Watch The New Studio Ghibli Animated Short

Whilst Studio Ghibli are taking a break form making feature films the studio is still active working on short film productions and their latest has been produced for the energy company Marubeni Shin Denryoku who are touting their shift towards low-pollution, renewable wind, water, and solar-based energy production. The source of this film is the 12th century “Choju Jinbutsu Giga” or Scrolls of Frolicking Animals which are considered to be the earliest examples of manga in Japanese history and were chosen by Ghibli as a symbol of the natural beauty of pre-industrial era Japan. 

5 SHIPS I’LL GO DOWN WITH

Tagged by @ghost-fish a REALLY LONG TIME AGO I’M SO SORRY I DIDN’T GET AROUND TO IT EARLIER in this post 8D AS USUAL PREPARE FOR UNNECESSARY SCREAMING AND RAMBLING. I ADDED PICTURES TO THIS ONE BECAUSE I LIKE LOOKING AT MY FAVOURITE SHIPS HURHUR. ON THE BRIGHT SIDE Read Mores seem to be working on mobile (…for now) so I’ll save some scrolling for y’all who don’t want to see me fangirl repeatedly 8P

**SPOILER ALERTS FOR MAGIC KNIGHT RAYEARTH, HOWL’S MOVING CASTLE, AND SUPER HUGE SPOILER ALERT FOR THE LEGEND OF ZELDA:SKYWARD SWORD. JUST ON THE OFF CHANCE SOMEONE HASN’T SEEN/READ/PLAYED THOSE AND DOESN’T WANT TO BE SPOILED**

1. Hikaru x Lantis (Magic Knight Rayearth)

I KNOW THEIR INTERACTIONS AND CHARACTER ARCHETYPES AND WHAT HAVE YOU ARE ALL REALLY CLICHÉ

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT THIS SERIES IS FROM 1994 WHEN THEY WEREN’T AS CONDEMNED YET SO *gushes*

ALSO I HAVEN’T WATCHED THE ANIME BUT I HEARD IT’S DIFFERENT AND SORT OF A HUGE GONG SHOW BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T EXPECT A SECOND ARC LOL SO I’LL JUST REMAIN IN IGNORANCE ABOUT WHATEVER HAPPENS THERE

2. Howl x Sophie (Howl’s Moving Castle)

THIS IS STILL MY FAVOURITE GHIBLI SCENE FOR MY FAVOURITE GHIBLI COUPLE *flails*

I KNOW THIS SCENE HAS LIKE THE CHEESIEST DIALOGUE EVER BUT THE FIRST TIME I WATCHED IT, I WAS IN MY ADOLESCENCE, AND IT REALLY STUCK WITH ME AAAAAAAAAA *sappy screaming*

3. Link x Zelda (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword)

OKAY I’M GENERALLY LOW KEY LINK X ZELDA, BUT JUST FOR SKYWARD SWORD THAT GAME ALMOST MADE ME CRY OVER THEM WITH THIS SCENE

(I mean it also helps

that they were actually best buds and had life together before the story begins so there’s way more basis for a romantic relationship in this particular game compared to most of the others xD)

4. Ladybug x Cat Noir (from Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir)

JUST LOOK AT THOSE DORKS. UGH. I’M REALLY BIASED TO LIKING THIS PAIRING THOUGH SIMPLY BECAUSE I REALLY CONNECT WITH THE WAY LADYBUG IS SUPER AWKS WITH HIM LOL.

5. Lux x Ezreal (from League of Legends)

Lux could be doing the carrying actually BUT ON A SLIGHTLY MORE SERIOUS NOTE LOOK AT THIS CANNON PIC THAT EZ KEEPS AND IS SUPER ADORABLY EMBARASSED ABOUT

SO YOU KNOW WHAT I HAVE ALREADY DEVELOPED TOO MUCH HEADCANNON THAT I REFUSE TO LET GO OF AND I SHIP THESE TWO BAHBBIES INTO OBLIVION NOW

———-

IT LOOKS LIKE THIS TAG HAS NOTHING ABOUT OBLIGATORY TAGGING WHEEEEE 8DDD SO WHOEVER FEELS LIKE DOING THIS JUST DO IT OwO
