Helloooo Pia, hope the day is treating you well so far!

I was wondering if maybe you have seen any of the Spiderverse movies and if you enjoyed them? I thought you might like it because a lot of love went into the different animation styles and there're a lot of big whump characters considering it's meant to be a "kid's movie"

But maybe it's not your thing?

Hi anon!

It's currently evening (actually it's nearly midnight), timezones are strange huh?

I have seen the Spiderverse movies and I did enjoy them! The latest one is the first movie I've seen I think since 2019. (Being disabled means I'm still masking up in most places and not doing most things and until everyone else decides to mask up to protect me, I'm fucked basically for my life ever getting back to normal again).

But anyway, I did enjoy it. :) I don't really actively ship anyone (haven't looked for fic) but if I did, it would absolutely be Miles and er, the character we meet right at the end ;) (I don't want to say, because spoilers).

Providing a deep analysis of all Studio Ghibli films would be an extensive undertaking, considering the studio's rich and diverse catalog. However, I can highlight key themes and elements that are often present in their films.

1. **Spirited Away (2001):** Explores identity, environmentalism, and the spirit world. The bathhouse setting is a metaphor for societal structures.

2. **My Neighbor Totoro (1988):** Focuses on the innocence of childhood, the connection to nature, and the acceptance of mystery.

3. **Princess Mononoke (1997):** Tackles environmentalism, the clash between industrialization and nature, and the complexity of human relationships with the environment.

4. **Howl's Moving Castle (2004):** Examines themes of war, love, and transformation, set against a backdrop of magical realism.

5. **Grave of the Fireflies (1988):** A powerful anti-war film exploring the impact of conflict on two siblings during World War II.

6. **Kiki's Delivery Service (1989):** Focuses on self-discovery, independence, and the challenges of growing up.

7. **The Wind Rises (2013):** Tells the story of an aeronautical engineer against the backdrop of historical events, reflecting on creativity, passion, and the moral implications of invention.

8. **Porco Rosso (1992):** Explores themes of identity, war, and redemption through the tale of a World War I flying ace transformed into a pig.

9. **Castle in the Sky (1986):** Features an adventurous tale with themes of environmentalism and the consequences of human greed.

10. **Whisper of the Heart (1995):** Focuses on adolescence, dreams, and self-discovery, emphasizing the importance of pursuing one's passions.

These brief insights into a selection of Studio Ghibli films highlight their exploration of diverse themes, including environmentalism, identity, and the human connection with nature. Each film is a unique artistic expression that often combines fantasy with deep, thought-provoking narratives.

Yall wanna know something crazy?

My Neighbor Totoro and Grave of the Fireflies.

Were released in theaters

Together. As a double feature.

Apparently different theaters would show them in different orders. And I can't decide which is worse.

Because your instinct might be "oh, end with Totoro because it isn't depressing."

Except...the last act of Totoro is when Mei, the little sister, is missing and everyone is freaking out because what if she's hurt or worse. There's a long minute there where you think Mei might have *drowned in a pond.* but you're like "well, it's a Ghibli movie. They aren't going to kill off the 4 year old little sister at the end of a Ghibli movie"

Unless.

You just finished Fireflies.

There's beauty in everything.
