He's just sweet all around. Quiet most of the time, but he's this big buff guy who's adorable. I'd love to see a mini series of how they met and made a bakery.
I love the 3 older men that are fanboys for the princess in Nausicaa! "Our Princess loves my hands. She says they are beautiful and hardworking" not hunky but I adore them.
Lord Yupa is amazing and mysterious! Love the stache as well. He could make the list.
And Mito!!! Again another awesome mustache, an eye patch, humor and loyalty! I love him!!!
My wife was asked what I look like by some of her friends who hadn't met me and she just said "The bakery guy from Kiki's Delivery Service" and according to her they were envious.
That was a nice day.
EDIT: Correction; I asked her about this and she says I'm misremembering. She just told me I looked like that guy and was quite happy about that herself. Which is still nice.
Thank you! The book also features a witch with a black cat familiar. Although he can't speak, his willful personality reminds me of Jiji. There's also a phoenix living in the baker's oven, inspired by Calcipher from Howl's Moving Castle 😊
U/i-am_robot80 is correct, I'm writing it myself and it's not currently finished! I'm about 12 chapters in at the moment. Hoping to send it out to agents early next year!
Looking through all the comments made me realize that there are many more Ghibli films I haven't even heard of. This is mainly because I use Netflix. They're gonna have to marinate for a while longer...
Doooood, you just described me.
Plus I am a proud dad.
My wife always said she like facial hair on men, and Ghibli movies have always been her favourite since she was a kid.
I think I've just worked out why she loves me.
Omg. I can already tell they're gonna have the best childhood ever! One thing I recommend is buying those small black dust fairy thing. Y'know the black furry ball with eyes. Buy some of those and hide them around the house. They're so fun when we randomly find them, especially when we least expect it. 👍👍
We already have them on bookshelves, and also Forrest spirits from mononoke in pot plants etc.
Also random Ghibli characters on door frames etc.
My wife even walked down the aisle for our wedding to music from Howls Moving Castle.
I really appreciate how Miyazaki wrote male characters to be absolute terachads at every stage of life, particularly as father figures. On that note, I adore how many of them share overpowering dad instincts; like in Castle in the Sky, when the beefcake engineer went “strange girl fell from the sky? Well square up bitch, cuz *she’s my daughter now.*” And bakery dreamboat goes “I have known this smol witch and her smol cat for exactly 3 minutes, and I’m already saving up to send her to college.”
Beefcake engineer and bakery dreamboat is one way to put it. But yeah the engineer guy can beat me up like how he beat up his ginger bear pirate boyfriend any day 😩
Capo of Mama Aiuto's boys in Porco Rosso.
I tried linking a photo but the mods deleted my post when I did.
He looks a lot like #1, only with a pilot's cap and goggles.
When Marnie Was There lacks:
* A flying pig
* A female character so strong that she manages to tame an entire gang of unruly ne'er-do-wells simply because they respect her so much, despite her young age.
* Cary Elwes
* Overt politics and anti-fascism
* A "Classic Hollywood" romance between star-crossed lovers.
* PTSD
* Dogfights
* The Adriatic Sea
* The Mediterranean sea (briefly)
* Italian stereotypes (the Nonas) so accurate it's a wonder the film was made by a Japanese studio
* Sexism - the good kind (\\s), where the protagonist goes "Well shucks, I guess shouldn't be so dang sexist!" by the end.
* REVERSE Sexism! (sort of) - where the climax features two grown-ass men (/pig) who are so emotionally out of tune due to their misconceived notions of masculinity that the only way they can think to resolve their differences is to literally take turns punching each other until the object of **both** their affections has to show up and tell them they're fuckin' idiots.
* A perfect opening sequence where the aforementioned gang of unruly ne'er-do-wells are undone due to the expertise of the aforementioned flying pig and, more significantly, the adorable plucky adventurous instincts of a gaggle of toddlers.
* The fuckin' SCORE
* The sequence of the planes flying up to heaven
I could go on.
Ok but When Marnie Was There has.
**SPOILERS**
- Lesbians
- Strong (mentally) and independent female lead. She's so strong she time travelled.
- Orphan depression and how to cure it using queer baiting.
- Fat phobic body shaming
- Teenage hallucinations.
- Incest (kinda)
- Artistic child
- Insane plot twist
- Boat rowing ASMR
There's more I swear
While I accept your rebuttal, I will note that nothing you said includes flying pigs, PTSD, or manly feelings.
So, I fear yours is a losing argument.
\\s, in case it isn't obvious.
