Rec'd on 🪴 Underrated ghibli movies + why you should watch?
Castle in the sky
I’m not sure if this one counts as underrated but it’s my favourite!
the music (esp the opening scenes), the dynamic between Pazu and Sheeta (Pazu is the sweetest ghibli hero imo), giant robots, ancient floating castles, the usual ghibli focus on nature, love, friendship, etc etc
oh and of course the old lady sky pirate and her band of idiot sons
another honourable mention has gotta be Nausicaä

my fav scene is pazu playing the trumpet for his doves <3 the music is so beautiful and the animation of the sun bursting from behind the cloud to illuminate the city in the valley is peak ghibli

SPECIFIC niche interest
i could be considered the ghibli version of a disney adult but without hoarding themed stuff. i go to gkids every year. ok-
this depends on how you define underrated..
the boy and the heron? so underrated. if you haven’t, watch it because it’s all the things a ghibli movie is: top tier animation, sobering themes, cozy/low stimulation scenes, character decisions that catch you off guard. they’re so good at telling a story.
whisper of the heart is the cutest little low stim comfort film about falling in love. it’s a warm hug like totoro (without the dying mother :/)
the cat returns is not low stim but it’s fun and cheeky in a way the others aren’t. it gives me princess bride vibes i can’t explain why.

Anne carson
autobiography of red is her most well known one, my favourite of hers though is h of h playbook
these are more verse novels than a traditional poetry collection, but all of her work is beautiful and often I find quite accessible
other authors I love are Mahmoud Darwish and Seamus Heaney
