Day 3 of Ghibli feast Ghibli feast #8: The Castle of Cagliostro This is the last feast in Ghibli feast! When I decided to do a Ghibli feast, I knew that I wanted to watch this film last. This film isn’t by Studio Ghibli, but the Castle of Cagliostro is the first theatrical film Hayao Miyazaki directed in 1979. I used to watch Lupin the [...]

I’m not going into details of this film since I’m not good at summarizing… so let’s just get to the feast. I’m sure the people who [...]

Day 2 of Ghibli feast Ghibli feast #6: Nausicaa The last feast for the day 2 of the Ghibli feast was Nausicaa. Nausicaa is probably my most favorite of all Miyazaki films. I think it’s because I saw it when I was young, and it had a huge impact on me. I’ve seen this film the most number of times too. I remember almost every [...]

Day 2 of Ghibli feast Ghibli feast #5: My Neighbor Totoro What food can you think of from the film My Neighbor Totoro? The vegetables they chilled in the river look great, don’t they? But unfortunately, I HATE cucumber. There are two foods I don’t like and will not eat. Cucumber and cilantro. I don’t just HATE them I DESPISE them. It’s not like I’ve [...]

After our “Ghibli feast #1: Porco Rosso,” we moved onto a more serious if not the most serious Ghibli film, Princess Mononoke. Day 1 of Ghibli feast (Saturday night) Ghibli feast #2: Princess Mononoke Our second Ghibli feast was Princess Mononoke. Princess Mononoke is very different from any other Miyazaki film. Some scenes are very graphic and violent.  The main characters, San and Ashitaka, aren’t [...]

I think food in anime and manga has a big influence on [...]
