17:03 Indeed, flying a plane is expensive. There was a saying back then: "You can make a small fortune in aviation, you just need to start with a big fortune."
This may not have been the fist Ghibli film I saw, but it's easily my favorite by a wide margin. Despite it not being nearly as fantastical as others, there's something magical about it that just fills me with this strange nostalgia.
I heard this movie was really appreciated in Italy as a one they watch once a year to remember why you have to resist facist. "Better a pig than a facist."
Unfortunately here in Italy a lot of people Don't know This movie, They only post This quote on April 25 ( the day we celebrate the liberation from the nazi-fascist occupation) Without even knowing where It comes from.
Porco Rosso really is one of those movies where you completely lose yourself in the story. You're having so much fun with the characters and the gags and the comedy that by the time the sea-place race and knock-out drag out fight happens, you lose any sense of time. I've watched this movie so many times and I almost always get blindsided by how quickly the 3rd act finale arrives because I'm just having the most fun watching Porco and the rest of the characters.
I love porco rosso and firmly believe at no point ever was marco literally a pig man, its entirely a visual metaphor for the audience and a reflection of how marco sees himself. After his disillusionment in the war and failings in his own life he lived as a pig of a man even crossing out his own face in ginas picture of him. But with fio's help and his love for gina, he was finally able to overcome his self-hatred and become a good man again.
I like that and saw it similiarly for many years, but then again, some scenes where people are suprised by him, "show your face" and many other comments in the movie wouldnt make sense. It being some fantasy thing doesnt ruin the methaphor that is still there despite it being also literal or not.
It's made pretty clear people see him as a pig in the movie as well, not just the audience. Otherwise, lines like "the last picture of you as a human" or "Show me your face!" wouldn't really make sense.
I agree with most of your views. However, I think one of the reasons is that he did not want to love Gina. Deep down he loved her. But to her husbands who lost their lives, his best friends, he felt sorry for them. And he feared that if he died, he would cause her grief again, like her husbands. So he became a pig so that she would not love him and he would not love her.
Basically, Porco has Survivor's guilt, and probably PTSD. he turned into a pig because he doesn't think he deserves to live, and that he's selfish for not dying in the war, when we clearly see how selfless he is, trying to take his friend's place in the hallucination of heaven he saw during the battle.
If there's anyone who really wants to know if Porco eventually went to meet Gina or not, check the last monologue scene by Fio where her jet is passing by GIna's island (in this movie around 44:06, unfortunately slightly been cut). Zoom and observe the pier right side of the island.
In the original japanese instead of ' cute girl, when did you start babysitting?' the line is: 'there's pearls before a swine'. Also when Gina talks to Porco on the phone when she thought he had died she doesn't say: 'I don't want to go to another pilots funeral' - she says: 'One of these days you're going to be roast pork! I don't want that!'. In the dub they missed a couple of crucial comic lines which added to the film...bilingual here.
17:28 Funny you mentioned Lofi Girl here, because the next Ghibli movie after Porco rosso, Whisper of the Heart, is THE actual inspiration for Lofi girl
A scene from Porco Rosso was obviously taken from the short story ‘They Shall Not Grow Old’ by Roald Dahl, who was a WWII fighter pilot. It's a beautiful story and well worth a read.
Woo! If you're a Ghibli fan, this isn't one you're likely to overlook or underrate, but for people who haven't seen much of Ghibli or anime, in general, this is a true gem.
Glad that you picked up this movie, for some reason lot react people avoid this movie. I think it's brilliant movie " better pig than a fascist “ one of my favorite quote. Love the reaction as always.
I've watched this movie in Japanese more times than I can count. Seeing parts of the English dub was fun, and it's always a treat to see new people watch "Porco Rosso" for the first time, and to appreciate the magic and wonder of it as much as you guys did. As you noted, Miyazaki's love of flying really shines through in this film, as well as his fascination with airplanes and his flair for the fantastical and unexplained. He loved Europe as well, and the attention to detail in the backgrounds and in the animation just adds to all the beauty here. Of course, the story is just so much fun, and that's why I never get tired of "Porco Rosso". Seeing that most of the humour and dialog was kept intact is encouraging -- it means that even when listening to it in English, folks will hopefully enjoy the movie for the same reasons I do. I noticed that one joke was changed, though. When Ferrari flies by Marco and Fio with the hand-signal messages, in the Japanese version his second one is actually meant for Fio, and Marco passes it on to her. The message: "Don't cast your pearls before swine." 😁 Keep 'em coming, guys!
