Rec'd on 🪴 Underrated ghibli movies + why you should watch?

In my opinion this is the best Ghibli film. Yes, I always say Howl’s Moving Castle is my favourite, and it is my favourite as it’s the one I saw first and I have sentimental attachment to it. But I think that Nausicaä is the actual best Ghibli film. A moving sci-fi/war film with an environmental message. Beautifully animated and colourful.

howl's moving castle (2004)

My favorite work from Hayao Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli, as well as one of the first anime I watched when I was a kid and didn't even know what anime was (the first was Pokemon lol). The nostalgia is real but I connect with this film so much more in my late twenties.
When I think of Howl's Moving Castle, I think of love and just how life-changing it can be when you meet someone new who ends up being someone important and special. When people are positive influences on each other and they are for the better from having met and maintaining those bonds. Quite frankly, I live for this shit. This is ofc most evident between the two leads Howl and Sophie, but it's not exclusive to them.
I also think of just how goddamn beautiful and magical this movie is to watch, but that's pretty par for the course when it comes to Miyazaki/Ghibli :)

Castle in the sky

I’m not sure if this one counts as underrated but it’s my favourite!
the music (esp the opening scenes), the dynamic between Pazu and Sheeta (Pazu is the sweetest ghibli hero imo), giant robots, ancient floating castles, the usual ghibli focus on nature, love, friendship, etc etc
oh and of course the old lady sky pirate and her band of idiot sons
another honourable mention has gotta be Nausicaä
