What was your first?

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

Princess Mononoke for me as well. A great film. Still probably my favorite of them all.

Princess Mononoke was the one to take my virginity.

[Depression Moon]

The only one I've seen is Howl's Moving Castle and did we get a new sub-forum?

[Shlup]

I can't wait until Bailey is old enough to watch Totoro with me. Though I think Ponyo's my favorite.

[Loony BoB]

Spirited Away. It wasn't my favourite. That probably goes to Princess Monoke or My Friend Totoro or something.

My Friend Totoro

EDIT: Wow, Wikipedia tells me this is actually a thing that My Neighbour Totoro was titled as. I will continue to though, because I'll be damned if I back down now.

[Loony BoB]

I just generally call it "that Totoro one". In my defence, it allowed me to avoid the awful American spelling of neighbour. Also in my defence, let's face it, if we want to get technical about such things we could go and say Tonari no Totoro or となりのトトロ. Yay Wikipedia?

Will happily concede that My Friend Totoro is not the correct translation and settle on My Bro Totoro.

Spirited Away for me, in the UK they show it on TV every year around Christmas time and five or six years ago they showed it on Christmas day.

After being blitzed off my face and eating my own body weight in food I like to sit down and fall asleep with a movie for a couple of hours in the afternoon at Christmas, but I enjoyed Spirited Away so much I stayed awake from start to finish. It also started my love of anime, and even now I'm still working through a lot of the popular stuff before moving on to the more niche titles.

Spirited Away was my first and I wasn't sure what I thought of it the first time round. The second time I loved it though. My favourite Ghibli film is probably Howl's Moving Castle. I just fell in love with it.


They got me watching a lot of other classic Anime stuff as well like Grave of the Fireflies. Me and my friend Chris actually watched Akira at 11pm at night in a cinema in Glasgow a few years ago. It was ridiculously good.

Ah man, you were at Scotland Loves Anime at the GFT? Matt and I try to go every year. xD

Thats the one! It was great.

For some reason Chris took us both to the casino afterwards about 2am. That was a particularly poor move.

[chionos]

Nausicaä. Then Kiki's, then Laputa, I believe. I think I truly fell in love, though, when I watched Totoro, which was like 4th or 5th. And they've all grown on me even further over time. I think this is especially true of Kiki's Delivery Service.

[noxious.sunshine]

Mononoke. I didn't really get it though, so I didn't like it.

Must go on a Ghibli marathon now and watch all of them.

Spirited Away. I saw it in college, as the Anime Club had an open screening of it. This was before the English dub & I loved it. I still do.
