Studio Ghibli/YMMV

These things about are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.


 * Awesome Art: Ghibli is know for their attention to detail and carefully crafted movements. Unlike most other anime studios, their focus isn't on fluid fights and big battles. Rather, the studio tends to focus on romanticising the mundane, painting the events of the current world in a more beautiful and eloquent light.
 * Awesome Music: Ghibli, alongside Miyazaki's composer Joe Hisaishi, is absolutely known for this. Every single one of his scores has a memorable Leitmotif, which is developed and expanded upon in the works that use it.
 * Ear Worm: Combined with their Awesome Music, some of their tracks are absolutely this, like the main motif of The Borrower Arrietty or My Neighbor Totoro.
 * Escapist Character: Ghibli's worlds can be more dreamy and well developed than the real world, helped along with stunning attention to detail and lavish greenery. It's no wonder that many people wish to escape into their worlds and become the characters inhibiting them.
 * Germans Love David Hasselhoff: Ghibli is just as loved, if not more loved, in the USA than its home country. New Ghibli productions, although having low grosses, are frequently nominated for American awards, and are regularly re-screened to a small but dedicated group of fans. Spirited Away is the only traditionally animated and non-American film winning the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
 * Toy Ship: Ghibli's films starring teenagers or adolescents tend to have these. Their child protagonists don't tend to engage in romances, but share some sweet scenes together.
