Grave of the Fireflies has to be the goat
Kimi no Na wa runs it close though

I think you've already watched the most light hearted (Totoro) and the most intense (Fireflies) so the rest are pretty much in between. Ponyo and Kiki's Delivery Service are probably the least adult ones come to think of it.Are any on the more light hearted side? They all seem quite intense
I saw some screens of KDS a while back and thought it looked nice, so I might watch that one next!
Has a talking cat so hard to go wrong.
Sounds like my kind of thing then!
Then you'd love The Cat Returns, which has loads of talking cats.Sounds like my kind of thing then!
Is it sad? Do they die?
The Cat Returns isn't sad per se, but in fairness, it's probably one of the worst Ghibli films out there (not terrible by any means, mind, just not-so-good on the studio's spectrum — alongside Tales from Earthsea and a couple others), though you might enjoy it if you've seen Whisper of the Heart. And you'd struggle to find any fun or exceptionally light-hearted Ghibli movies considering they're made for PG-13 audiences, by and large — apart from maybe Ponyo, Totoro and Kiki. Even Pom Poko and Porco Rosso — which seem rather juvenile with pigs and raccoon dogs on the posters deal with heavier themes.
Has anyone seen Mary and the Witch's Flower? Will be interesting to see if Studio Ponoc can match the earlier quality.
Kiki's is a great coming of age story, my favourite Miyazaki movie actually, you should definitely watch it!
Your Name and A Silent Voice are top tier non-Ghibli anime films.
I liked Your Name a lot but I'm in love with A Silent Voice - watched it 5 times and read the manga.
Damn. I love Only Yesterday. The ending is something special.
I need to watch tortoro.
The first film by a Ghibli offshoot (Studio Ponoc) is showing in the Uk next week
By far the best animated movie I have ever seen. And I don't think that I had more tears in my eyes while watching a movie.
