Recognize the person above? Hayao Miyasaki, one of the best J animated filmmakers and my favorite. The above fanart includes many well known characters from his animated films like Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, and many more.
If you don’t know him then your life is not complete and you should go watch any of his films. It’s amazing how he can capture the attention of kids and adults with his messages about childhood dreams, environmentalism, and anti-war criticism.
I haven’t watched his latest film yet, Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea, and I have great expectations. My favorite movie is tied between Mononoke Hime and Nausicaa. Which one’s your favorite? ^^

Yeah, can’t wait, should be awesome, as all of his movies were :D

Kiki and Howl’s moving castle are my favourite ^^
I’ve been watching them so many times.
Princess Mononoke and Kiki’s delivery service are the only ones ive seen till the very end and watched mulitiple times so ill go with those. :)
I really, really have good memories from Spirited Away. It was one of the first films I came across by Miyazaki, and I found it in Japanese and had to find the english subtitles because my local video store did not have it, and I didn’t want to order it. Such a great movie…
I’m also having dificulty choosing between Nausicaa and Mononoke-hime.
