MR Totoro

And here's the second half of Studio Ghibli's classic 1988 diptych..

This one's a cult classic that transcended the limits of what anime movies could offer or animation in general for that matter.

MR Grave of the Fireflies

It's been a long time since I last reviewed a Studio Ghibli movie!

MR Laputa

After all this time, here's another Studio Ghibli movie review!
"Officially", their very first productions, though the same animation team had been formed during Nausicaa.

It's yet another Hayao Miyazaki production!

MR Nausicaä

This week, let's look into what is considered the first Studio Ghibli movie (though it isn't!)
If you want to check out my previous reviews, follow the Ghibli-Marathon tag or simply click over the above picture!

Considered by many, a classic of the Japanese animations - for both fans of anime or not. Let's review Miyazaki's big independent debut...

MR Gauche the Cellist

Time for one more anime movie from the pre-Studio Ghibli years!

This time, let's see a radically different genre of movie, once more from sensei Isao Takahata.

MR Jarinko Chie

...And here's one more entry for my Studio Ghibli Marathon reviews!

This time one of the lesser known movies, but an important one nonetheless!
Yet another movie directed by (then-future) Studio Ghibli's legendary Isao Takahata.

Did it disappear into obscurity due to its quality? Is it any good? And More importantly, what's it about?....

MR The Castle of Cagliostro

Let's start off this year with a whole new review!
This time I would like to offer you yet another entry in my long running Studio Ghibli Marathon.

This yet another "Ghibli-esque" movie from the pre-Studio Ghibli era. Taking you this time in the late 70s...

MR Panda! Go, Panda!

And here's another review for my "Studio Ghibli Marathon"!~

Some nerds would love to nitpick, and scream at their computer screen saying "this isn't a movie! it's an OVA/OAV!!" well, check out my tags, notice my "OVA" tag? Good. Okay, now calm down, sit, relax and enjoy....

MR Horus: Prince of the Sun

With this review, I'm gonna start what I've been wanting to do for quite some time now... what we will call the "Studio Ghibli Marathon"!
But instead of going through the usual Spirited Aways and other Totoros right from the start like everybody else, I wanna take a look at the more obscure Pre-Ghibli movies as well.

So without further ado, let's start from the very beginning...
