Thanks

Yep, from hearing it pronounced on some DVDs (can't remember which ones though), it's definitely with a "j".
Up until that point, I was mistakenly pronouncing it with a "g", like "giblet" or "give".

"Ghibli" seems to be Italian. it seems to be pronounced "g" in Italy.
in Japan, we pronounce it "j". but "Ghiblies" (2000/2002) is "g".

well, once I read that Miyazaki-sensei him self sais that GHIBLI supposed to be pronounced as GHIBLI with a G.
I think it's just the Japanesse who can't say G like in gesture. they would rather say J than to a G.

It's pronounced with a 'J' because the spelling for Studio ghibli actually reads "Sutajio Jiburi" (note the J there).
Never did find out why it was spelled as 'JI" instead of "GI" for the Ghibli word in the first place.
