Studio Ghibli films are recognized for the style of their animation and for the healthy idea of the romances that they propose, in addition to having developments of relentless and brave protagonists. The approach that Ghibli shows is the idea of a love that grows safely, coupled with the individual goals of the characters for their own self-realization.

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time—2006: Apple TV
It is a romantic science fiction story based on the novel by Yasutaka Tsutsui, one of the most important critical writers in contemporary Japan.
Tsutsui writes sarcastic criticism with audacity, exposes the corporalities, the evil and the contradictions of the society system. However, in this film, we will be able to see its young protagonist deal with these things in a subtle way.
A romance will build slowly and the outcome will be firm but delicate.

Tales from Earthsea—2006: Netflix
It tells the story of a fantastic medieval world in which, for the first time, the princess will be a dragon. impressive, right
Well says K. Le Guin: “Those who do not believe in dragons are often eaten by them”and it is that although the writer’s fans did not think it was a good adaptation and the Ghibli community thought it was an insipid adventure.
It is probably perceived that way because it belongs to one of the unfinished sagas of the science fiction and fantasy writer Ursula K. Le Guin. In other words, it’s just a small part of the big story.
The narration is much more intense and sharp than in the other Ghibli films, in Tales from Earthsea We will see a fight with curses and a very intense journey. The story focuses on a couple of young people who will help each other to reach a castle to defeat the bad guys. Towards the end a great secret will be revealed.
The impossibility of love comes in many forms, but if you want to love, you might not worry about having a dragon princess for a girlfriend. To think about how to overcome the many obstacles of love, this anime movie is perfect for February 14.
February 14th and a subtle Japanese romance
Natsume Sōseki is one of Japan’s most important classical writers, insisting that Japanese is one of the most symbolic and sensitive languages. Because of this, a myth developed that was supposedly born when he taught translation classes. On one occasion, one of his students asked the correct way to translate “I love you.”
Sōseki did not hesitate, he mentioned that it was likely that the ideal translation, since a Japanese would never use the expression “I love you”, would be something like “The moon is beautiful tonight.” In this same way, the deep romances of the films we selected are presented.
We hope you can see them from this perspective, much more subtle and different from western romance.because you may not at first recognize the transcendental romance that they generate in a clean but slow way.
We avoid listing your name and the moving castleamong other anime movies, not because their merit is less, but because they are currently popular enough. However, seeing them again will always be refreshing and hopeful.
You can a round for discord and don’t miss the news on Google news.
