'Are Studio Ghibli films on par with Disney?'...
DEFINITELY

My Neighbor Totoro is a magical experience, made by the legendary studio Ghibli in 1988, where your imagination will drive you to insane places.

We embark on a stunning adventure with two girls, Satsuki and Mei, as they move to the vast and wonderful countryside.
However, little do they know the mysterious secrets and wonders it beholds...

The animation and the sound is quite simply stunning, and makes you feel as if you were there! It's so detailed, on par with many of the modern anime nowadays.

Totoro brought back many childhood memories for me, and will certainly put a big smile ... on your face at the end!

When I was in middle school, we started learning about the second world war in English. The book we studied was the manga, 'Barefoot Gen'

We only managed to cover 1 volume, but I found the story very enticing and intriguing.

The artwork on this book is very detailed for a very old manga and also, there is some comedy, which kept my classmates drawn in throughout the story.

You will definitely feel different emotions, especially at the end of the book, where a tragic incident occurs, just like the nuke that landed on Japan, bringing war to an end.

For newcomers to anime and for the younger audience, Naruto is a great anime to kickstart your journey.

However, as with many long-running anime, the fillers are absolute garbage. I would have rated it higher, if it stopped after 135.

Also, there were only moments of memorable magic, with the rest being quite forgetable.

My favourite part of the story is Naruto's upbringing and his will to fight. I thought that was quite inspiring.
