and it’s not even close.
this family comedy was so special to me during my childhood— I remember so many of the shenanigans in such vivid detail. the drama is hilarious when you’re a kid and probably even more hilarious when you’re an adult. one of my fav scenes is the mom telling everyone about the snow outside but no one is even paying attention bc of this thing they’re watching on tv— ik my description is not making it sound all that funny but it just reminded me so much of my family dynamics.
anyway idt I’ve ever heard ANYONE recommend this movie outside of the family who showed it to me, but it’s probably my favorite ghibli film after spirited away. would love to know if anyone else enjoyed this movie!!
(okay whisper of the heart is pretty good though)

warm and intimate vignettes that build so well on each other, characters are simple but immediately familiar. unique pared down animation style for ghibli, hits u in the soul by the end

one of my favorite movies ever… it’s about a girl discovering herself, what she wants to do and how to get there. It’s so delicate and human
It’s also top animation, Tokyo in the 90s, cat themed, and you got the realest most sweet romance you will want to throw up while watching it
I’ll stop now but I could write a book about this movie… maybe i feel specially connected to this film bc im also lost at life but still a ghibli must watch

ik only allowing one image per rec is part of the vibe but it would be cool if you could sorta chain image recs together, twitter style. mostly I’m just trying to make painting recs in the future without it being a hassle
