Chie the Brat isn't Studio Ghibli, but the the TV series was directed by Isao Takahata.

WTK

Chie the Brat is up to pre-order!

The Isao Takahata comedy-drama classic gets an English subbed release for the 1st time ever!

Before he made Grave of the Fireflies, Only Yesterday, & more, he told stories about the unluckiest little girl in Japan.

***

Chie the Brat includes all 64 episodes of the series in one set.

The video for this one is a bit soft, but a pleasant overall watch.

Brand-new top quality subtitles for the entire series.

Extras include a clean ED & a Blu-ray promo.

A few screenshots of the video.

***

Chie the Brat is just an amazingly high quality comedy-drama.

The quality of the characters, humor, & drama means it’s inspired & continued to influence for decades.

It’s so much fun to watch from beginning to end.

I'd love to get this. Can it be ordered from any other on-line vendors? Or will it be available in stores? Thanks.

Discotek Media only deals with two retailers: Crunchyroll (was Right Stuf) and Amazon. Crunchyroll will be the cheapest especially if you can get to free S/H threshold. Amazon usually sells Discotek Media pre-orders at MSRP.

Kind of funny how the 8th or 9th best Miyazaki film won an Oscar.

WTK

【天空の城ラピュタ】 フルCGでラピュタが現れた時の感動を再現 / CASTLE IN THE SKY FULL CG short movie (Fan art) 小山順之

Cellar Door

^looks pretty cool. I rewatched Castle in the Sky last year--enjoyed it even more than the first time. I'm conflicted, because one of the things I like most about the Ghibli films is the beautiful 2D animation, but I have to admit that it would be interesting to see some well-made CGI+live action versions of some of them.

WTK

I saw this today (it was posted from November 2022). It's taken from The Art of Princess Mononoke.
