I chose Porco Rosso to give a nod to one of his lesser known films, but I also love Kiki’s Delivery Service, Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away.

I had a phase where Nausicaa was my favorite of his films but Spirited Away has just enough seasoning (nostalgia) to make it my number 1. Was cemented when I went to the Joe Hisaishi concert and couldn't stop sobbing over his performance of One Summer's Day 😂

Honestly, I love all his films and own all of them (shout out to gkids) but my top three would be:

1. Spirited Away
2. Nausicaa
3. Princess Mononoke

The one I gravitate towards the least is prob The Boy and the Heron, I also don't believe for a second that that's his final project. As long as Miyazaki can still hold a pen, he'll want to keep creating 😂

Princess Mononoke. A shame that Shuna's Journey was cobbled together into Earthsea. It and the rest of Nausicaa's manga would work well as movies.

I also read EU/US comics and am a librarian.

I saw only spirited away, and found it way too disturbing, now I am scared to even watch any other ones, so voted that i don't have favorite... just not my style...
