I seen several of studio Ghibli films and LOVE all of them! Studio is one of the top animation movie studio in the world. I don't know if I can compare it to the normal anime/manga that I'm used to. I love both type, the usual comedic yet dramatic typical anime/manga out there, but Studio Ghibli films are like.... epic. draws you into a whole other world, very fantasy-like with a whole entire different settings that most anime/manga doesn't.
I love anime/manga in general, I think Studio Ghibli are a very high-class films.
the ones I had a chance of watching are:
-Kiki's Delivery Service
-Pom Poko
-Spirited Away
-Grave of the Fireflies
-Laputa: Castle in the Sky
-Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
-My Neighbor Totoro
-Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea
-Princess Mononoke
-Whisper in the Heart
All of the movies are terrific. it's really brings you back to your childhood and just thinking about all those tales you heard from your parents and relatives, growing up with all those great fantasies that you always dream about.
Hayao Miyazaki really brings fantasy to life, while Isao Takahata's Grave of the Fireflies is a really amazing film, I cry everytime I just think about it. Yoshifumi Kondō's Whisper of the Heart is a very lovely film, it really makes me feel relaxed and just rest.
Joe Hisashi's music are amazing, totally love it.
there are still some more that I want to watch and I hope Studio Ghibli keeps making wonderful animated films, no other makes animated films they way they do.
I love anime/manga in general, but Studio Ghibli is in a totally different class.
I admit, I'm not a fan of Disney, and Disney pales in comparison to Studio Ghibli in making artistic, animated films.
I do like some Disney films, but most are not good.
P.S. One of the thing I love most about Hayao Miyazaki's films is the flying, it feels so good to fly and soar in the sky like in his films, especially those airships. looks so fun.
