Mine is when I saw my first Ghibli film, in autumn 2001. I was visiting an alternative film festival, Love and anarchy, for the first time and without knowing anything about it picked out a japanese animated movie. The only anime I'd seen up to this point was Pokemon. As I said, I didn't know anything about the movie I was going to see, so I had no expectations. I just thought that it might be interesting. The movie started and...it was magic. I hadn't seen anything like that before. It was like I forgot where I was and had gone into a different world. Miyazaki wrote in his biography how he fell in love with the heroine of an anime as a young boy. That evening, I fell in love with an animated heroine too, and her whole world. The girl's name was San, or Princess Mononoke. 12 years on, I'm still in awe every time I see a Miyazaki movie. And my love for a certain wild free forest child has only grown stronger. |

The best that I can come up with was seeing "Spirited Away' on TV two or three times and then seeing some other Ghibli's like "Kiki..." and realizing that, 'Hey! These are great! And made by the same studio!!!'
