A biased review about something pure and kind that shaped me as a child.
As a child, I probably watched the English version of this over 100 times. "Soaring" and "I'm Gonna Fly" are precious songs to me, to the extent I felt I'd tear up if I heard them again, and I did. I remember my mother would constantly quote Osono's lines about the pacifier. As odd as it may be to a…

One of the greatest joys of childhood is discovering what you like to do--Learning new things, finding new hobbies, developing a talent. If a child likes to draw, someo…
Miyazaki’s fourth directorial effort comes as an adaptation of the children’s novel by the same name. He was working on a different feature during the making of Kiki, and it was relegated to a different director and animation team. However, when Miyazaki viewed a draft of the film he was displeased…
Truly a classic, it finds a way to balances relatability and mudaneness, with a sense of otherworldly joy and whimsy.

As my ongoing quest to complete all the Ghibli movies that I missed as a child continues, I have finally knocked another one off the list, that being __Kiki’s Delivery Service__ and I loved it. Even though I personally st…
A slice of life movie with coming of age elements that really showcase Ghibli Studio's abilities in a different context
To set expectations correctly, this review is being written under a subjective lens and mainly enjoyment. If you come to expect opinions from a very critical sense, wrong place. A lot of people online come to expect reviews as such, this review ain’t gonna be like that. I just like to talk about…
The orchestral music, consoling visuals, and themes pacify the world into the warmest piece of media ever created.

Not that it has much to do with the review itself but figured it was worth pointing out, this was the first anime film I’ve ever watched. Not that I recall much of what that experience was like as I was in diapers and barely a year old, and it was through…
A breath of fresh air amidst the current AI slop trend
In the current landscape where social media is rampant with everyone and their friends “_ghiblifying_” their favorite photos of shared, precious memories, one cannot help but feel it paints a rather grim future. In no way am I trying to police what people can and should do for their own amusement, b…

I’ve watched a few Ghibli films and more specifically Hayao Miyazaki films such as Mononoke and while I must say that on a technical and story level I truly appreci…
A coming-of-age story, where the ordinary and the magical come together
_Kiki's Delivery Service_ is a lighthearted coming-of-age story revolving around Kiki, as she discovers more of the world outside of the rural town she grew up in.
While it has a very simple plot, there's something unique about the setting, theming, and pacing that all seem to really work together…

She must say goodbye to her family, strike out on her own, and find a way to use her magic to support herself for one year before she can return home a f…

I didn't know quite what to expect from my 2nd Hayao Miyazaki movie, the 1st one being Princess Mononoke, but I was simply underwhelmed and frankly, bored while watching it in the cinema IMAX re-release. It’s simply not a movie for adults living in a post-2020 frantic world. The message is transpare…
