I've never seen a Ghibli film. All I knew of them was they were renowned creators of anime movies.

So I started with My Neighbor Totoro. I had seen the character before. Cute movie. Not super deep but I enjoyed it. Next I wanted to see something a little more emotionally deep, so I looked up a list of their movies rated as such (without reading the description) and chose this next.

Jesus fuck that shit hits like a pallet of bricks. I just curled up on the couch and cried a bit after. That's rare/never for me.