The first time I watched Porco Rosso I wasn't wowed by it like I'd been with other studio Ghibli films. I think it's a bit sneaky-good like that. I've watched it a few times since, and every time its grown on me more and more. I imagine that has a lot to do with my own maturation; any film that can grow with you like that must be something special. If you're looking for another Studio Ghibli film to do next.. perhaps Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind? It's definitely must watch Ghibli and comes with another stellar English speaking cast (which I won't spoil for you lol). Anyway, I'm really enjoying this reaction series and hope there's more to come!
Actually I’ve been waited that you guys react to the Porco Rosso!! I really love this movie. And I think this movie is also for grown up guys,not only for children.
I’ve been trying to decide for years if it would be possible to capture even half the magic of ghibli in live action. They’re all so carefully crafted that I don’t know how you’d be able to replicate it even with a shot for shot remake. It would have to be a labor of love
宮崎駿の祖父は宮崎航空工業という会社の創業者で、当時東洋最大の航空機メーカー中島飛行機の下請けをしていました。また父親の宮崎勝次氏は航空エンジニアでしたので、宮崎駿の飛行機好きはDNAに刻まれたものです✨😌 またジブリの由来は宮崎駿が1番好きなイタリアの飛行機の名前でイタリア語で「熱風」という意味です。 Miyazaki Hayao's grandfather was the founder of a company called Miyazaki Aviation Industry, which was a subcontractor for Nakajima Aircraft, the largest aircraft manufacturer in the Orient at the time. His father, Miyazaki Katsuji, was an aeronautical engineer, so Miyazaki Hayao's love of airplanes is in his DNA. ✨😌 The origin of Ghibli comes from the name of Miyazaki Hayao's favorite Italian airplane, which means "hot air" in Italian.
this is the best ghibli movie i loved. Some people would rather become pigs than go against their inner kindness and join in all the filth in the world. And those who love him can see his truthfulness and kindness beneath his pig-like appearance. You know, you will lose something in pursuing any success, especially in this capital world where money is paramount. This is probably Hayao Miyazaki's praise for most ordinary and kind-hearted middle-aged men.
Grave of the Fireflies isn’t even the most gut-wrenching anime about WW2. Barefoot Gen (1983) specifically highlights the author’s real experiences as a survivor of the Hiroshima bombing. There’s nothing else quite like it, even GOTFF
From the past conversations, I get the impression Hector and Agustin have seen some Ghibli films while Adam hadn't (or maybe just a few?), but I'm so glad you guys are watching these. Some of the best films around, imo, not just animation.
In the cloud plain scene, the propellers of Porco's flying boat are turning, but the propellers of the other flying boats are stopped. This indicates that Porco is still alive and the pilots of the other airships are dead.
I always called it studio 'gibli' in polish fonetically, it seemed natural. Then, we went to Tokyo for first time few months ago and when speaking with japanese people, they didnt understand what we were talking about until we switched to 'jibli' movies xD
The Lo-fi girl is a Ghibli girl, just not this Ghibli girl. Also, I expect you're going to get a real kick out of learning what song she's listening to.
the easy going attitude on air combat is a reference to world war 1. Back then pilots were known as knights of the sky and acting all chivalrous. Something that was lost in the late 30 when combat aircrafts were mass produced. Though traces remained into WW2
oh, this is a curious change... in the english dub he's Marco Rossellini? Interesting choice, I wonder why... you see in the original he was Marco Pagot. The surname was a homage to Marco Pagot, italian animator and comic-writer who was son of one of the Pagot brothers (Nino and Toni) who were famous pioneers of the comics and animation in Italy. Years earlier their studio had made a italian-japanese coproduction, the animated series Sherlock Hound (yep, a canine version of Baker Street famous detective xD). They had befriended Miyazaki, so when Marco heard he would have made a movie set in the Mediterranean sea, and in some zones of Italy, he sent him books with more info and visual references Oh also there is a italian dub (we dub 99,9% of everything here xD) and it's very good! Although I've gotta say, the english dub is really really enjoyable too!
I might have an explanation for this version of a pilot's afterlife. There was a song by Hans Albers from 1932 (th-cam.com/video/bjjE15ClLgw/w-d-xo.html). Here is the English translation of the lyrics: The Song of the Airmen From the North Pole to the South Pole Is just as far as a cat can jump We conduct the flight In any kind of weather. We don't hesitate, we get started! Whatever may happen, The song of the airmen Will sound through wind and weather: Airman, give my regards to the sun, And to the stars, And to the moon. Your life means being airborne And flying long distances Crossing vast areas, where nobody lives. The propeller races faster and faster Just the way you love it! For pilots, there is nothing off-limits So put it at full throttle And fly around the world! Pick up the nicest one of the falling stars And take it home as a gift for your girl! [Choir]: Airman, give my regards to the sun, And to the stars, And to the moon. Airman, give my regards to the sun, And to the stars, And to the moon. Your life means being airborne And flying long distances Crossing vast areas, where nobody lives. The propeller races faster and faster Just the way you love it!

