Mononoke Hime is my favorite Ghibli movie.
I had seen Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi first, and when i saw Mononoke i thought "this eats Spirited Away for breakfast" it was ten time better than an already great movie. I since have seen all the Ghibli movies except only yesterday.

I thought Princess Mononoke was 100 times better than Spirited Away. The latter was good, but I found it forgettable. The former touched on the humans in the context of other biota issue which I was interested in anyway. And I liked the way it showed several sides to the issue.

Favourite Ghibli movie? Toss up between Laputa, Grave of the Fireflies and Mononoke. Laputa slowly grew on me as I realised it shows some pretty deep ideas in a very lucid way.

I actually don't care for Mononoke Hime as much as many other Ghibli movies. Its a fantastic film, but there's parts I don't care for.

My favourite is probably Laputa. It may not have quite the same magical element as Spirited Away, but something about it really captured me. I agree with the description from the poster above. I love all the ones that I've seen, though there are a couple I still need. I personally thought that Pom Poko was an amazing film, but not as sophisticated as many of the others. It had a unique charm to it, though.

Princess Mononoke. First Studio Ghibli movie I ever saw & I loved it right away.

Porco Rosso and Laputa are pretty much tied for me.

Princess Mononoke - one of my favorites ever

animegurl · September 17th, 2007, 11:25 PM

I absolutely love Whisper of the heart and Nausica: of the Valley of the Wind. I'm actualy purchasing them both. lol

Vig Brastle · September 21st, 2007, 05:36 PM

spirited away was the first I saw , I loved it due to it's different nature and 'what the' factor

next to that would have to be my neighbour totoro, it has a catchy tune and THE CAT BUS!

next in line i'd say princess mononoke for the simple fact there is a wolf involved

Princess Mononoke was the first anime dvd that i ever purchased. being a novice anime fan, the type of ending in it confused me and left me "what the f*ck?" because i was used to american endings. Ashitaka kicked some a$$.

but Nausicaa is kicka** too. in the anime she went ballistic, but in the manga shes a little more agressive....now only if i can find volume 6. cause im not skipping. and the manga is sooooooo different from the anime.

Texcap · September 24th, 2007, 08:53 AM

My Neighbor Totoro is likely my favorite (watched it yesterday with my nieces, in fact). Followed very closely by Whisper of the Heart & Laputa, Castle in the Sky to round out a Top-3.

Love 'em all though!

I like the newer one, Tales of EarthSea.

It's hard to pick a favorite. I gues it comes down to Howl's Moving Castle and Princess Mononoke.

Caster13 · October 9th, 2007, 11:32 AM

never seen Howl's Moving Castle. gotta check it out sometime.
