That might be too dark for the channel, but it’s a great film. Park Chan-wook and Bong Joon-ho made me fall in love with Korean cinema. Hopefully, they watch my favorite, Memories of Murder.

satoshi kon 🐐

Taylor Kim

Please react to Korean movie "Old boy" it is awesome.

May Lin

This is my list of anime movies recommendations :) Look back The boy and the beast Wolf children The girl who leapt through time Paprika Millennium Actress The cat returns Perfect Blue Tokyo Godfather Steamboy

Poragami

I HIGHLY recommend One Piece Movie 6, you have to watch it. One Piece in a different artstyle with darker elements. We don't need more cozy movies, let's watch one that isn't cozy lmao

Patriicia

I love Totoro ❤️❤️❤️

Brianna Tsao

Akira is a masterpiece. Seen it seven times now. One of the most important moments in animation period. Probably too old though for the majority gen z demographic that watches this channel

jrnoodles

Thanks! I knew of My Neighbor Totoro, didn't know what it was about. I was never interested to watch it. Decided to watch it with you Geks. Would have probably liked the movie has a kid. Has an adult, boring AF. Very beautiful movie aesthetically though.

Nick K

The whole time I was watching this with you guys I was waiting for it to get sad with the mom, and I've seen this before, but then when it ended I realized when I first saw this movie I was expecting it to be sad like you guys and that's what I was remembering. Also a haunted house and spirits mean very different things in japanese culture. There are certainly evil spirits but there are also benign and benevolent spirits, much like in Spirited Away. Unlike western society where paganism was demonized and anything besides christianity was rebranded as evil, so when you're raised in the west any spirit that isn't the holy spirit is like an evil ghost, but outside of christian societies spirits are much more varied.

Nick K

The movie is just posted in full completely free on youtube OFFICIALLY which is wild in itself but also perfect because it's one of the best scifi films to this day and everyone should watch it. You know a scifi movie was truly great when it's still amazing 30 years after it came out

TheSauceGuy

Some bug going around?

Cryptcat

I second this, im glad i looked though the comments after commenting mine

Cryptcat

I hope you guys watch whispers of the heart or kiki's delivery service next for ghibli. I would really like to see "I want to eat your pancreas" though.

Touchmi

In the English dub the end credit song talks about Totoro. Its a forest spirit that only kids can see.

Ron

Akira would be peak

Mysterious Figure

I know. You already shaved it off. Ever a boy. Never a man. 😂 (there's always next week)

Touchmi

My wonder is, when are you going to do Cyberpunk Edgerunners (English Dub of course, cause it takes place in Night City, USA)

Touchmi

My neighbor Totoro.! God damn this brings back memories. I was like 4yrs old watching this. This was my first anime. If you ever have kids, this is a good one to have them watch at a young age.

Cannon Andrus

Yes we all are unfortunately

Cannon Andrus

😔

CoLdBITeR

I agree

ミ

i'd like to recommend castle in the sky. it's one of my absolute favorites!!😊

ミ

yess!! only yesterday is so good🥹

Daniella

I really wished i watched Totoro as a child it's such a feel good film! I would recommend Maquia or I want to eat your pancreas as well both really good movies with great messages :)

cris

try mamoru hosoda films like "BELLE", "Wolf Children" and "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" they are great !!

SlamboHamburg

This is my favorite childhood movie 🥹 the nostalgia is so real Are y'all planning to watch The Boy and The Heron? It's stunningly beautiful

Jude

I wanna recommend I Want to Eat Your Pancreas. I know its a weird title but it isn't like a gory or horror type movie but more similar to titles like Your Name or A Silent Voice.

Sasha

I have not seen McKay smiling so brightly😁

Sasha

If the top keeps spinning it's just a dream

Sasha

When is The Boy and the Heron happening?

T

This is kind of random but I really want to recommend The First Slam Dunk for your next anime movie! It's like a spin-off of an extremely famous basketball manga series called Slam Dunk and I think you'll like it seeing how you've enjoyed Haikyu and are b-ball fans. Unfortunately the original anime was made decades ago so it's not good for reactions but the recent movie is very wellmade! Obviously you'll understand it better if you know the manga but you don't have to to enjoy it

Sasha

When Marnie Was There, The Wind Rises, The Cat Returns. Top 3 Ghibli movies.

ROSS

Redline is peak

Vanesa

The original

Frank Miller

Perfect Blue, Akira and Ghost in the Shell next please :)

Sasha

How is Germany and Japan related at all😂 except for almost a hundred years ago

Andrew Muggleton

Only yesterday would be great for another Ghibli film not by Miyazaki

Christina Laegel

Oh my gosh yay!!! I love this one. It was my first ever Ghibli film. Looking forward to watching this and seeing your thoughts 😁

Frida BØ

I haven’t seen this one in so long! I used to watch it all the time whenever i had a cold as a kid

Goat

Watched it for the first time right now and that was a perfect experience. This movie made me grin, laugh and cry, haven't felt this great in a long time. What a ride

Balzhan

this is so unexpected! im glad you are watching ghibli movies! i recommend "the whisper of the heart" also by ghibli. it's a cute movie🌻

