Hey everyone , i just joined yesterday and i'm already addicted! I live in Canada .. in a boring little city with not much to do... I'm a 16 year old student that's very into studio ghibli & anime! I've been watching Studio Ghibli movies since i was 3 and now have my own little collection of 19 movies , some which are pre-ghibli. I have to say my favorite is My Neighbor Totoro just because it makes me feel like I'm 5 years old again, i get so giddy everytime i watch it! So yeah ... that's me! i would love to make my collection a lot biggger , does anyone have any input on movies, what i should add to my collection or not add!? thanks for reaaaading.

husky51 : thank you. and sorry about not making it clear. i have : my neighbor totoro , porco rosso, only yesterday, ponyo, grave of the fireflies, spirited away, pom poko, kiki's delivery service, castle in the sky, howls moving castle, whisper of the heart, princess mononoke, the cat returns & a documentary called 'A Ghibli Artisan - Kazuo Oga Exhibition - The Man Who Painted Totoro's Forest' and for pre-ghibli i have the little norse prince, the castle of cagliostro, gauche the cellist and nausicaä of the valley of the wind. for the other anime movies, i dont know if you heard of '5 centimeters per second: a chain of short stories about their distance' it's by a director by the name of Makoto Shinkai. I love that movie. so any anime movies like those would be great. i haven't opened my eyes to too many anime movies outside of studio ghibli and i know i should. 
jusomekid : thanks for the welcome! I really appreciate it. Do your homework! haha! i've been doing homework every since i got home from school but every time i get to take a break i check out the forums!

husky51 : thank you , i checked some of the shows out on youtube and i really like them and on top of that tomorrow is pay day so i get to buy some new anime to add to my collection! i like his and her circumstances , i heard of it before because totoro had a cameo in one of the episodes! i also liked toradora! by the way have you heard of the movie: brave story? i think it was directed by Kôichi Chigira who i heard is Miyazaki's assistant but i'm not 100% sure on that.

welcome, i've not been here long myself but I would suggest you read any CLAMP stuff and Ranama 1/2 if you haven't already. its a classic.
I recommend you read Chobits before you watch the anime, I guarantee you will not put it down. Angelic Layer as mentioned before is really good too but not long enough, think there are only 4 or 5 books.
Its an expensive hobby is manga heh

husky 51 : thanks for the info. my dvd player is not playing too many of my dvds, i mean it does play but it skips a lot and when i watch it on my brothers it works perfectly. so i need a new one! oh and i couldn't find anything at best buy or future shop. they barely have any anime! where would be a good place to buy them?
Yay! Kiki : thank you!!!
saisai : thanks you for the suggestions , i've written them all down but i can't find too many stores where i can buy them here in british columbia. i think i'll have to buy them online. where do you get yours?
fenkashi thank you & i'm already loving it

Ohhh & @ husky51 : i saw in another forum (maybe i shouldnt be talking about this here , but i'm already here and lazy) that you had a totoro and kodama tattoo! i'm turning 17 soon and i know it's not legal and really stupid to get a tattoo so young but ive talked to my parents already and they finally gave in. so i want to get my first on my birthday and i was wondering if a totoro tattoo is worth it. i want chibi totoro behind my ear and i know i wont regret it. i've loved my neighbor totoro all my life and if anyone walked into my room they would know that, HAHA! do you think it's worth it? especially at my age.

you can get them at a store called 'page 45', also Blackwells sometime have specific stores. Of course there are anime cosplay events like The Excel in London that sell all sorts, there must be a couple in Canada but if all else fails... ebay!

husky 51 : i don't think i would get it on my leg just because my legs are so small! it would probably hurt because there's barely any muscle there! ahah. yeah i think a tattoo should have meaning and the reason for behind the ear is because no one can see it there unless i want to show them. But i see why you would do it with your sons , that has meaning to it. i really don't want to get it and regret it so i think i'll wait, especially because everyone is telling me it's a bad idea. thanks for the input husky!!
kemi : thank you!
saisai : alright thanks so much and for ebay, you need a paypal or credit card right? and do you know if amazon is the same?

First of all, welcome and nice to meet 'ya!
I'm seventeen (well, in a few days) and I know a lot of people thinking of getting or have tattoos. Those who had it done professionally seem pretty happy with the decision though those who didn't get it done at a good tattoo parlour really regret it. It might be worth waiting until you're older and can save up the money to afford to go to a really good place
Coincidentally, I don't intend to get any tattoos with the exception of the trio of walking Totoros along the base of my spine. That or Teto from Nausicaa on my shoulder/hip. It will definitely be Ghibli related though. I genuinely see those films as something which has shaped my life in a big way, and for that reason I'd want one - not the cuteness factor (that's just a bonus). I'm going to wait till i'm older though, with more experience so I'm 100% sure it's what I want.

Just realised I hadn't welcomed you already. So hello! I hope you have fun here.
On the tattoo note, I also wouldn't recommend behind the ear, because it's a place where it would be easy for it to accidentally show. And obviously it's up to you if you feel that you've considered it properly and know it's what you want, but if not, then you should definitely wait until you're more sure about it.

Husky 51 : that's true. out of all the movies, my neighbor totoro has made the biggest impact on my life. i mean he's everywhere. i have the theme song for my ringtone i have him on my wallpaper.. i have so many stuffed animals and keychains, i'm so obsessed. my friends think i'm crazy. yeah i think i'll wait until i'm for sure about everything 100%, like where to get it. yeah, that's kind of the thing in b.c now... everyone around me is getting inked and i think i got jelouse.. maybe that's not the best reason to get a tattoo !
Nausicaa_Cat : thank you & it's nice to meet you too! that's so true , all the good places charge up to 80$ an hour which can add up to a lot! but it's worth it when you have the money. that's such a good idea but i heard that the spine hurts a lot!!! & Teto is so cute , on the shoulder, that would be awesome! yeah i think it's best we wait , we're so young and we have a lot of time to think about it.
arren18 : thanks so much! yeah it would be a problem for me because whenever i'm looking down at work or a book i'll put my hair behind my ear so i would definetly show it by accident. haha i'm obviously unsure about it when i have to ask in a forum, it's just a thing you have to think about for a long time and i still feel so unsure , hmmmmmm.. thanks though!
