They're very very very pretty, they're aesthetically rich and detailed and have a distinctive and classical aesthetic style, the best ones are also thematically rich, and they have classic, well-worn narratives and characters that have a broad appeal to wide audiences. It's not hard to figure out what makes people love them. People love classics and Ghibli movies are modern classics. And there's a wide variety of different variations on the style so everyone can find a Ghibli movie that appeals to them.

For whatever reason, a lot of kids who "didn't watch anime" growing up still watched these movies. So they loved what they saw as unique.

Probably going to get shot for this but I liked Spirited Away except for the main kid whom I thought was super obnoxious. All she seemed to do was scream, fall down and hold her arms up like Cornholio.

my brother in christ, I don't think you know the meaning of this word. Ghibli movies have the reputation *because* they have a very unique style/stories. also, implying Princess Mononoke is about a "young girl on a fantasy adventure" lmao smh, this is just sad, I see why this is a secret

[(Anonymous)]

Boring aesthetics and boring stories. They just appeal to the broadest audience. I only like Howl's Moving Castle and it's an adaptation of a better book so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[(Anonymous)]

They're really good at doing people.

Also, I think when they started up a lot of anime was shouty shonen action stories, which isn't to everyone's taste, and they dug in with a brand of storytelling where quiet scenes and visually rich landscapes weren't just allowed but expected. Many of them, like Princess Mononoke, have characters where there's not a clear right and wrong, and some audiences like subtlety.

And they're strong in female characters (as real people, not just romance-objects) and that, also, could be hard to find. It's still hard to find, sometimes.

So... they established a brand as, 'you can find what you're looking for here'.

Kiki's Delivery Service and My Neighbor Totoro were basically my childhood. I'm not saying they're perfect but they're perfect in the way they hold nostalgia and being comforting while still entertaining me even now.

I sorta agree with you. The ones I liked the most were Princess Mononoke and Spirit Away. The others? Boring as fuck and didn't made me feel magical or something. I didn't even cry with the grave of the fireflies (ow-the-edge.jpg).

Eh its not for everyone.

I like it because I'm interested in animation overall and its just a big piece of Japanese animation regardless - that and when I first watched it I was a 2000s weeb teen getting into anime and Ghibli movies were being shown at the cinema between the ones that would come out after Spirited Away and the re-releases for the older works... so yeah for the latter it was mostly timing lol.

I bloody love that movie. I wouldn't call it a "comfort watch" - some parts, quite the opposite!! - but even though it'll never be as good as the first time I saw it, I have watched it numerous times. Page and Wilson are both amazing in it.

Personally I feel like being pretentious and exclusionary used to be seen as way more normal and often even expected than it currently is, especially through the 00's.

The fact that Sailor Moon is in the background of a secret about a Shonen is unreasonably cracking me up. I assume this was a comment secret; if not (of if this was intentional), A++ image choice.

On topic, I'm not even sure what even counts as shonen unless it's published in Shonen Jump, ngl. The one series I follow that I know is shonen I have followed for almost 20 years though and it's my favourite piece of media of all time, so saying I'm hooked for life sounds absolutely right.

I'm nostalgic for the original Clerks too, but I usually deal with that by rewatching the original Clerks.