Betsy

Studio Ghibli movies are so good for the heart and soul. My Neighbor Totoro is a unforgettable classic. Love this movie. Ya'll would really love Ponyo. It's another cute wholesome one. 🥰

Ariuka Once

Yes! Akira and then Ghost in the shell!

acorns

castle in the sky!!!

corLeonis

Between Akira and Nausicaa? Hmmm tough one but I must say, Akira. You should watch Akira

Lily

I REALLY wanted to see "Castle in the Sky" but Totoro never disappoint me❤️ I love Akira and I want Gek to watch it oneday, but I think it's still too soon for them to handle🥹

I’m Tired

Y’all’s commentary this movie was so entertaining 😭

DAI

I was minus 2 yrs old back then I have no clue lol

DAI

For the context, "Totoro" was played in the theater WITH "Grave of the Fireflies" back then, bcz "Totoro" was a kid's show and was just too "simple" to be a individual movie. "Totoro" doesn't have a deeper meaning or anything like the other Gibri shows, it's just a feel good show. But can you imgine how ppl felt watching feels good Totoro and devestaing Grave of the Fireflies at the same time?

May Lin

Totoro is definitely a feel-good movie with a focus on childhood imagination and the way it’s lost as we progress towards adulthood. The way children cope with challenging time is through imaginary friends ☺️ I would recommend reacting to sword of strangers, blue eyed samurai, the girl who leapt through time, summer wars, and a few others :)

Lamyaa S

omg the boy and the beast is definitely a must! Sooo good

DaNi Son

Loved this movie soo much plus everyone's reaction. Honestly was sooo nostalgic rewatching. Here's some suggestions for movies you guys might enjoy: Hotarubi no Mori e (incredble movie i think), The Boy and the Beast, The girl who leapt through time, and In this corner of the world (a similar timeline/theme to Grave of Fireflies)

James

The same studio that made Dandadan is also making the new Ghost in the Shell series which is coming out in 2026. The 1995 movie which is considered to be the most philosophical anime ever made would be a good start into the franchise which spans 30 years through movies and tv series.

DAI

If you listen carefully, Mei said "O-Ja-Ma-Ta-Ku-Shi". Tadpoles are Otamajakushi in Japanese so Jack is right. She can't say it correctly bcz she is young lol

greyxwaren

random but i know y'all are huge basketball fans, have y’all seen the ONE PIECEXLakers short? it’s spoiler free ofc BUT LOOK AT MY GOAT https://x.com/cjdluffy/status/1895814190889320756?s=46

Ella May

I've liked some anime recs below, so to go with something different, I recommend Gone Girl. It's more in line with Parasite, with its unlikeable characters, but with less focus on class. I'm curious to see where you guys fall on that one.

DAI

Mckay, "the police hat" that kid in the beginning was wearing is the school hat. In Japan, kids are supposed to wear a school hat in kindergarten/elementary on the way to/from school. He doesn't have to wear it other occasions but I guess he likes to wear it on a daily basis.

TheSauceGuy

Carter, I imagine most/a ton of the budget for Invincible goes towards the voice actors/actresses. There are probably a bunch of other factors too, but I do wish the animation quality was prioritized more. I know the working conditions/expectations for animators in Japan are often pretty bad, but I'm unsure if that was the case in the 80's.

TheSauceGuy

he can't keep getting away with it

TheSauceGuy

Man, what a nostalgia trip

Ron Jackson Jr

Totoro the goat fr

Vallll

He’s my favorite director for animated movie. I hope they’ll watch his works someday.

Vallll

NO WAY

farkzzy

peak movie

april 🍏

What a wholesome surprise of a Ghibli drop 🥹

Matthew Valentine

Akira would be some peak

Eiden Porter

Perfect blue would be hilarious

celery

please ponyo i love ponyo

Ale

I love Ghibli and any movie you pick from the will be good, but I also want to recommend Satoshi Kon' work, Like Perfect Blue or Paprika. And if you guys ever feel in the mood for a mistery/suspense anime, he did Paranoia Agent, it's short, only 13 episodes, great for watch parties maybe.

Silvana Salinas

Akira or perfect blue are definitely a must watch!!

JAN NARUTO

The drop I didn’t know I needed

Alex

i really thought they would have reacted to those two movies by now after they reacted to Your Name :')

beannie

Idk if they’ve seen it already but, I would love to watch yall react to everything everywhere all at once!

Steve

Just a reminder that Weathering With You’ and ‘Suzume’ also exist. By Makoto Shinkai ( director of your name). I thought highly of Suzume particularly. The visuals are otherworldly

JackSparrow

Cant wait for nausicaa, castle in the sky, porco rosso and other studio ghibli movies. Akira and ghost in the shell also hype and such important watches but studio ghibli is just magic i hope they do all of em😍

Mysterious Figure

And since none of my votes ever win, Cannon I vote for you NOT to shave the beard because that is damn hot!

-

Breaking bad 🤬🤬🤬

TheSauceGuy

Is Cannon dying or something?

CoLdBITeR

If you guys want a feel good anime, "ranma 1/2" is just a fun time.

