I don't know what to put here.
It almost feels unnecessary for me to review this movie. Everybody knows about it. Everybody (who knows what they’re talking about) knows it’s a masterpiece. Is there really anything else I can add to the discussion surrounding this movie? No, but I still wanna talk about it anyway because I love th…
Read full review on AniList →It's a fantastic movie for children, but doesn't hold up well under scrutiny.
Moving away can be a tough situation, especially when you’re still a child. Your parents probably have a good reason to relocate… Changes in the economy, lucrative opportunities at work, declining property values and rising crime rates… But how is that supposed to matter to you when you’re being upr…
Read full review on AniList →Hayao Miyazaki's Oscar-winning adventure celebrates its 20th birthday.
I'll never forget October 28, 2018, for two reasons. The first is that it was my 20th birthday. The second is that it's the day I went to see a movie. It was a movie I already owned on Blu-ray and had seen several times, but that couldn't dull my enthusiasm. The movie in question was, of course, Hay…

_Spoilers for the film. TL:DR, go see it if you somehow haven't already. It's great. _
As previously mentioned, I never grew up with Studio Ghibli films, so my experience with Miyazaki animes are not based in any childhood nostalgia, and instead come from more recent viewings of _My Neighbor Totoro…
Read full review on AniList →Miyazaki's magnum opus about childhood innocence and bravery.
The very facet of childhood can be boiled down to the very definition of mysterious wonder and awe-inspiring imagination. We’ve all had those moments where we would go off into our little world of childlike imagination and try to experience an entirely new reality different from our own. Films have…

A infância é uma das fases mais importantes de uma pessoa, de lá irá começar fases de transições, mudanças, e seja elas fáceis de lidar ou não, é necessário se impor a elas e ter agência pra não estagnar em um ponto, sendo só mais uma pessoa a deriva de tudo sem nenhuma identidade. Curiosamente eu v…

# ___Heads up: this review is not spoiler-free___
This review maybe will be somewhat different than what you usually see in Anilist, as it is focused mostly on explaining the underlying meaning and messages of the film – but my personal opinion is still included.
Just to be clear – I think very h…

La Citta Incantata è un film che non muore mai, un cult senza tempo, un capolavoro che andrebbe visto anche solo per l’importanza culturale che ha ottenuto negli anni. Innanzitutto è stato l’unico film d’animazione giapponese ad aver mai vinto un premio Oscar, il lungometraggio ha anche parte dei me…

__THIS REVIEW IS SPOILER-FREE! Unless you click on the parts hidden with a spoiler warning, ofc.__

I think it's been a while since I watched a movie which feels so magical. I think it was when Haku suddenly appeared when the night cane, when Chihiro ran through the streets only to find out that…

Sofrimento de formação. A travessia de uma garota chatinha e desajeitada não só para recuperar os pais, mas para reafirmar seu amor. E assim como em ["O Serviço de Entregas da Kiki (1989)"](https://anilist.co/anime/512/Majo-no-Takkyuubin/), Miyazaki está interessado centralmente na questão do trabal…
Read full review on AniList →My first ghibli movie
Despite watching anime for quite a long time now, I still hadn't seen arguably the most iconic anime movie of all time. Due to me having in possession the first volumes of Kaze no Tani no Nausicaä from when I was kid, I was a little familiar with Miyazaki's works. His artstyle and technics absolutel…
Read full review on AniList →Spirited Away a story about characters growth and stunning visual scenery, and world building.
Spirited Away is a movie by Hayao Miyazaki, and one of the first anime I approached with Fullmetal Alchemist.
Spirited Away stroke me immediately by the vastness, and capability of the author in building a world that widened my imagination.
It is beautiful how the Shintoist religion aspect of the Ja…

I have watched it three times. First as a kid, then in high school and now. Unfortunately it did peak for me with a less developed brain. It is a very good movie, but contrasted with other Ghibli and Miyazaki you long for it to be better.
The world is beautiful, expressed with insane quality of ani…
