I went on a Ghibli streak this year, seeing many of them for the first time, and there hasn’t been a single dud yet. And nearly every Miyazaki has been a masterpiece. I’m so glad you guys got to share this movie. Please do more Ghibli! When I watched “Kiki’s Delivery Service” earlier this year I had hearts in my eyes all the way through, so I think it would be great for you guys to react to.

Alex, watch this! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGp6grK1Cwo&ab_channel=KimonoMomKimonoMomVerified

Great reaction to a wonderful film.
Enjoy it before Studio Ghiblis attack dogs decimate this reaction.
🤷🏼♂️😁👍

I was 27 when this came out and it is a favorite of *mine*. Really perhaps one of Miyazaki’s best stories.
(That said, you both need to watch his earliest films: Laputa, Nausicaa, and Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro.)
September 10, 2022 @ 3:46 pm
Did you really call this a cartoon really
September 10, 2022 @ 3:47 pm
I love how after my second viewing, I recognized Lilo’s voice actor, Meg from Hercules voice actor, and Tara Strong’s voice actor….
September 10, 2022 @ 3:51 pm
jesus christ the dub
September 10, 2022 @ 3:51 pm
Hope you react to Howls moving castle.
September 10, 2022 @ 3:51 pm
"Legit anime"? Anime just means animation.
September 10, 2022 @ 3:51 pm
Jessa speaks heaps about the difference between coming of age generally.
September 10, 2022 @ 3:52 pm
Very happily surprised to see a Ghibli reaction video. I heard the studio was very restrictive on their movies.
Cool to see you enjoy this! Nice role reversal with Jessa being the one not seeing the movie before.
September 10, 2022 @ 3:53 pm
There are many excellent choices from Studio Ghibi I hope you get a chance to watch
– Howls Moving Castle
– My Neighbor Totoro
– Kikis Delivery Service
– Laputa : Castle in the Sky
There are plenty more but these I hold very dear .Enjoy.

Jessa : “SuperBook and Flying House are legit!!” 😄 …- Don’t worry Jessa, my siblings and I used to watch those too. I hope this is not your first and last Miyazaki film, because all of them are great!! … And Alex confessing She used to have a crush on Haku is like the cutest thing…
September 10, 2022 @ 3:53 pm
Every time I watch this movie, it serves to remind me, yet again, of just how great–how truly, truly great–I am.
September 10, 2022 @ 3:56 pm
It’s funny every time I watch this movie years later I completely forget the plot, only remember the visuals, then when I’m reminded of what happens I get completely emotional again and immediately forget what it’s about. Repeat into infinity.

