| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- What an amazing movie, it's a nice break from complicated, action oriented or fast-paced plots, this movie is so light hearted that it's pure joy watching it. Oh and the quality of the art and animation is just amazing, seriously some of the best I've seen, no less from Miyazaki. |

| As somewhat of a fan of Ghibli, I had expectations. Overall the movie was a nice watch but there were two points in which I got excruciatingly bored. When there were ten minutes left in the movie, I was ready to turn it off and didn't care about what was going to happen. Overall, I guess it was slightly disappointing. I wouldn't watch it again. I'll still give it a pretty high rating, though, because it went well together as a movie, the ending was precious, and it pulled at my heartstrings. |

| When the girls are sitting in that tree with the cat bus at the end and that violin starts playing, gets me every time. |

Calm down dudes, it's a father having a bath with his children, it's not Michael Jackson watching TV and eating Candy in his bed together with someone else's children. |

| "...our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone – has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash – together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions.” - Joseph Conrad ('Youth') |
| pretty great, though lacked the entirety of miyazaki's imagination. probably didn't help that i watched spirited away first, heh |
| Just watched it and I loved it. Totoro is very-very amusing)). |
 |
| Extremely charming movie. Totoro is really a weird creature. That cat as well is also pretty weird. A sweet tale of moving on, living in countryside and enjoying everyday's life with his family. The serious undertone toward the end really made it better. Animation was quite spectacular for this time, the clouds were really beautiful and quite realistic. Actually I didn't want this movie to end ;_; |
| omg is it just me or Kanta looked just like Seita from Grave of the fireflies O.o i was drinking some tea and almost choked when i saw him..i thought what the hell xD dash said: http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/4752/newbitmapimagem.jpg you tell me?i was watching this with my mom :\...somehow i didn't feel tense xD,i mean it's just a dad making bath with his girlls...right?:p i loved this..it's better than Spirited away perfect score from me :D |

| I held off on Totoro for awhile because it seemed too juvenile. Having finished it, I must say that this is one of the best childrens' films I've had to joy of watching... and it's not just for children. I especially love how Totoro, unlike many of Disney's features, picks a gentle pace and tells its story without having to bag a villain. To-toro to-to ro~ |
| This was a lot better than I'd expected. It does have that nostalgic factor, the music was endearing at times and the scenery is really gorgeous despite being a little dated. I actually liked it better than Princess Mononoke which was targeted at slightly older audience. However, I can not get myself to give it more than a 7 because it is after all, a movie for children, which kinda bugged me. If only I could travel back in time and give this to my young self; I'm sure it'd be something I would love at that age. |
 |
| I liked this, but even as a grown man I think I found Totoro himself a little terrifying. |
| This is one of the best Hayao Miyazaki's movies! "Tonari no Totoro" is just so amazing and kind tale... I was very happy when I have been watching this anime. Totoro is so kawaii ^___^ His smile is unforgettable! And what a wanderful graphics! Sugoi! Very good story, I love it! 10/10 |
| Sorry for my English ^^ |
| Somewhat sweet and enjoyable... Still a kids movie, though. |
 watching, waiting, commiserating |
| I watched it because it's one of those MUST WATCH things. I failed to appreciate it... AkiraSan said: This is one of the best Hayao Miyazaki's movies!

| Sorry for my English ^^ |
| I don't see the appeal. It wasn't very enthralling, and I didn't much like the characters, besides Totoro. It was worth watching though. |
| Watched it with my brother and both loved it!! So Totora is a creature you can only see while your young. Those who were lucky to see it had one fun trip |
| Totoro is still so cute. Even though he is scary, but I think he is so adorable. I like how this movie runs. The scenes with Totoro are so nice especially the Cat-Bus. Hope I can find like Totoro too. xD |

| This anime will never get old. |
 |
| Cat Bus FTW Totoro actually made me laugh out loud a few times. I didn't have high expectation other than it was a Ghibli film, but I loved it |
| I wanna ride the Cat-Bus and hug Totoro so badly T^T |
 |
| That was the most adorable movie I've ever seen. I thought Totoro was cute, although that cat bus.. a tad bit scary. |
| I understand nothing. |
| The first third was some of the most annoying anime I've ever watched. It did get better after the 30 minute mark, but still a 5/10. Just can't "feel" it. |
| Adorable and magical, just what I'd expect from Miyazaki-sensei. |
| I just finished watching it. It was cute and nice and all, but disappointing. It just seemed like an adventure kind of story, not really much of a primary conflict. 4/5 |
 |
| That kid (Mei) was so annoying. All her staff like I want Mama know, fck selfish kid. |

| Shitty movie. Not very memorable. 5/10 Overrated to hell and back |

| I've just watched it (finally). And it was well worth 1,5h of my nighttime. I won't call it overrated, but not a masterpiece either, just a great movie. Not for people who only like explosions, complex stories and fast paced action though, that's for sure. Also - I find Totoro unneeded for this movie. It didn't ruin it or anything but I enjoyed the parts without him much more. And I wouldn't complain if the whole movie was like that - just a normal family living a normal life. But yeah, the movie's great anyway. |

| it was good, not to great though, if i watched it when i was young i guess i probably would of liked it a whole lot more |
| This movie's amazing.And overrated?People barely even talk about this movie. Spirited Away is what's really overrated. On another note, what's with the sudden weabooness of the ghibli movie titles? |
