The Ghibli film that has most felt like Howl’s to me since Howl’s. A five star film.

My favorite work from Hayao Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli, as well as one of the first anime I watched when I was a kid and didn't even know what anime was (the first was Pokemon lol). The nostalgia is real but I connect with this film so much more in my late twenties.
When I think of Howl's Moving Castle, I think of love and just how life-changing it can be when you meet someone new who ends up being someone important and special. When people are positive influences on each other and they are for the better from having met and maintaining those bonds. Quite frankly, I live for this shit. This is ofc most evident between the two leads Howl and Sophie, but it's not exclusive to them.
I also think of just how goddamn beautiful and magical this movie is to watch, but that's pretty par for the course when it comes to Miyazaki/Ghibli :)

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

I am by no means traditionally religious, but I fully understand how being in the presence of beautiful stained glass can feel like being with god. ALWAYS stop off at a church on the way if you think it might have good stained glass. The bluebells in the bottom right corner of this made me loose my breath for a moment.