As someone who loves onigiri, the rice balls here, they are absolutely DELICIOUS. Culturally they are to the Japanese what sandwiches are to say an American and were usually filled with salty or sour things (like pickled plums) that also act as a preservative allowing them to be carried for a surprising length of time before going bad. My favorite flavors though are salmon or bonito.
September 10, 2022 @ 3:57 pm
This is the only Miyazaki film I saw in the theater. It’s good but not a masterpiece like his other films.
September 10, 2022 @ 3:58 pm
Do you find HAKU is Chihiro’s brother?
September 10, 2022 @ 3:58 pm
I’m sorry, but all I can describe this movie is just "weird" (Mononoke is way better…)
September 10, 2022 @ 4:00 pm
I had a crush on Haku growing up too haha
September 10, 2022 @ 4:00 pm
You probably want to take this one down.. Studio Ghibli has been on the warpath with copyright strikes. A few reactors already lost their YouTube channels…
September 10, 2022 @ 4:00 pm
Try Pinto!
September 10, 2022 @ 4:01 pm
Y’all sang Wait For Me. If I didn’t love ya before, I do now! If you made a Hadestown vid I’d certainly watch it!! 🚂💀🌹
September 10, 2022 @ 4:01 pm
ANIME IS NOT A CARTOON 😠😠😠
September 10, 2022 @ 4:06 pm
it best to watch this many time tbh
after every watch i like it more specially now
September 10, 2022 @ 4:06 pm
Why English dubs?? Original versions with subs are so much better… as a consequence, I didn’t watch the reaction video, when i actually love your reactions. Might seem snob and all, but i truly can’t stand any kind of dubbed movie.
September 10, 2022 @ 4:08 pm
Excelente!! and this is the begining. Please check Ponyo in the cliff. Another side of tale The little Mermaid. Amazing Studio Ghibli masterpiece…or super romantic Howls moving castle. beautiful!!
September 10, 2022 @ 4:08 pm
One of my favorite movies. And Studio Ghibli is a true treasure. If you haven’t yet Nausicaa and Whisper of the Heart are as good as this (but be careful of the version of Nausicaa because the first dub was awful).
A note on her name. The Kanji for "Chi" is the same as the kanji for "Sen." So from "Chihiro" the first character is retained as "Sen." The kanji, pronounced either way, means "One thousand."
And yes…those triangular rice balls are good. But they are kind of Japanese fast food. Not amazing but satisfying.
And the music at the end just always makes me cry.
September 10, 2022 @ 4:08 pm
Onigiri ARE delicious. You can find them at your nearest Japanese (and even some Korean) grocery stores. 🙂
September 10, 2022 @ 4:09 pm
This was very good, loved the reactions and final thoughts 🙂
September 10, 2022 @ 4:11 pm
Joe Hisaishi’s music always brings a tear to my eyes
September 10, 2022 @ 4:11 pm
Best animated movie of all time… better than any Disney, Pixar, Dreamworks or other animated movie
September 10, 2022 @ 4:16 pm
ewww english dub
September 10, 2022 @ 4:18 pm
Please watch Princess Mononoke and Nausicaa
September 10, 2022 @ 4:19 pm
Awesome! Other great anime movies to check out are "Your name" "A silent voice" "weathering with you"
September 10, 2022 @ 4:20 pm
Try Howl’s Moving Castle uwu
September 10, 2022 @ 4:21 pm
The image that stays with me from this movie, is that little shadow girl standing on the train platform. I dunno why, she just seems so mysterious.
September 10, 2022 @ 4:22 pm
Why the fuck do people watch this in english?
September 10, 2022 @ 4:22 pm
Many of Miazaki’s movies have an explicitly environmental message. I quite like that this has only the one.
It’s helpful to have some familiarity with the animism of Japanese religion and culture for a full appreciation of the genius of this story.
September 10, 2022 @ 4:25 pm
This movie is so magical to me and I loved it! Rumor has it that in Japan at a studio Ghibli museum you get to see an exclusive clip of Chiro sees Haku in her school.
September 10, 2022 @ 4:27 pm
Have you seen the anime "Hibike! Euphonium". It’s about the imaginary Rikka High School Band. They’re suppose to be a famous unbeatable marching band nicknamed "Light-Blue Devils". The anime is based off of a real life high school band, the Kyoto Tachibana Senior High School Band, also known as the "Orange Devils". Recently it became very popular to react to the Kyoto Tachibana SHS Band, they are considered one of the top performing high school bands in the world, maybe you’ll like this to react to. https://youtu.be/toGxAWtWIM0

Why didn’t Kamjī keep Haku still when he was struggling; thrashing about, and hitting drawers with his tail? Kamajī was just standing there and watching. Because Chihiro was only keeping Haku’s jaws shut, he was free to thrash about with the rest of his body and make a mess. If only there were more people in the boiler room besides Chihiro; Haku, and Kamajī. They could’ve kept Haku still

Those are just japanese dumplings. If you know a little of Japanese food culture, you would have known about this
September 10, 2022 @ 4:28 pm
She forgets everything at the end but keeps her growth, which was done on purpose to make the audience feel like they also once had an adventure with a long forgotten friend, who we will all eventually return to.
September 10, 2022 @ 4:29 pm
I worked on the special features for the Disney DVD release 15ish years ago.
The hopping lamp was Miyazaki’s nod to Pixar.
Try why I consider the definition of movie magic, My Neighbor Totoro. There are several mostly wordless scenes that I would describe as actual perfection. And the kids are voiced by a very, very young Dakota and Elle Fanning (or as the original transcriber of their interview wrote before I retranscribed the whole thing, "Alf Annings.")
September 10, 2022 @ 4:32 pm
I think you would really really appreciate Studio Ghibli’s magnificent Tale of the Princess Kaguya. Once watched it never really leaves you.
September 10, 2022 @ 4:38 pm
Please show her princess mononoke
