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 :)

🧹My two favorite Miyazaki’s and the ones that make me feel like I could do anything

Long story short, I think I first watched it when I was around 9 or 10. I had just moved to a new place, didn’t know anyone yet, and had recently become friends with someone who ended up being really special in my life. I remember her brother had this huge movie collection, and one day they invited me over to watch something and it was Spirited Away. So not only did that moment mark the beginning of our friendship, but the film also became one of my all-time favorites because of everything it represents. I’m not the kind of person who usually watches the same movie over and over, but this one was an exception! I’ve watched it countless times. Back then, it sort of became our thing to watch movies together, and I think that’s when I really started falling in love with films.
