All great films, though Totoro is the only absolutely perfect one, and on my all-time top ten list...

(Also, there's some great news. Miyazaki, who has been threatening to retire for quite some time now, is making another film -- Ponyo on a Cliff -- to be released in Japan in 2008!)

I can't really rank them, as I've only seen Spirited Away and 15 minutes of Nausicaa. Spirited Away was great though.

I wouldn't rank Grave of the Fireflies since... I barely remember it, and I didn't really like it. Maybe it was because I watched the dubbed version. :sweat:

Spirited Away was fine, Princess Mononoke gave me a headache. Whatever. I can't really watch anime. I have a serious aesthetic aversion to it. It makes my skin crawl. I can't stand to look at it. :sick:

I'd love to be open to anything, but man...I just find it so visually repulsive. I ain't proud of it, but there ya go.

It's not a measured reaction, just a gut thing; I can't stand to look at anime, even for a second. Even as I enjoyed Spirited Away in bits and spurts I had to suffer just to get through the end.

Bizarre, I know. Yet I can think of no greater personal turn off. Even a cursory glance during some unfortunate channel surfing makes me cringe and my stomach tighten, just a little.

I wonder if it constitutes a phobia.

I know Kiki has received some criticism for being a bit bland, but i completely fell into the story. I was a little befuddled by the cat not being able to talk at the end, but having read the director's reasons i'm satisfied if not a little irked.

Only a couple left to see now :(

I'm jealous you've seen Cagliostro, where'd you find it? It's not Ghibli, but it's the only Miyazaki I haven't seen (not counting Ponyo of course).
