What a fantastic article!!! I love how you went into the many repetitive aspects and details that all of these movies share, even drawing attention to a lesser known Miyazaki movie like Whispers of the Heart (which is a personal favourite). Another Miyazaki movie that also fits into all of these repetitive categories is Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, and I only mention it because it is another one of Miyazaki’s epics (like Princess Mononoke) that I rarely see mentioned in discussions about Miyazaki. I will say though that after reading your article I want to go and have a Hayao Miyazaki movie marathon. Thank you for writing such a wonderful piece.

Fantastic article! Often the female form is sexualized in photography, even when the photographer’s aim is an artistic composition. The purity and creative staging of these photos demonstrates different ways in which we can view people and nude subject matter.

This show truly is a hidden gem that doesn’t get as much recognition as it deserves. But that maybe just my opinion. Apart from the humour associated with the characters interacting with one another, the distinct individuality of each character provides viewers with the chance to find a new favourite.

This movie is one of my all time favourites. I always loved how Chihiro became this strong and independent girl by the end of the film, and how her time at the bath house positively effected so many other characters. The hopeful theme associated with change is perhaps one of the most attractive features of this movie. Thank you for writing such an in-depth and thoughtful article.
