Hey let’s go! Hey let’s go! Let’s go to a magical place… a time of youthful innocence, wonder and imagination… Lets’s go to the world of My Neighbor Totoro. The classic Ghibli animated film, released in 1988, about two young girls named Satsuki and Mei who discover that the spirits of the forest are all around them and are quite friendly at that. In the last 30 years, My Neighbor Totoro has gone on to be a considered a timeless classic by many.
The film perfectly mixes the human world with that of the surreal Many places and things in the film have real life counterparts. For example, you can see Mitsuya Cider and Sayama Tea in the background. Tokorozawa is also the name of the town where the film takes place, and is a real town, north of Tokyo. The design of Mei was based on directer Hayao Miazaki’s niece as well.
I have found the exact date of when My Neighbor Totoro actually takes place, by looking at small clues left in the movie by the animators. I’ll show you them and then you too can know exactly when the events in the film take place.
The only way to fully explain WHEN things happen involves spoiling the plot…. So if you haven’t seen it yet, and don’t want it ruined, then stop right now, go watch it and then come back.
The story of “My Neighbor Totoro begins when the Kusakabe Family moves to the countryside of Saitama Prefecture. The father works as an archeologist at a university in Tokyo and takes care of his two daughters Satsuki and Mei while their mother is the hospital with an illness. The family decides to move away from the city to be closer to where mom is staying.

Great detective work, man! 30 years was also famously used in the Back to the Future movies… 😉

Great video! But one question if I may, why did you change your name to Gaijillionaire?
October 9, 2018 @ 11:43 pm
30 years is also how old the movie is this year!
October 9, 2018 @ 11:44 pm

Hi there! I’m a new subscriber. I came over to your channel, after watching Paul (Critical Eats Japan) speak about you in his last video. I truly enjoyed what you did here! Your attention to detail is amazing! This video brought back so many wonderful memories for me. You see, our one and only son watched “My Neighbor Totoro,” over and over and over again—while growing up, which meant that my husband and I watched it over and over and over again with him. ☺️ Well our son is now in his 3rd year at college. We are empty-nesters’ and missing him so much, so thank you for the wonderful memories of this very classic fun movie!
October 9, 2018 @ 11:57 pm
Nicely done, I’ve always wondered this myself 🙂 I would love to see you estimate the date in other Ghibli movies as well!
October 10, 2018 @ 12:00 am
CriticalEatsJapan sent me, I look forward to watching more videos! I can’t wait to watch My Neighbor Totoro as well, great video.
October 10, 2018 @ 12:01 am
Wow wow great job Sherlock! ? Being a Totoro I’m a bit confused how you changed Ghibli logo at the very start (^_^)
October 10, 2018 @ 12:02 am
Great detective work, yet again!
October 10, 2018 @ 12:02 am
This was so cute and heartwarming, I love it 😀
October 10, 2018 @ 12:02 am
Great video! I’m a huge fan of Ghibli, especially My Neighbour Totoro
October 10, 2018 @ 12:03 am
This was just amazing! I guess every movie has its secrets
October 10, 2018 @ 12:03 am
Well done sir, great video ?
October 10, 2018 @ 12:05 am
I hope you all enjoy this video! I noticed the calendars a while back but I’m surely not the first one to do so. Let me know what you think!
October 10, 2018 @ 12:08 am

October 10, 2018 @ 12:13 am
I’m glad they celebrated its 30th anniversary by rereleasing the movie in theaters in France (though my local cinema still shows the movie).
October 10, 2018 @ 12:13 am
Hey! I’m coming over from Paul’s channel over at critical eats! 🙂
October 10, 2018 @ 12:14 am
Paul from Critical Eats recommended your channel looking forward to watching ?
October 10, 2018 @ 12:14 am
Great video! I most definitely going to check out your other videos! Tank you for that investigation haha 🙂
Btw, Critical eats japan send me here 😉
October 10, 2018 @ 12:18 am
🙂
October 10, 2018 @ 12:24 am
Great investigating skills! Watching this makes me want to go back and watch the movie again. It’s such a nice chilled movie.
October 10, 2018 @ 12:27 am
Good deduction! Looking back 30 years seems about perfect when the film came out (kinda like the way Back to the Future’s 1955 also played into its original debut).
October 10, 2018 @ 12:27 am
Totally destroys the film theorists. A million times better than that!!
