    Directed by Isao Takahata

    On the surface, you might not expect Pom Poko to be a particularly sad Studio Ghibli movie, because it’s about shape-shifting raccoons waging war on the human race due to how the latter decimates the land the former lives on. It gets pretty strange and goofy at times, but it also unpacks environmental themes seriously, and doesn’t shy away from highlighting the environmental d…

    On the surface, you might not expect Pom Poko to be a particularly sad Studio Ghibli movie, because it’s about shape-shifting raccoons waging war on the human race due to how the latter decimates the land the former lives on. It gets pretty strange and goofy at times, but it also unpacks environmental themes seriously, and doesn’t shy away from highlighting the environmental devastation the main characters deal with. At two hours long, and with some strangely paced moments, it’s not the most...

    Directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi

    When Marnie Was There begins a little like The Secret World of Arrietty, with an unwell young character going to live in a new place and meeting someone unexpected, kicking off something of a fantastical adventure.

    Suzume was an immensely successful anime film from 2022, and deservedly so, clearly having a massive amount of appeal owing to its striking visuals, moving thematic content unpacking grief and loss, and entertaining narrative. Said narrative involves a teenage girl getting involved in saving Japan from a large worm that causes earthquakes. Also, her would-be companion is turned into a chair that can walk, staying that way for most of the movie. It has some unusual elements and can be funny an...

    An excellent fantasy movie by Hayao Miyazaki, Kiki’s Delivery Servicemight not get quite as much love as other films by the legendary Japanese filmmaker, but it’s still worthy of its classic status. It’s about a young woman dealing with life on her own for the first time… and she’s also a witch, which makes her stand out and adds further to the feelings of isolation she has. Kiki’s Delivery Service, despite its fantastical elements, also works as a surprisingly grounded narrative about coming...
