Perhaps not the best Ghibli, but still my absolute favourite. It has got wonderful seaplanes and flying boats, air action, beautiful scenery and a flying pig. What is not to like?
Yeah, I don't know about my favorite, but it's on that gets unfairly forgotten. It's pretty wild; I love Miyazaki's worldbuilding here. I need to watch it again someday.
Well, it is the most lighthearted Miyazaki. It lacks most of his more serious themes of coming of age, respect for nature etc. This is just a fun story, so it is easy to dismiss it as 'just entertainment' I guess.

Television / Re: tv series with no story ar...
Last post by claws - Today at 03:13:54 AMI quit watching TV in the mid-2000s so I wouldn't know of any 2000s series with no story arc. I did ask AI and it gave me this:
1. Light-Hearted Action & Adventure
Burn Notice (2007–2013): While there is an overarching background mystery about why the protagonist was blacklisted as a spy, every single episode is a completely standalone "client of the week" rescue/fix-it mission. It channels the exact breezy, high-action, problem-of-the-week energy of 80s classics like The A-Team or The Fall Guy.
Leverage (2008–2012): Think of it as a modern, tech-savvy Mission: Impossible crew operating as modern-day Robin Hoods. They pull off an elaborate heist or con to rescue an everyday person from a corrupt villain in every episode. While the characters grow slightly over time, you can drop into almost any episode cold and enjoy the caper.
2. Detective & Procedural Mysteries
Monk (2006–2014): A brilliant eccentric detective solves a completely self-contained murder mystery every week. Aside from a very loose emotional baseline, continuity is practically non-existent—characters don't drastically change, and the status quo is strictly maintained.
Psych (2006–2014): A hyper-comedic spin on the classic detective formula where a slacker pretends to be a psychic to solve crimes with the police. It is fiercely episodic, focusing purely on 80s pop culture references, witty banter, and a standalone whodunit every week.
House, M.D. (2004–2012): Take a procedural cop show, strip away the badges, and put it in a hospital. Every week follows the exact same bulletproof formula: a patient falls mysteriously ill, House and his team throw out wild diagnostic theories, nearly kill the patient twice, and miraculously figure out the rare disease in the final ten minutes.
Classic Crime Procedurals (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, NCIS, Law & Order: SVU): The 2000s golden era of network procedurals built their entire empires on self-contained stories. You can turn on an episode of NCIS or CSI halfway through season 5 or season 9, watch a crime get investigated and solved in 42 minutes, and turn it off without ever needing to know what happened last week.

It is a shore leave related episode, after all.
Ugh. Did you really have to borrow one of Trevor's shirts for this shot? 😳😉😏🐢
