I cried at the article when reading it, as a woman with autism. It made me feel very emotional maybe this movie would be fun to watch.

[@findmeinthefuture.]

Love the video! When I last rewatched Ponyo, I was really struck by how much better it was than even I remembered it. I feel like people dismiss it a bit despite the high regard Totoro and Kiki's are generally held in. All three are quite brilliant representations of how children see the world, from the magic and whimsy to the angst. Gotta love how Miyazaki never talks down to the children these films are aimed at. The mother in Ponyo is one of my favorite characters Miyazaki has written.

Streets saying you’re gonna review the patlabor 1/2 next

[@himmyturner101]

Movie is so ass and overrated. Worst Ghibli film next to EarthSea by far. Animation looks good but the story and plot is terrible. No likable characters and the only sensible adult is fujimoto. Shitshow

[@Grugged]

Woah man how are there no likeable characters? Ponyo? Lisa? Sosuke? Man I think this says more about you than the movie, you don't have to like it but don't cry about it and disregard it as filth. Def my favorite Ghibli movie bc Ponyo looks identical to my little sister and it makes me remember how quickly she's growing up and how little time I have left to witness it.
