Never ceases to amaze me how Miyazaki is able to make such a complete, fully fledged adventure contained in one film. Most directors need at least a trilogy for that. The layers, the complexity... Perfection.
Also, no one talks about how Pazu is maybe the best male Studio Ghibli character and how him and Sheeta are the best pairing.
ALSO, that lightning scene... Wow, one of the most beautiful scenes from an anime that I've ever seen.
