    So I finally got this video to not be copyrighted! This is the best I can do right now so if it does change its mind and gets blocked later then that'll be the end of it. So enjoy it while u can 🙂 happy new year y'all
    edit: also i know im known for mispronouncing words so I apologize if i did it again in this video lmao i tried my best to pronounce things correctly but my brain gets jumbled and I speak without thinking!

    I remember Ponyo as a vague recollection from when I was a very small child. I never remembered the name, only the fish girl with chicken legs.

    WHEN I SAY THAT THE MOMENT I SAW THIS VIDEO IN MY RECOMMENDED I SCREAMED OF PURE JOY, I AM NOT KIDDING.
    Initial reaction aside, I'm so happy you talked about this movie, it was one of my first Ghibi movies, and is probably my favorite movie ever ever since I was 5. Just the whole movie just feels like it captures childlike sense of wonder, elevated by the wondrous art of the sea and it's creatures that makes me feel like it wraps me up in a blanket of just comfort. I also feel like this movie actually encapsulates what an energetic child is with Ponyo because I was even called that as a nicknamed because we both were energetic and ham loving children lol.
    I don't really care if people say that there's better movies out there than this one, because this movie is so amazing in how it intertwined the magic and the beauty of just everyday life that everything just feels so natural and that it's always been there, and I can only imagine that the beautiful simplicity of it all is what Ponyo fell in love with. This is one of the only movies where I still experience the feelings I felt since my first viewing, and just you talking about it made me very happy that someone else is talking about how comforting this movie is, nice work :D
    A little unrelated- but tbh I still get just as excited as Ponyo in the ramen scene, she just like me fr lol

    Ponyo is arguably in my opinion very nostalgic to me as this was the first Ghibli film I watched as a kid. This, along with the original Lion King are the reasons I draw and why I wanna be an aspiring animator. It was the first animated film that gave me comfort and made me feel warm and happy everytime I watched it. Something Netflix's Klaus (2019) would do years later.

    I've watching a lot of Ghibli during my winter break and I appreciated for what the studio has done from the past year. Unlike an animation studio like Disney where their films are surreal in fantasy, Ghibli movies while having that fantasy element still very grounded. Everytime you watch a movie from them, you can feel the atmosphere like the bathhouse in Spirited away or the wind blowing in Kiki Delivery service. Studio Ghibli are masters at atmosphere in storytelling.