[Choir]: Airman, give my regards to the sun, And to the stars, And to the moon.
This film hits hard on so many points and it's sad how some people think it's one of the weakest in the Ghibli catalog. Sure, some things don't make sense to us today, like Fio being an engineer at 17 and her love for Marco playing out straight instead of as a teen crush. But the movie had some serious things to say about depression, survivor's guilt and politics. And the music. The Bygone Days. In Search of the Distant Era. Toki ni wa Mukashi no Hanashi wo. Le Temps Des Cerises.
I had NEVER heard of Porco Rosso until I saw Joe Hisaishi in concert and he played a piece from this, I decided to go watch it and it immediately became a comfort movie, it’s so beautiful Though I do prefer the dialogue from the Japanese version
Watch perfect blue if you haven seen that and I consider this my birthday wish fulfilled! C'mon people that know what I'm talking about, upvote this so we can see their glorious reactions to one of the greatest accomplishments in cinema!
Japanese bilingual here. It's definitely pronounced ji-blee. In the logo it's embedded in the japanese phonetic characters. Miyazaki acknowledged that the word was not pronounced like in the original language (which i think was arabic) in an interview, but that the studio name is set now. No one in Japan will know what you're talking about if you say it with a hard g.
Love this movie, second only to Kikki's Delivery Service. I particularly love the ending. Third and fourth film I love especially is "Only Yesterday"and "Whisper of the Heart" both from a time before Ghibli lost its way. Just a pity you watched the English dub instead to the original Japanese.the English dubs are so bland
I think I have to disagree respectfully, I was looking for one other person to mention this in the comments but no one did so maybe it's just me. I didn't love a lot of the stuff they did with Fio and the other women, like the sexist comments about women shouldn't be building planes, the weird borderline romance thing between Fio (who is 17) and Porco/Curtis who are grown men, the way she was objectified and used as a prize for the competition, and there was one particularly awful line of dialogue when she's trying to persuade Porco to let her help with the plane and she asks if he says no because of her age or gender; he says both, and she responds that she "can't help her gender" and instead justifies age, when it should be the other way around! I mean yes she can't control her gender but she literally apologized for being a woman. Idk, it could've all been a lot worse, but but I would really hesitate to call this feminist because there was never any follow up with any of these instances about how they were sexist and wrong.
Hey guys, the semi-villian) Curtis here is supposed to be Glen Curtiss (1878-1930) the Aviation pioneer and aircraft manufacturer (Curtiss Aircraft/Curtiss-Wright Engines). He was rumored to have a sketchy rep business-wise, and fought a 10-year "Patent War" with the Wright Bros.
It's a different Curtiss, but the airplane Donald Curtiss flies is an actual Curtiss Aircraft racing plane from the prestigious Schneider Cup seaplane races, which are referenced in several ways in the film. The truck that Porco and Fio drive thru Milan is another Curtiss design, with the articulated bed.
Homies, unrelated question...I know you guys are supporting the SAG-AFTRA strike and not posting any new content from struck properties. Does this mean you're simply not filming any content from new shows/movies that have come out since the start of the strike, or are you still filming the reactions and have a "backlog" that you will eventually post once the strike is over (even if those shows/movies may be long in the past)?
Being bilingual it's always funny to see the differences in translation. In the German Dub nobody has an accent. They all speak normal. Interesting American choice to give some people accents and others not.
Can anyone explain why there haven't been almost any reactions? No Loki season 2. No ahsoka. Wtf? If it's the SAG strike, they haven't made it clear...
I always follow and love you guys because your review about marvel stuff was very attractive and informative , if you don’t do that anymore I’ll feel bad about this 😭👋
Nah, let films like this remain untouched by "3d remakes". The creative industry atm lacks the ability to faithhfully recreate greats, especially western ones that fail to identify or outright deny narrative nuance. Also Ghibli's last venture into 3D animation was... disturbing.
I want everyone to see Laputa: Castle in the Sky. All the characters are full of love (except Musca) and I consider this film to be Ghibli's masterpiece. To put it bluntly, if you don't like Castle in the Sky, I suggest you don't watch any of Ghibli's works.
When Fio flies the little jet at the end over Gina's island, you can see Porco's plane parked on the small dock at the back.
Good catch!
17:03 Indeed, flying a plane is expensive. There was a saying back then: "You can make a small fortune in aviation, you just need to start with a big fortune."
This may not have been the fist Ghibli film I saw, but it's easily my favorite by a wide margin.
Despite it not being nearly as fantastical as others, there's something magical about it that just fills me with this strange nostalgia.

