That happened to me with Children who chase lost voices, by makoto shinkai! It was weird knowing that it was anime when I was older haha

Man, I remember watching this on TV as kid. One of my first exposures to Ghibli movies before I even knew what anime was.

i watched a explanation vid on YT once. They said that in the used reference (i think its a book) sofie herself is a witch too but doesnt know it or smthg and the spell of the waste witch wasnt even permanant but sofie adopted it due to her lacking confidence and self love. thats why it kept changing and was `cured`in the end.

Jordi Ale

next one please Mononoke Princess!!

Mei Nano

Hey guys, Thanks for the reaction! I recommend you next Weathering with you, a lovely movie

Elisa Kallai

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. I watched the movie on my own, and then their reaction and it was a lot better

Sasha

It must have been 8 pm already since Brig almost fell asleep few times there.

Sasha

I always watch the shows/movies before watching the reaction video.

Kevin Man

Nausicaa and castle in the sky are also equally amazing

Arely Ibarra

Both Spirited away and Princess Mononoke are GREAT!!

Alexis Hunting

Weathering with You! ☔️

all studio ghibli films are amazing! another one that's pretty adorable, if you're just looking for a fun movie with really innocent vibes, is 'ponyo'. as for the pronunciation this put it better than i could have: Ghibli is actually an Italian word, which Hayao Miyazaki had taken from a WW2 fighter plane (the Caproni Ca.309 Ghibli), and is technically pronounced GIB-LEE (like Gibson Guitars). That said, Hayao Miyazaki had only read the word in a book, and didn’t know how it was pronounced, so he pronounced it JIB - LEE (like the word gibberish). In Japanese there is no proper way to pronounce the syllables that make up the word Ghibli, so Japanese people usually say JEE - BUH - REE. Simply though, Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli use JIB - LEE.

I recommend "Castle in the sky" by studio Ghibli. Its Ghibli's first movie and its sososo good. (pls watch it in subbed the voice actor is so good trust me). Aldo ghibli pronounce as ji-bu-li.

Katrina Stalter

It would be fantastic to see you guys react to one of these Animes: 🤩 Given, Sasaki and Miyano, or No.6, in ENGLISH DUB!!, Please nooo Subbed!!!😵😱

Lenny Wikberg V

yooo, i was gonna say that! tbh i think its really underrated, would definitely recommend Sword of the Stranger!

Joey Sabishii

Your next anime movie I recommend “Sword of the stranger”

y are you mad

this

Elisa Kallai

Ngl I understood almost nothing of the whole movie... please put subtitles on your next movie reaction, thanks!!

Anna

My all time favorite!!!! It’s based on a book, the blonde woman is Sophie’s step mom and Lettie is her half sister through her. Sophie really is a witch / has magic the whole time but doesn’t realize until the end. If Addie hasn’t read it yet, the book is hilarious and has the same whimsical vibe. Also has a lot of extra detail, totally recommend!!

Crowderr

loved this

Asbjørn Kennedy

It was nice to revisit this movie with y’all! In terms of Ghibli movies I think this was my favorite when I was younger but TBH all the big ones have a very similar quality to them and are more or less equally good! So if you want more, there is definitely more!

Lew

One of my all time favorite movies, it's so sweet and wholesome. Makes me smile no matter how many times I watch it, glad you guys enjoyed!!!

giselle 🫧

The animation is amazing in this film I especially love Howl’s room 😩 and the field of flowers for sophie 🥹

Ash

PLEASE WATCH SPIRITED AWYA NEXTTTT

devakira

And like people said above it would be nice to put the subtitles to have a better understanding of what the characters are saying >:D (I'm not an english native speaker so it was a little bit tough to understand everything)

devakira

I'm really happy that you liked this movie, especially the strange/fantastic side! And well done for guessing so quickly that Sophie's appearance reflects the way she sees herself, (in some ways it's a journey in search of her self-confidence). All the Ghibli movies were part of my childhood so it makes me so nostalgic (every time I watch the films again, I hear the music,... I get a tear in my eye). Anyway, thank you for that and looking forward to seeing more of your reactions to the Ghibli movies!

leah

you guys would love princess mononoke i think

Alison

Yall just need a whole Ghibli movie folder at this point. There are so many amazing movies.

