Is it Shizuku, from Whisper of the Heart?

Yes it is! Your turn

Hi, Husky! I'm doing well, how about you?

My quote:
"I'd rather you were a good eater than a good essay writer."

Why! Why, that describes me!!! lol...
Been going thru some illnesses, but getting better...

On the last one, I almost immediately thought of Shizuku standing on the balcony below Grandfather's shop...

Now I've gotta think on this one...

Nope. That's not it.

First clue: leftover bread

Posted by husky51 on 03.04.2018, 03:19 AM:

OK, my guess is "Kiki's Delivery Service" where Kiki, while sick in bed, motions to Jiji to eat the leftover bread in the bowl on the table...

I watched the whole movie, but was not able to find who the character is, yet, though...

Which means one of two things... Either I missed the line in the movie OR I have the wrong movie...

OK, belborges must have gotten tied up with RL, so I kept looking and I think that I found the movie and the speaker.

The quote in question was:

"I'd rather you were a good eater than a good essay writer."

The Movie: "Only Yesterday"

What I found were the words:

"The kid who can eat her food is more respected than the one who can write an essay."

The speaker was Taeko's mother, chiding her about the radish slices that she brought home from school wrapped up in a slice of bread (see the clue).

Now, like in other cases, different DVD's may have slightly differently worded 'subtitles'.

I believe that this is the movie and the character...

I'm sorry for the late response. You're correct, Husky!

Posted by husky51 on 03.12.2018, 01:23 PM:

Not a problem, bel... Like I said somewhere, I figured that you were caught up in RL and busy with Life...

Thank you...

New quote:

"Despite the taste, I could eat a boot full"

Have fun all...

I can't figure this one out.

Is it from Ocean Waves? From Up On Poppy Hill maybe? I've only seen them once (EDIT: actually twice), so I have forgotten many lines.

Posted by husky51 on 03.14.2018, 12:38 AM:

Sorry, no... for either of those choices...

first clue:

The sands of time

good luck...

OH! Is it Nausicaa? I think it's either Nausicaa or Asbel.

Posted by husky51 on 03.14.2018, 05:53 AM:

I was afraid that clue would give it away to easily. And yes, it's Asbel, when he and Nausicaa have fallen through the forest layer and are sitting and talking...

Your turn...

Fireball Groku in "Pom Poko"?

Posted by belborges on 03.18.2018, 02:23 PM:

You're correct! It's Fireball Oroku from Pom Poko, right after she interrupts the battle between the tanuki at the beginning of the movie.

Posted by husky51 on 03.18.2018, 08:57 PM:

Bel, I have to let you try again. it's still your turn... so you find another one ..

Remember that I said I thought that it was familiar?

Go to page 4 of this topic, and scroll down to the #7 post and follow it... lol...
