Thanks!! It’s good to see someone else doesn’t care that much about My Neighbor Totoro either. It may be the most overrated film of the list.

Have you not seen “Nausicaa” or did you accidentally leave it off your list?

It technically isn’t part of Ghibli so I left that one last on my watchlist. I will watch it next week. Heard it’s really good.

That list needs some Isao Takahata. He is just as good as Hayao.

Honorable mentions:

Their work on Neon Genesis Evangelion was spectacular (some of the best shots in the show are in Episode 11). The Red Turtle was fine, but their work was definitely less artistically influential than the European studios. Ni No Kuni was a pretty cute game, even if I wish the mechanics lived up to the sheer charm of the presentation that was missing in the Ghibli-less sequel.

The On Your Mark music video is one of the best music videos of all time, go watch it right now.

For Your Consideration:

Best Picture: Wolfwalkers

Best Animated Feature: Wolfwalkers