Alison

I haven't seen this one recommended yet, but another amazing Ghibli movie is Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. Top tier movie and it's so slept on. The creatures and world in it make you question if Miyazaki was on something. Also, fun fact, Nausicaa is the first Studio Ghibli movie released in America in 1985. It was released just before the studio's official founding. The first released version was heavily edited, renamed, and cut almost 25 minutes from the original - it also made Miyazaki hesitant to release any more of his works outside of Japan. In 1997, when another director approached Mizayaki with another edited version of the film but with the original title, Studio Ghibli producer Toshio Suki sent a Katana sword to the American director's office with "NO CUTS" embedded in its blade. And thus, when the American rights to the film returned to Miyazaki, with Disney's help, the original form of the film - in English dub - was released in America in 2003.

spring deerling

Omg for real?

spring deerling

Omg I'm so excited, my other favorite Ghibli movie is castle in the sky!

MaraReaper

Princess Mononoke!!!!!

MissJodles

Even Akira’s poster/artwork is one of the most iconic and heavily referenced images in film and pop culture to this day, it is ABSOLUTELY a must-watch!

Ken

Spirited Away is another great film from ghibli

Marlon

Akira would also be an amazing one

Marlon

Next up you should watch Princess Mononoke, its my favorite film by him

izzy

Omgg you guys definitely gotta watch princess mononoke its actually one of my fav movies of all time just in general

Saki

Another pleasant suprise! Howls is such a classic, and I like how it was mentioned how its just such a wholesome movie as well, because ghibli does those sooo well. They really know how to intertwine meaningful messages into their stories while also retaining some semblance of wholesomeness/beauty of the world within it. And I'd be totally down to see any of them really, but also vote princess mononoke for next ghibli movie (its one of my personal favorites too)! Also hoping for weathering with you, in part because of the cameos from your name, but also just cuz its a great movie too~

rosa_gris

Found family in Howl’s Moving Castle ❤️ My favourite things about the movie are the characters and the world in which they live in. The plot is pretty non-coherent, which is the biggest criticism of the movie (and Miyazaki’s other works). But his movies are more like an experiences that resonate with you. Howl’s Moving Castle is definitely the type of movie you have to rewatch to pick up on the subtle details. I agree that Princess Mononoke should be the next Ghibli movie!

Elina

This movie is 100% my comfort movie. There's so many fun little details too. Idk if anybody else in the comments has said it but one of my favorite details is near the start of the movie when Sophie is cooking and Howl says "Calcifer you're being so obedient" and calcifer says that Sophie bullied him and howl says "not just anyone can do that." Calcifer is Howl's heart so basically Howl's heart is already listening to Sophie. Same with in the very first scene where Howl saves Sophie from the guards he says "Sorry I'm late Ive been looking everywhere for you." And it's because he literally has been looking everywhere for her ever since the younger him saw her when she traveled to the past. Ugh god I love this movie.

Ale

I loooove this movie!!! Thank you guys for reacting to it, I'm sooo glad you enjoyed it!!! I remember watch this as a teen, I'll be forever in love with Howl 😭♥️ I recommend Spirited away if we continue with Ghibli, that's my absolute favorite! You should also consider watch Paprika!!

Kyosuke Kagami

next up: WEATHERING WITH YOU after that: SUZUME

Mitosdomain

Such a good watch. PRINCESS MONONOKE NEXT :')

Lily

Now, please watch Princess Mononoke Sub❤️❤️❤️

Poragami

Well, nostalgia is also a big factor.

teagan

probs my fave ghibli movie

y are you mad

subtitles wouldve been nice tho because often times you cant understand whats going on in the conversations in the movie

Tiga

Josh Hutcherson (Peeta in hunger games, and Jesse in Bridge to Terabithia) plays Markl btw

Mysterious Figure

Guys watch Spirited Away in sub please and Princess Mononoke is a MUST in sub!

Ryan O

Switching up Danny DeVito for Billy Crystal for Calcifur is a good laugh

Lenny Wikberg V

It’s great cause all the stuff they liked about it can apply to like every Ghibli movie

Brig Andrus

Saidah

Meh agree to disagree. Although I do think princess Mononoke is better in sub

Jyle

aww I wish addie could’ve maybe reacted to this with you guys then! I’m sure she would love to see what you guys think.

Jyle

omg when did they mention reacting to this!!

Erotika

Watching this a second time really hits differently. Howls “there you are I’ve been looking for you” at the beginning just 🫠🥹

Romeo

2024 gonna be a lit year for anime let’s goo

Cannon Andrus

acorns

omg yayyyy!!!

