time, but I’d suggest developing a bit of a taste for Ghibli movies before you take this one head on if you’re a bit wary.
