Hi everyone,

Me and my husband are making a hand-drawn game inspired by the art and world of Ghibli and I wanted to share the progress with some fellow fans to hear what you think.

The ultimate goal would be to capture that wonderful, weird, melancholy and sense of magic you feel when watching Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle and Totoro.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated :)

Sen (Chihiro) helps the Great River God by removing all the old bicycles and other trash from him, so she's obviously a bit of an environmentalist. Then she tells Haku that the River Kohaku is now paved over. So in a sequel Chihiro could be a grown up environmental activist, which ticks a Ghibli box, trying to save the River Kohaku and bring it back to life. Of course she would have no conscious memories of Haku, just a deep belief that she must save the river. I'm sure Ghibli can work in some romance with some part of Haku taking human form when the river is saved and he is freed. Or maybe Chihiro takes a lifetime to save the River Kohaku and only as an old lady is she finished and then she goes into the water to drift away and be with Kohaku at last, becoming a river kami herself (ticks a Shinto box).

I absolutely love the strings and the ambient on this song and please help me find it it starts when Chihiro and Haku go past the bridge and hide in the bathhouse in the beginning of the movie.

Getting existential on a Friday morning.

Eu amo a Studio Ghibli, em um nível inimaginável 🥰

Mas estou muito triste, que fizeram uma redublagem da maioria dos filmes, e na minha opinião, ficou uma merda, e não acho em lugar nenhum com a dublagem antiga.

Hiii, I just watched the movie today for the first time. Found the concept and movie too interesting, however some things left me pondering, one of them being why despite hating humans, the spirits didn't create a ruckus when Chihiro was running around em before obtaining work. I mean Haku explicitly tells her that the spirits shouldn't recognize her as a human, and that if she breaths on the bridge, they will. But what about after crossing it? I mean she does breath later, why don't they recognize her later on? Also she clearly roams around the spirits in few scenes prior to obtaining work, why doesn't any spirit do anything? There is always a commotion going on about a human intruder off screen, but whenever she is around em, no one says anything. Lin recognizes her being a human in their very first meeting, so wouldn't that means other spirits did too when they saw her?

I have attached some images for reference.

Also why is the breathing thing exclusive to the bridge and not thereafter?

I really enjoyed this.

I’d been wanting to do something like this for a while! Definitely an experiment, I have some things to improve on, but I hope you like them! ✨

Hello!

I recreated the iconic train scene from Spirited Away entirely from scratch. Studio Ghibli has always been a huge inspiration to me, and I wanted to bring to life the peaceful, dreamlike moment of Chihiro's journey across the flooded landscape.

The diorama features real LED lighting inside the train, giving the scene a warm glow and making it feel even more alive.

The entire piece was handmade from start to finish, with no 3D printing involved. Every detail was sculpted, assembled, and painted by hand.

I also recorded a tutorial showing the entire creation process in a relaxing, almost ASMR style. I'll leave the link in the comments for anyone who's interested.

If you'd like to know more about my work or have any questions about how I built it, feel free to ask. I hope you like it!

rest in peace daveigh chase 🤍
