The only ghibli movie I ever watched is Spirited Way, stunning visuals and interesting story but kinda slow. Is that how they usually go?

You should try a few more.

  • Castle in the sky
  • Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
  • Grave of the fireflies (followed by My Neighbor Totoro as it was originally released as a double feature)

I'm not sure why Spirited away seems to be the go to Ghibli film (maybe it is less offensive) but it's probably one of my least favorites from the studio.

Nausicaä is the best one in my opinion but everyone treats it like one of the worst

It's about pacifism and respecting nature. So naturally it's politically polarizing to some people.

I totally agree with it being one of the best

All Ghibli films are about pacifism and respecting nature.

True, but some are more so than others. Like in spirited away. It's kinda more just hinted at and it's not central to the plot of the film. Which is why I think it's more popular of a film in countries that rely on war and exploitation.

Spirited away is more about over-consumption and modern greed I'd say.
