Studio Ghibli

And I have to say, there are some anime, you know, that I grew a different appreciation for it The anime movies, kind of like when I was at university and studying some stuff, you know, we looked at Kiki's Delivery Service and we looked at a bunch of the Howl's Moving Castle, obviously.

I always look at Studio Ghibli.

Even though it is anime, I always have it down as its own section of anime because it always feels different to regular anime.

Definitely think it feels different to the TV stuff.

once.

The first one that comes to mind is Studio Ghibli and...

Oh, God.

Howl's Moving Castle.

Because I did a Miyazaki run.

Well, no, I did a Ghibli run.

And I honestly found myself gravitating towards a different director than Miyazaki

in that

And we talked about Kitano earlier, and I feel like in his films, his Yakuza films, he does something similar where the score is very untraditional.

It's Joe Hisaishi, a guy who made a bunch of scores for Studio Ghibli.

Fantastic.

And I've always interpreted the score in those films as reflections of the main character.

Um, like Princess Manioke and I think Spirited Away.

What's that? Ghibli.

Yeah, Stubli Ghibli.

There's a lot of those.

I think I have to look.

He posts, he posts AI enhanced pictures to make his jaw look really like, like Kig and Chad looking.

People were really get, people were catfishing back when the, that, uh, anime Ghibli.

Everybody was making anime Ghibli, purchasing themselves a chat GPT.

Everybody was making themselves look really young.

You know what's another catfish that has nothing to do with AI? It's those workout pants, those yoga pants girls wear to the gym that make their ass look really, really tight.

Um, oh, all these sketches of, uh, of, uh, Forko are pretty good.

Um, oh, I can't- Um, Emmeline gave me a, uh, Studio Ghibli, uh, guessing game quiz on Tubi yesterday.

I cannot wait for you to hear how I, like, completely fucked that up, because if I had just asked...

I went into, like, guessing characters, and if I had just asked one more, like, category question, I probably would have nailed it, but of course I didn't.

Reading manga, yes.

And watching Studio Ghibli stuff.

And I think the more you play video games, especially Japanese video games, I think you can see the influence.

You know, so many JRPGs are just a very, like you say, anime sort of storylines that are a bit weird and you've got to suspend your disbelief a bit.
