Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones. Pretty good and comfy, different from the movie, though, specially at the end.

I didn't grow up on them either and saw only Spirited Away as a child (liked it a lot), the rest pierced stright through the right emotional place in me as the person I am today.
I showed my 4 year old brother ghibli stuff like Totoro and Ponyo and it was really heartwarming to see how he was filled with wonder and laughter. And ask me what the hell was going on when catbus appeared.

4chan has made me jaded. I feel sad and slightly bitter that these films would have made a huge difference to my childhood. But instead, I grew up on 4chan. What a sad little man I am.

How the fuck did you "grow up" here and not notice that this site loves Ghibli?

Kind of an extension of >>8836520. Ghibli to me feels like a slight Japanization of anglo-lady /lit/. In fact this is obvious because so many of their works are adaptions of just the thing.

>Howl's Moving Castle
>Anne of Green Gables (Ghibli staff worked on this before Ghibli)
>When Marnie Was There
Stuff like this you want.

Grew up on r9k. I'm so bitter and drenched in virginity that I don't think I'll ever find love. If I were to have sex it would have to be paid. And I'd have to be drunk to be able to do talk to a girl.

Simply put; I have nothing in common with the female race.

My favourite book is Picture of Dorian Grey. I'm rereading Letters to a Stoic.

If it wasn't for //lit/. I wouldn't be into philosophy and literature. I'd still be on the occasional YA.

Are you shitting me, brah?

Studio Ghibli has literally based films off of literature?
