    By the way, have you ever seen the Disney movie “hunchback of notre dame”? It’s one of my favorites and it’s musical might be even better. If you haven’t seen it already, I can highly recommend you to watch the movie (and maybe even the musical) at some point.

    The masterpiece from Miyazaki? I clicked so fast because this will be so damned heartwarming/breaking.

    It could by taken. Because Studio Ghibli will gladly give you strike or two.

    I would love to see you react to Akira (1988) and Ghost in the Shell (1995) 🙂

    Please be aware that studio ghibli is notorious for aggressivell copyright claims and destroying reaction channels with strikes!

    My GF made me watch this for the first time the other week. I loved the first couple of minutes. Then after that I was…well…what…what the actual EFF is going ON?!?🤷‍♀️😄

    I get the feeling Alex is going to get Jessa to watch “Akira” by telling her it isn’t violent.

    Ok, not a film, and not Miyazaki, but have you either of you two seen “Over the Garden Wall”? It’s a 10 episode miniseries starring Elijah Wood! Brilliant animated show!

    Wonderful reaction like always. But be aware that Studio Ghibli is not a friend of youtube and they tend to make a lot of trouble. Vkunia reacted to many Ghibli movies and was taken down by their lawyers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ustI4Tq3TY

    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…

    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.

    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.”)

    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.

    I’m sorry, but all I can describe this movie is just “weird” (Mononoke is way better…)

    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.)

    Great reaction to a wonderful film.
    Enjoy it before Studio Ghiblis attack dogs decimate this reaction.

    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…

    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.

    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 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.

    Every time I watch this movie, it serves to remind me, yet again, of just how great–how truly, truly great–I am.

    I think you would really really appreciate Studio Ghibli’s magnificent Tale of the Princess Kaguya. Once watched it never really leaves you.

    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.