You just described my experience with Porco Rosso lol
The pirates being the very reason of it

They out and out say it was a curse. It’s still a metaphor but it’s not nondiagetic.
I agree with most of your views. However, I think one of the reasons is that he did not want to love Gina. Deep down he loved her. But to her husbands who lost their lives, his best friends, he felt sorry for them. And he feared that if he died, he would cause her grief again, like her husbands.
So he became a pig so that she would not love him and he would not love her.
Yeah, no, he’s a pig lol
I am going to click away, not because I am not interested, because I haven't seen this movie yet, I am gonna go see it and then return
Basically, Porco has Survivor's guilt, and probably PTSD. he turned into a pig because he doesn't think he deserves to live, and that he's selfish for not dying in the war, when we clearly see how selfless he is, trying to take his friend's place in the hallucination of heaven he saw during the battle.
Yeah, Susan Egan played Belle on Broadway, but didn't voice her in the film -- that was Paige O'Hara. However, she did voice Megara in Hercules.
She was also Lin in Spirited Away
If there's anyone who really wants to know if Porco eventually went to meet Gina or not, check the last monologue scene by Fio where her jet is passing by GIna's island (in this movie around 44:06, unfortunately slightly been cut). Zoom and observe the pier right side of the island.

I don't want that!'. In the dub they missed a couple of crucial comic lines which added to the film...bilingual here.
And when Porco describes the cloud of ghost planes to Fio, he actually concludes, "But that may have been Hell."
Just FYI, most of the planes in the movie are based on actual seaplanes from the 1930s made by Italy, Germany, USA etc.
17:28 Funny you mentioned Lofi Girl here, because the next Ghibli movie after Porco rosso, Whisper of the Heart, is THE actual inspiration for Lofi girl
A scene from Porco Rosso was obviously taken from the short story ‘They Shall Not Grow Old’ by Roald Dahl, who was a WWII fighter pilot. It's a beautiful story and well worth a read.
Thank you. I went to look it up. It was definitely inspired by it since it has a slightly different meaning here
Aaah! My favorite Ghibli film! 😁 So glad you reacted to this.

