I've never seen that one.

There's not really a plot. You see his regular life activities and that's... basically it.

Oh. Pretty much the same reason I don't like Kiki's Delivery Service.

There IS a plot for Kiki. Granted, it's mostly just... "Adolescent girl matures as she's thrust into the world on her own" and seeing how she grows and ends up flourishing. But it's definitely not a super exciting one like Howl's moving castle where you know from early on, it's about some girl and her journey with howl to try and restore her youth.

To me it was just girl (who happens to have unquestioned witch powers) just going around doing stuff with very little moments of conflict that gets resolved almost immediately for about an hour and a half.

I thought it sucked when I was a kid too if it makes you feel any better.

Ah. While you may have missed some of the narrative, that immediate resolution thing is definitely true for like 95% of the problems. There's like 20 total. :l

The problem with nearly every studio ghibli movie I was was that the pacing is all nice and slow, gets you immersed into this nice fairy tale world, then the endings are mostly rushed or ends abruptly.

I still love about 4-5 of them though

I think I would have liked it more if there was at least one asshole in town that took issue with her being a witch. Like, this recurring character that's always going at her or attacking her character because of her background and she have to prove them wrong or befriend them near the end or some shit.

Yep. It's a common thing for films. I watched some french film the other year and it was basically

Woman is a teacher
Her husband/ the principal is caught cheating by her kids
Divorce
She spends a summer in a commune writing her novels
Her daughter has a kid
Then everyone's there for Christmas and she embraces being a grandma

That's it. No real plot, just... Life. :l Really boring to like 90% of Americans, and understandably so.

Yeah, Americans cant really enjoy anything if there arent any fight or car chase scenes and some semblance of blood onscreen.
Meh. There are plenty of movies I like without those things, personally.

Most Ghiblli movies to me are either meh or boring. And some of them from what I hear a lot of people say, seem way overrated. But maybe they're just not for me. Princess Mononoke though, is easily a top 10 anime of all time.

For me the appeal of Ghibli films isn't the plots. Each film feels more like a spiritual state of being rather than a movie experience. There's a real value in that, though it doesn't appeal to everybody, justifiably so.

If you don't like a movie that means it sucks. Movies should be universally good. None of this "acquired taste" or "target audience" stuff. A person that isn't into the genre should at least be able to appreciate the narrative .