Poragami

So is every other Ghibli movie's dub, but it's still better in sub.

y are you mad

nice i was about to say at that big 3 poll that ghibli movies are a must watch :)

BrianTheWoeful

Very happy to see them slowly working their way through Ghibli films. They’re kinda like the Japanese Disney but a bit darker and stranger

BrianTheWoeful

It’s gotta be sub for that one, agreed

BrianTheWoeful

Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away are my favorite Miyazaki films

James

If you guys are going to continue with your Studio Ghibli journey, then I recommend watching Princess Mononoke next which a movie I really enjoyed watching as a kid. Also, I would save Spirited Away for last as that's one of the most iconic Studio Ghibli movies, and which won an Academy Award for best animated feature. It is also the second highest grossing anime movie behind Demon Slayer.

Saidah

Spirited aways dub is so good tho

Pavlo

Just realized i actually haven’t watched this😭 first time watching this with studio gek lets go?

Dugong

Lowkey you gotta go with the og, Nausicca and the Vally of the wind! It’s my favorite Ghibli and one off my favorite movie of all time! It’s cool, has an awesome world, great story, great music and some badass scenes! It’s not as popular as other ghibli films *cough cough* Spirited away. But it’s a masterpiece and you can start from the beginning of ghibli and see the progression in his works a little better!

BipolarKitten

Brig looks like Cole from My Life With The Walters Boys. I don't know, maybe its just me. I'm obsess with that guy.

BipolarKitten

3:30 The song is called Merry Go Round of Life. I am waltzing with my invisible partner around my house to this beautiful music.

Elaine

I initially watched this in sub but the dub is also pretty good. Much better imo. Such a fantastic watch

svtcaratft

I’m also curious..probably yes one movie in 1 month?

Elaine

All the one piece mention. Y’all should watch it soon 😌

Mia Malvik

This movie is cute. Princess Mononoke is the best thoughh, in sub ofc

anotherpatronmember

This movie btw is based on a novel, titled the same, which explains much more stuff in detail.

Savannah Rodriguez

Omg Im so so happy yall watched this!!!!

Poragami

Gosh, please please please watch Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away in sub.

Poragami

Akira is really not a necessary watch imo, i agree with the rest tho.

anotherpatronmember

Alejandro Garcia

pineapplegreg

Sterling

Oh they are great. Just something special when Batman calls us that, you know 🥰😂

Saidah

Omggg I’m commenting again but I keep forgetting things but I loved markel in this movie so much. For some reason I always tear up from his relationship with Sophie because of how wholesome it is. But yea just haddd to say that.

Saidah

Princess Mononoke for sure in sub. Spirited away in dub. Wolf children is a good movie too I would recommend.

Joie Dianzon

You should see his Japanese VA.

Teddy

I suddenly rmb my sister also had a crush on howl for the longest time lol. Princess Mononoke next!

YESSSS

kiiturii

would've been good with captions, bit hard to follow along at times, but good watch nonetheless, been like a decade since I last saw this

SoClose

Berserk movies, if your fans hate you.

SoClose

Akira is mandatory, to show you how mediocre a lot of modern animation can be. Memories (1995), Ghost in the Shell, any movie by Satoshi Kun. Cowboy Bebop and End of Eva once your fanbase develops taste and recommends those shows.

YOOOO

corLeonis

Wowwwwww I highly recommend Princess Mononoke 😊

Teaq

I can't wait to watch this tomorrow!!

DAI

Could you consider adding the subs or adjust volumes? I can barely hear what the characters are saying if it overlaps with you guys :(

Kite

Akira is a must

Tonis Tarc

Let's gooo🤩

PepsiMan

Princess Mononoke plss

Sterling

OMG MY FAVORITE !!!!!! The "that's my girl" gets me every time!!!! ♥

DAI

FYI, Hayao is a Military(especially WW2) Geek so that's why there are so many reference and fighter jets in the Ghibri movies.

Carrie

YES omg I've been waiting for this one!! I love a surprise upload & I LOVE a beautiful wizard/bird man 🪄💖🪶

⭐️—_—💧

How often are movies posted, once a month? I hope Spirited Away is next!

DAI

Studio Ghibri was named after the Italian aircraft by Hayao so it is supposed to be called "Giburi" but because Hayao misunderstand the pronounciation of it and it is kinda hard to pronounce "Giburi" as we Japanese, so Studio is officially calling it as "Jiburi". That's why it is written as Studio Ghibri in English but as スタジオジブリ(Su-Ta-Ji-O Ji-Bu-Ri) in Japanese.
