Sometimes they arrive after much adventure. Sometimes arriving is a discovery. Sometimes it's not an end but the beginning of something. Sometimes it's a departure. They all look forward, taking us with them, into whatever awaits.

- Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Spirited Away's image of a train moving through shallow water has always grabbed me.

- I hope someone gets this into the Internet Archive as a tidy ZIP so we don’t have to scrape them… I’ve just pushed https://github.com/rcarmo/python-fastapi-trmnl-server and these images are going to look great as part of the rotation.
Edit: someone apparently did - https://www.tumblr.com/three-thousand-worlds/169781667311/st...
- I am in a position I suspect many would be envious of. I've never seen any of these films. My first experience waits ahead!
Where should I begin? I have kids in the 10-15 year old bracket if people think they'd make a good family experience.

- I swap back and forth between favorit movies. Every few days it may be Goodfellas. Some days it is The Room. But I always return to Kiki’s delivery service and Howls moving castle. Both are absolutely gorgeous and incredibly well told.
I also find myself quoting porco rosso a lot lately.
This a treasure trove of gorgeous lockscreen images. Very excited to put them into rotation.
- Well I just scraped the hell out of that. Some very pretty images. I know it is labor intensive, but they really put the effort into a massive amount of hand drawn frames for some of these movies and it shows in the final product.
- They are so beautiful that i dont want any of these been stole by AI.
- Can someone explain why the Ghibli films are so popular?
I’ve been on a Ghibli binge this week because my wife can’t believe that I’ve never watched any of their films so we’ve watched 1 a day. I wasn’t intentionally avoiding them, they just didn’t seem interesting based on the few clips I’ve seen. Having watched a few, my opinion is unchanged. I enjoyed them, I just don’t ‘get’ the craze.
While the films are generally beautifully animated, I simply couldn’t get into the stories nor understand why they’re so highly acclaimed. I say this as an anime fan and a fairly typical otaku.
The stories don’t really have a proper conclusion, it’s often a pattern of a thing happened, let’s undo the thing, life goes on.
The Japanese voice acting is often quite bad as Miyazaki seems to have a very thing against using professional voice actors.
The music’s cool though.
- Nausica
- Raputa
- Totoro
- Mononoke
- Spirited away
- Howl

- A movie theater in my city (northern europe) shown both Kiki's Delivery Service and Howl's Moving Castle. It was just pure joy to watch them in big screen.
I wish they were remastered in 4K, though.

- Few images I have looked at include the characters as well. When I watched "When Marine Was There" I loved the background stills and wanted to use them as wallpaper or something. The house with the lake looked otherworldly to me.
I don't know how to navigate this website and if it even contains the backgrounds only. Does it have those, are Ghibli movie backgrounds available anywhere else?

- I am not clicking on that link. Few stills of Grave of the Fireflies and I will have to place order for fresh tissue boxes.
- Always happy to see stills from my favorite Ghibli film, "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind".
- I'm so glad that this is available so some cretin with TPUs can train the next culturally and morally compromised generative model.
