Best Studio Ghibli Recommendations
These are the Studio Ghibli films I’ve watched so far (an exploration that’s still ongoing). I never thought I would like them this much, I used to avoid watching Ghibli because I thought it was overrated. But once I started, I slowly changed my mind, and now these are the films I’d recommend, along with my personal ratings!

So if you haven’t yet started your studio ghibli marathon, you probably should with the help of my recommendation ! Trust me, you’ll like it.
Selain filem yang sudah saya tonton, saya terbaca banyak info menarik tentang cara Studio Ghibli menghasilkan karya mereka dengan penuh kreativiti dan ketelitian. Contohnya, Hayao Miyazaki, pengarah terkenal Ghibli, banyak menekankan elemen alam dan kemanusiaan dalam setiap filem. Ini menjadikan setiap cerita bukan sekadar rekaan, tapi juga penceritaan yang mendalam. Saya juga suka melihat bagaimana setiap watak dalam filem Ghibli sangat unik dan mudah diingati, dari Totoro yang ikonik sehinggalah Ponyo yang penuh warna-warni. Dalam pencarian saya, saya dapati ramai penggemar menggemari filem seperti Howl’s Moving Castle bukan hanya kerana visualnya yang cantik, malah kerana kisah cinta dan pengembaraan yang penuh makna. Bagi yang suka melukis, konsep drawing Ghibli sangat inspiratif. Rekabentuk watak yang jelas dan penuh ekspresi membantu anda belajar melukis gaya anime yang mudah dikenali. Kalau anda minat dengan budaya Jepun atau mahu tahu lebih tentang sejarah dan rekod pembuatan studio ini, banyak artikel dan dokumentari yang boleh dijadikan rujukan. Kalau nak mulakan maraton filem Ghibli, cuba tengok dulu filem yang saya sarankan, dan jangan lupa perhatikan latar belakang penuh warna-warni dan magis. Setiap filem menawarkan pengalaman mengembara melalui cerita yang menggugah emosi dan mengilhamkan imaginasi anda.