This is a top 3 Ghibli film for me. Glad y'all enjoyed it so much!
Classic. One of his best films in my opinion.
Actually I’ve been waited that you guys react to the Porco Rosso!!
I really love this movie. And I think this movie is also for grown up guys,not only for children.
This one and Howls are my favorites of all timez Totoro is the childhood classic that’s timeless❤️❤️ STEM and engineering is life!!

I’ve been trying to decide for years if it would be possible to capture even half the magic of ghibli in live action. They’re all so carefully crafted that I don’t know how you’d be able to replicate it even with a shot for shot remake. It would have to be a labor of love
宮崎駿の祖父は宮崎航空工業という会社の創業者で、当時東洋最大の航空機メーカー中島飛行機の下請けをしていました。また父親の宮崎勝次氏は航空エンジニアでしたので、宮崎駿の飛行機好きはDNAに刻まれたものです✨😌
またジブリの由来は宮崎駿が1番好きなイタリアの飛行機の名前でイタリア語で「熱風」という意味です。
Miyazaki Hayao's grandfather was the founder of a company called Miyazaki Aviation Industry, which was a subcontractor for Nakajima Aircraft, the largest aircraft manufacturer in the Orient at the time. His father, Miyazaki Katsuji, was an aeronautical engineer, so Miyazaki Hayao's love of airplanes is in his DNA. ✨😌
The origin of Ghibli comes from the name of Miyazaki Hayao's favorite Italian airplane, which means "hot air" in Italian.
this is the best ghibli movie i loved. Some people would rather become pigs than go against their inner kindness and join in all the filth in the world.

Grave of the Fireflies isn’t even the most gut-wrenching anime about WW2. Barefoot Gen (1983) specifically highlights the author’s real experiences as a survivor of the Hiroshima bombing. There’s nothing else quite like it, even GOTFF

An absolutely undercooked classic. My favourite Ghibli film, so rewatchable. You just want to live in this film.
We need more reviewers for this anime! Jesus, I love this movie so much.
The Lo-fi girl is a Ghibli girl, just not this Ghibli girl.
Also, I expect you're going to get a real kick out of learning what song she's listening to.
the easy going attitude on air combat is a reference to world war 1. Back then pilots were known as knights of the sky and acting all chivalrous.
Something that was lost in the late 30 when combat aircrafts were mass produced. Though traces remained into WW2
oh, this is a curious change... in the english dub he's Marco Rossellini? Interesting choice, I wonder why... you see in the original he was Marco Pagot. The surname was a homage to Marco Pagot, italian animator and comic-writer who was son of one of the Pagot brothers (Nino and Toni) who were famous pioneers of the comics and animation in Italy. Years earlier their studio had made a italian-japanese coproduction, the animated series Sherlock Hound (yep, a canine version of Baker Street famous detective xD). They had befriended Miyazaki, so when Marco heard he would have made a movie set in the Mediterranean sea, and in some zones of Italy, he sent him books with more info and visual references
Oh also there is a italian dub (we dub 99,9% of everything here xD) and it's very good!

I might have an explanation for this version of a pilot's afterlife. There was a song by Hans Albers from 1932 (th-cam.com/video/bjjE15ClLgw/w-d-xo.html).
Here is the English translation of the lyrics:
The Song of the Airmen
From the North Pole to the South Pole
Is just as far as a cat can jump
We conduct the flight
In any kind of weather.
We don't hesitate, we get started!
Whatever may happen,
The song of the airmen
Will sound through wind and weather:
Airman, give my regards to the sun,
And to the stars,
And to the moon.
Your life means being airborne
And flying long distances
Crossing vast areas, where nobody lives.
The propeller races faster and faster
Just the way you love it!
For pilots, there is nothing off-limits
So put it at full throttle
And fly around the world!
Pick up the nicest one of the falling stars
And take it home as a gift for your girl!
[Choir]:
Airman, give my regards to the sun,
And to the stars,
And to the moon.
Airman, give my regards to the sun,
And to the stars,
And to the moon.
Your life means being airborne
And flying long distances
Crossing vast areas, where nobody lives.
The propeller races faster and faster
Just the way you love it!
For pilots, there is nothing off-limits
So put it at full throttle
And fly around the world!
[H. Albers]:
Pick up the nicest one of the falling stars
And take it home as a gift for your girl!
[Choir]:
Airman, give my regards to the sun,
And to the stars,
And to the moon.
This is my favorite Studio Ghibli film; the whole thing is just pure joy!
Better a pig than a fascist
Porco rosso was movie for japanese airline at first. but movie was good so Porco rosso was be released in theatres.
Great reaction! This is such a good movie!