Emily

I vote for kiki's delivery service for next watch

TheSauceGuy

If you want a Ghibli film, I've heard mixed things about The Boy and the Heron, but divisive films can be fun. It also has Christian Bale as a VA, so...

𝒦𝓊𝓂𝒾

Omg, woke up to this😍what a pleasant surprise, thank you guys💗💗💗

TheSauceGuy

Ghost in the Shell

𝒦𝓊𝓂𝒾

Yess please

Mysterious Figure

1. Ghost in the shell 2. Akira These classics are two of the most influential anime films of all time, and their thought provoking philosophical themes are EXTREMELY relevant NOW! Carter, I am very disappointed we are still waiting for you guys to watch these. You promised. How long?

Maeverly

Totoro is such a classic feel-good movie. If you want another feel-good Ghibli movie definitely watch Ponyo!! One of my favorites and soooooo cute

McKay Carter

Your name was actually our first anime movie, if you check collections and movies you can find our reaction!

Kite

TheSauceGuy

This was the first Ghibli film I watched, and I haven't watched it in ~10+ years. Excited for the rewatch, but I don't think anything can top Princess Mononoke as my fav Ghibli film. I'd like to see how you guys rate them if you watch all of them.

TheSauceGuy

Princess Mononoke >. I need to watch more of them.

aubrey

wait omg you guys have watched so many already and i missed it... im tuning tf innnnnn!!!

aubrey

yessss ghibli movies finally!! my top three are howls moving castle, princess mononoke, and when marnie was there! with special mention of spirited away of course

Mell

Man that was a great feel good movie. Ghilbi movies always leave me with such a mystical vibe. Can't wait for the day you guys react to Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Castle in the Sky, Kiki's Delivery Service, Ponyo and others among their collection. Akira will be an interesting watch. Watched it once with a family member and I still don't know how to feel about that movie.

CoLdBITeR

The music playing during the rain scene really reminded me of Bubbles anime movie.

Jo

What a great surprise!! This was my favorite movie growing up, I'm so happy to see you loved it so much and that it brought you so much joy 🩷

Jude

youre in luck they already did react to it

I’m Tired

Omg I’ve never watched this one, how exciting!!!!

José Salguero

i think you guys would love akira, tho i personally would love to see a reaction to nausicaa. if yall want something a little more twisted i recomend perfect blue

Afro Samurai!

ShadowCat

YESSS! As someone whose first memory in life is watching this movie, I can say for certain it is a wonderful one to show kids early. And also one of my go to sick movies. It brings such warm wholesome feelings, it's a great pick me up. And my first tattoo ever were of the dust bunnies 😊

OneTeez90

Totoro ❤️ Thank you so much!!!

Romeo_is_alone

YES AKIRA

Redbone

i'll watch this after the oscars

bondbond53

'Perfect Blue' for the win!

rado

Nausicaa would be sick, super underrated film with amazing allegories to real world complications we deal with today. On the flip side Akira is the OG of OGs, that inspired James Cameron and Guillermo del Toro and the matrix. Super tough choice.

Kiyoh

"no overflow" killed me lmaoo

MADHOUSE

Wow, haven't seen this movie since I was around 8. Super nostalgic and wholesome of a movie. While I personally love Totoro, I feel it's a little too mild for you guys; that said, I'm glad you guys still checked it out. EDIT: Just finished the reaction, and I'm really glad you guys enjoyed it! I was wrong... "too mild" isn't a bad thing 😅 If you guys want a Ghibli movie more in line with Mononoke's theme (more dark and action), I highly recommend Nauscicaa. My goated Ghibli movie out of the collection. Castle in the Sky/Laputa is also really good.

psychotichonda

same!! that movie is a masterpiece

Mike

So glad you all are back to studio ghibli!

KatyRose

Let’s fucking gooooo

Watching this film might help you appreciate Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke even more. It features many gods—like the Lord of the Forest and Jizo—because in Japan, it is believed that spirits reside in all things, from nature to objects. Haku, for example, is the spirit of a river. Just as Mei, Satsuki, and their father showed their respect by greeting the great camphor tree, people in Japan honor these spirits. In Princess Mononoke, San fights fiercely to protect the Forest Spirit from humans who are destroying nature.From Japan with Love💕💕

Bievz

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind is peak ghibli lowkey

BeautyWillSaveTheWorld

This isn't an anime but I was wondering if you watched The Prince of Egypt. It's one of my favourite animated movies

Vanesa

I forgot to mention Perfect Blue that would be interesting.

Ashley K

Castle in the Sky next!

Denzel Mwandha

😂😂😂

Vanesa

Im just going to make some suggestions for things that I like 1.The twelve kingdoms 2. Sailor Moon 3. The Devil Lady ( tubi) 4. Heavy metal 2000 5. The last unicorn 6. Fire and Ice

James

The 1995 “Ghost in the Shell” movie is arguably the most philosophical anime in history and Carter would probably like that movie (he ranks Cyberpunk pretty high and that draws inspiration from the franchise). Studio Ghibli actually worked on the sequel Innocence which is visually stunning.
