Recently, the editorial department of Magmix published an article titled “The most popular Studio Ghibli works, the three that won out in a fierce battle” based on the results of
The results of the ranking of the meatball spaghetti that you will want to watch after watching “The Castle of Cagliostro” were “Spirited Away” in first place, “Castle in the Sky” in second place, and “Kiki’s Delivery Service” in third place. In the article’s comments section, an interesting opinion was that “the rankings would probably change if we narrowed it down to works by director Hayao Miyazaki .”
How would the rankings change if we narrowed it down to Miyazaki’s works? This article will examine three of Miyazaki’s films that have received comments such as, “They’re not Ghibli films, but…”
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind First, there is Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, which was the catalyst for Studio Ghibli’s founding.
Although it is included on the Studio Ghibli official website and in the lineup of the DVD Ghibli Collection, Nausicaä was produced by Topcraft, Studio Ghibli’s predecessor. Although released in 1984, it has been so widely loved that it is broadcast on Friday Road Show every two or three years.
The story is set in a desolate future world, but the dream-filled adventure that tickles the childlike heart resonates with people of all ages. Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro Next is Miyazaki’s first movie as a director.
This is the second movie in the Lupin III series, and although it was not well-received when it was released in theaters, its popularity has gradually grown through TV broadcasts and other means. It’s a very romantic story about a man who steals not for gold and silver treasures but to protect a young girl named Clarice.
There are also many memorable lines, including Inspector Zenigata’s “He stole something very terrible. Your heart,” which is so famous that even people in their twenties who weren’t even born when the movie was released have heard it at least once.
Future Boy Conan TV anime Finally, there is the TV anime “Future Boy Conan,” which was broadcast in 1978 and marked Director Miyazaki’s directorial debut. Set in a devastated world after the final war, a boy named Conan, born and raised on the “Remaining Island,” meets a young girl named Lana, who is washed up on the beach.
The story follows Conan’s journey from the island to save Lana from the organization pursuing her, the science city Industria, and find his companions. Although it was broadcast about 50 years ago, it still boasts enduring popularity, with a stage play of “Future Boy Conan” starring Seishiro Kato as Conan being performed in 2024.
The film’s theme is grand, with “earthquakes” and “environmental changes,” but the skillful way it is portrayed in the lives of two boys and girls and the pure hearts of the two boys and girls who overcome the threat of weapons is profoundly moving.