OMFG I LOVE YALL!! one of my fav go-to ghibli films ever!! SO PLEASED y’all reacted to this!
The inspiration for the Lo-Fi girl actually came from another Ghibli movie you haven’t covered yet (mentioned in replies if you don’t want spoiled)
The movie is Whisper of The Heart
Susan Egan played Meg

This was fantastic!
B-b-but, I want to see the three of you guys turn into a blubbery mess with Grave of the Fireflies! 🤣
🤣🤣
This movie is SOOO good, but hardly ever acknowledged 😔✨ I'm so so happy you're watching it
if you watch at the end, when they show the plane flying over the cafe, you can see porco's plane in the back ... he showed up.
I love Porco Rosso, and it’s fun to watch someone see it for the first time. Will you guys be reacting to Ahsoka at some point?
As soon as the Actor’s Strike is over!
Fair enough

You guys need to do Lupin the 3rd: Castle of Cagliostro! or Cowboy Bebop: Future Blues.
Cagliostro is so fucking fun!!
You missed the inestimable David Ogden Stires as old man Piccolo. He's always good.
I had NEVER heard of Porco Rosso until I saw Joe Hisaishi in concert and he played a piece from this, I decided to go watch it and it immediately became a comfort movie, it’s so beautiful
Though I do prefer the dialogue from the Japanese version
I really with you guys would check out Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. It has THE best Ghibli score and it's visually an incredible experience.
Nice reaction!
日本の国際線の機内視聴映画用に制作されて、本当に機内視聴されてたらしいのですが、当時機内でしか見ることができないエンディングが存在したらしい。
今となってはそのエンディングを見ることができない。
This is my faaaaavorite Ghibli film, besides Kiki.
日本語ver.と英語ver.とでは雰囲気が違うね～✨
Yooo!!! Where are your tv series episodes reactions? Miss that guys.
Never can really get into Keaton's Porco. He just sounds too smooth, while Moriyama had the perfect cranky scoundrel-rasp.
The French dub was by Gerard Depardieu, and Miyazaki liked it a lot.
Watch perfect blue if you haven seen that and I consider this my birthday wish fulfilled! C'mon people that know what I'm talking about, upvote this so we can see their glorious reactions to one of the greatest accomplishments in cinema!
ポルコは、戦争を経験し、多くの友人を失い、また大切なジーナも失うことを、恐れるあまり、人間であることに臆病になり豚になることを選んでしまった。
最後に彼はフィオやカーチスから勇気をもらって改めて人間として歩みを進めることを選んだ。そんな人が誰しもが直面する葛藤の物語であると私は考えます。
Japanese bilingual here. It's definitely pronounced ji-blee. In the logo it's embedded in the japanese phonetic characters. Miyazaki acknowledged that the word was not pronounced like in the original language (which i think was arabic) in an interview, but that the studio name is set now. No one in Japan will know what you're talking about if you say it with a hard g.
Love this movie, second only to Kikki's Delivery Service. I particularly love the ending. Third and fourth film I love especially is "Only Yesterday"and "Whisper of the Heart" both from a time before Ghibli lost its way. Just a pity you watched the English dub instead to the original Japanese.the English dubs are so bland
I thought Dany Devito would be good and I did not know Micheal Keaton. Thanks.
This is Miyazaki’s men’s movie also a feminist’s movie(the engineer, building plane by women)
I think I have to disagree respectfully, I was looking for one other person to mention this in the comments but no one did so maybe it's just me. I didn't love a lot of the stuff they did with Fio and the other women, like the sexist comments about women shouldn't be building planes, the weird borderline romance thing between Fio (who is 17) and Porco/Curtis who are grown men, the way she was objectified and used as a prize for the competition, and there was one particularly awful line of dialogue when she's trying to persuade Porco to let her help with the plane and she asks if he says no because of her age or gender; he says both, and she responds that she "can't help her gender" and instead justifies age, when it should be the other way around! I mean yes she can't control her gender but she literally apologized for being a woman. Idk, it could've all been a lot worse, but but I would really hesitate to call this feminist because there was never any follow up with any of these instances about how they were sexist and wrong.
