Studio Ghibli’s Prettiest Female Characters
Oct
Ghibli’s female cartoon characters are always loved by audiences of all ages. Mr. Hayao Miyazaki, one of the founders of Ghibli once said: “Strong heroines – brave, independent girls who do not hesitate to fight for what they believe in with all their heart. They may need a friend or a supporter, but never a savior. Any woman has the same ability to become a hero as any man “. Studio Ghibli has always adhered to that principle. From very simple and mundane things, the studio has produced films that portray the most wonderful women. It is not like that if you have daughters, show them Ghibli to become more confident and self-loving; If there are boys, show them Ghibli to respect and sympathize with women. Let’s take a look at the most popular Ghibli female characters.
Nausicaa – Nausicaa of the valley of the wind
Nausicaa of the valley of the wind is an apocalyptic fantasy adventure film. The scene takes place 1000 years later when a poisonous forest full of giant insects begins to surround the world threatening human existence.
The plot revolves around Nausicaa, the young princess of the Valley of the Wind – who can communicate with insects in the poisonous forest. She wishes humans can coexist and coexist with these insects, but others do not think so. They plan to awaken a giant sleeping warrior to destroy the forest, and Nausicaa is determined to stop it.
Nausicaa always believes that nature exists for a reason, she goes against everyone’s opinion, and she protects poisonous insects because “they don’t do anything wrong”. Nausicaa believes that the only way man exists is to live in harmony with nature, and to do that, man must learn to trust each other. Nausicaa has conveyed a message that the spirit of leadership lies within each person, only perseverance needs to nurture courage in a sincere heart.
Haru (The Cat Returns)
Haru from The Cat Returns possesses one magical power: she can talk to cats. That connection is, in part, what results in her stumbling down a rabbit hole, like Wonderland’s Alice. Before then, Haru’s first major action in The Cat Returns is saving a cat from anime’s greatest serial killer: a truck. From there, she’s gradually transformed into one herself.
There are several Ghibli heroines who are tossed down the rabbit hole — Chihiro from Spirited Away being a noteworthy example — but few just take all the wildness in their stride as Haru does. There’s something really charming about her and her adventure because of it.
Chihiro (Spirited Away)
The message of the movie is clearly shown through the image of Chihiro: a shy, reliant girl. Chihiro has become a brave, independent person. She is ready to deal with all difficulties to rescue the loved ones most. Accompanying her is the courageous and kind sister Lin. Chihiro bravely overcame all the difficulties during his journey to the land of spirits. Lin is a kind sister who has helped her.
Shizuku (Whisper Of The Heart)
The main heroine – 15 years old girl Shizuku appeared calm and simple. Enthusiastic, passionate about reading, plus a bit of daydreaming true to her age, Shizuku realized an accident between herself and the name “Amasawa Seiji” – who was always on the loan card of the books she took home from the library. The film brought two people together by very cute and sweet coincidence, in a story that is both real and virtual, subtly intertwined and very natural.
The way Shizuku “made up the lyrics” for Take Me Home, Country Road; Dumbfounded, she chased after a strange cat that caught herself on the train; to be a military master for the love story of her best friend … very close and familiar. Perhaps that is the reason why Shizuku achieved number 4 in Ghibli’s most popular female characters ranking
