The “Grave of the Fireflies” director was one of the founders of the legendary Studio Ghibli.

An excellent opportunity to see some of the greatest and most beloved animated films of all time.

Also: The decline of Contemporary Christian Music, Google Chrome’s ad blocker, Harvard and online privacy, and conspiracy theories of the Left.

These hour-long mixes of Studio Ghibli music reveal a body of work that’s also deserving of recognition.

This marks the first time that “Ocean Waves” will get a theatrical run throughout North America.

The ending of Isao Takahata’s masterpiece leaves me choked up every time I watch it.

Now that Studio Ghibli seems to be in a twilight stage of its existence, I’m doubly interested in Mami Sunada’s documentary.

Also: The necessity of deceptive technology, ethical clicking, Reddit’s moral dilemma, Ghost in the Shell, and why Dungeons & Dragons still matters.

Hayao Miyazaki has created some of the most charming films of the last three decades. He’s earned his retirement.

The live action tokusatsu short film was made with traditional filmmaking techniques.

This may be my least favorite Studio Ghibli film to date.

Nausicaä Of The Valley Of The Wind is worth watching if only to give one a much better context in which to appreciate Miyazaki’s movies.

I was excited to watch Whisper of the Heart, but I found it far more rewarding and relevant than I thought possible.

To be honest, I don’t think I want to meet a person who could watch this film and not be moved by the plight of Seita and Setsuko.

I find it very easy to get caught up in Miyazaki’s films, mainly because his films often resemble how I remember seeing the world as a child.