This movie is so good! ❤
“I’d rather be a pig than a fascist”
This is a rare excellent dub.
Hey guys, the semi-villian) Curtis here is supposed to be Glen Curtiss (1878-1930) the Aviation pioneer and aircraft manufacturer (Curtiss Aircraft/Curtiss-Wright Engines). He was rumored to have a sketchy rep business-wise, and fought a 10-year "Patent War" with the Wright Bros.
It's a different Curtiss, but the airplane Donald Curtiss flies is an actual Curtiss Aircraft racing plane from the prestigious Schneider Cup seaplane races, which are referenced in several ways in the film. The truck that Porco and Fio drive thru Milan is another Curtiss design, with the articulated bed.
Loki season 2 reactions????????????
I’ve watched this movie in Italian and English it’s great in both languages
Please watch “The castle of cagliostro”.
Almost Japanese love this film!
He looks like two of the metal band leaders with sunglasses and a mustache
We need grave of the fireflies, no matter if the strike is resolved now.
wait why not Grave of the Fireflies????
Actually, the English voice actress for Gina is the one who did Meg in Hercules!
please continue your ghibli series !! 🥹 i can’t wait to see what u watch next
You need to watch Castle in the Sky! It's one of the oldest Ghibli films but shouldn't be missed!
Homies, unrelated question...I know you guys are supporting the SAG-AFTRA strike and not posting any new content from struck properties. Does this mean you're simply not filming any content from new shows/movies that have come out since the start of the strike, or are you still filming the reactions and have a "backlog" that you will eventually post once the strike is over (even if those shows/movies may be long in the past)?
Please watch the wind rises! You will love it!
Why did you stop with the Ghibli reactions? I'm a little sad there don't seem to be any others after this one...
Why you guys are not reacting to Loki season 2 ??😊
Converted into 3D? No way dude.
Hi guys, are you planning on reacting to Loki 2 series? If not, pretty please :D
Is actually 1930s in that timeline
When will you react to Loki, Ashoka, Etc.? Miss those videos man
When are you guys going back to doing the marvel stuff. We need it! Loki season 2 is dope and I know Adam is all about it!
Being bilingual it's always funny to see the differences in translation. In the German Dub nobody has an accent. They all speak normal. Interesting American choice to give some people accents and others not.
"Better a pig than a facist"!
"A pig that cannot fly is just an ordinary pig"
ITS GINA
Can anyone explain why there haven't been almost any reactions? No Loki season 2. No ahsoka. Wtf? If it's the SAG strike, they haven't made it clear...
I always follow and love you guys because your review about marvel stuff was very attractive and informative , if you don’t do that anymore I’ll feel bad about this 😭👋
Why are y’all not watching Loki?????? Missing out on amazing television is crazy
ikr
@@totygamer2548we’re waiting for the Actor’s Strike to end.
@@hectorminator ah okay understandable, I thought it already ended
@@totygamer2548 the Writer’s Strike did! But we’re still waiting on the Actor’s Strike. = )

Nah, let films like this remain untouched by "3d remakes". The creative industry atm lacks the ability to faithhfully recreate greats, especially western ones that fail to identify or outright deny narrative nuance. Also Ghibli's last venture into 3D animation was... disturbing.
I want everyone to see Laputa: Castle in the Sky.
All the characters are full of love (except Musca) and I consider this film to be Ghibli's masterpiece.
To put it bluntly, if you don't like Castle in the Sky, I suggest you don't watch any of Ghibli's works.
This people have a problem with starting channels and not uploading videos and later on abandoning it.
When will you react Loki 2 ?
As soon as the Actor’s Strike is over!
HOLY CROW FERRARI IS SPONGEBOB
