Thank you to 
I have many collections really and my daughters describe me as a hoarder. I'm not going to show my craft book collection, my postcard collection, plastic ring collection, aluminium can tab collection or button collection. Unfortunately everything is scattered across boxes.
Today I'm going to tell you a bit about my collection of Studio Ghibli films. I have found that people are either acquainted or not acquainted with the films, Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata (who sadly died this year).
My interest started as a child when a Chilean channel showed the series Heidi dubbed to Spanish (of course). We watched the whole thing as a family and marvelled at the animation and learnt the song.
Years went passed and as my children grew up we began to notice games, anime, manga on the net and press and still sang the Heidi song .
Then a friend just in passing mentioned they'd seen Spirited Away. We ordered it online and the rest is 'history'. That must be well over 10 years ago. When a film is found or has come out I put it on my wish list and I get it :D
Many apologies for the 'not so great' photo. I wanted to show where it actually is (near the ironing board).
As I explained to
Incidentally, I have to confess that I have never been able to watch Grave of the Fireflies.