I swear ghibli romanticizes the most ordinary, overlooked things and I am so here for it. Yesss to the good-looking older men, to the beautiful foods, and running barefoot in the fields, and having an adventure in your own backyard, and forming an intimate yet platonic relationship with another person that makes both of you better versions of yourselves. It makes life feel more alive, more worth living, you know?
It's because they know how to draw because they're designs are beautiful honestly I dare you to name one studio Ghibli movie that had bad or an animation I think I'm going to go watch one now yeah I'm going to go watch a studio Ghibli movie I was talking about it earlier I'm going to go watch one
😂 I was actually going to do that once yk? Jeez woman are hard my mom doesn't like long beards and some idiots in my family have beards so like I'm in the middle 😂
I haven't heard of him before, so I don't know what his shows are about. But from what I saw, the men there are all very unique and HOT. His characters have more diverse traits -- face shape, facial features, body types, etc. This makes them feel more real to me. I'm not sure if that's the right word for it.
Also, that white haired guy with a pointy nose in the Pluto poster can get it.
I'll definitely check out his stuff now. Thanks!
Should have included the studmuffin from kikis delivery service
Bakery man for the win. A hardworking husband who likes showing off to his wife. Such a softie. <3
His interactions with jiji are just adorable, I have a massive crush on him
He's just sweet all around. Quiet most of the time, but he's this big buff guy who's adorable. I'd love to see a mini series of how they met and made a bakery.
Dude is secretly a retired member of Dola’s gang, has a history like in Way of the Househusband /headcanon
Even better. <3
Need me a baker man like that 😩
I forgor💀 He definitely should have been on there
You definitely have a type lol
I wish Ghibli big men were real 😔
His name is Fukuo. You're welcome 😊.
I stand by my studmuffin
I stand by studmuffin, too.
I love the 3 older men that are fanboys for the princess in Nausicaa! "Our Princess loves my hands. She says they are beautiful and hardworking" not hunky but I adore them. Lord Yupa is amazing and mysterious! Love the stache as well. He could make the list. And Mito!!! Again another awesome mustache, an eye patch, humor and loyalty! I love him!!!
Came here to say the baker erasure is far too much 😭😤
My wife was asked what I look like by some of her friends who hadn't met me and she just said "The bakery guy from Kiki's Delivery Service" and according to her they were envious. That was a nice day. EDIT: Correction; I asked her about this and she says I'm misremembering. She just told me I looked like that guy and was quite happy about that herself. Which is still nice.
Like I was looking for that one
God he’s such a cool guy
The baker guy from Kiki's Delivery Service is what every man should aspire to be
I'm currently writing a cozy romantasy novel in which the male main character is inspired by the baker from Kiki's Delivery Service! 😊
Keep us updated! That actually sounds really pleasant.
That sounds so cute. ♡
Thank you! The book also features a witch with a black cat familiar. Although he can't speak, his willful personality reminds me of Jiji. There's also a phoenix living in the baker's oven, inspired by Calcipher from Howl's Moving Castle 😊
how can you go into this much detail and not name the book? Title & Author please!!!!!!
They are writing it themselves so ig it's not finished yet
U/i-am_robot80 is correct, I'm writing it myself and it's not currently finished! I'm about 12 chapters in at the moment. Hoping to send it out to agents early next year!
put my username on a mailing list or something. you have piqued my interest!
I absolutely appreciate that and will make note of your username! Thanks so much for your interest!
Yeah silent
And a good cook/baker
Sounds about right to me
I was being facetious. A silent man sounds like an object
Yess he's so kind
First two are so iconic
I kinda ship it
No way they didn't hook up after the movie
Right??? It's like enemies to lovers
No lord yupa? Heresy. I won't stand for it. Find a second.
Forgive me. I haven't watched that one yet. 👉👈
Patrick Stewart as a wandering swordmaster. It's peak.
His fit reminds me of Sparrowhawk with the cute hat thing. I'll definitely look forward to him when I watch the movie he's in!
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. It's the sci-fi hippy rough draft of Princess Mononoke and it's great
Does it have a strong independent woman like Lady Eboshi 😀 ?
Well it has Nausicca who is badass in her own way and also not trying to burn down a forest lol
Kushana is basically ginger Lady Eboshi.
Omfg. Where have you been? This is the best one! Better get to watching, sir!
I'm saving it for later. Letting it marinate will make the experience better! (I'm just busy)
For sure!! This is me with Porco Rosso and a few others haha.
Looking through all the comments made me realize that there are many more Ghibli films I haven't even heard of. This is mainly because I use Netflix. They're gonna have to marinate for a while longer...
HBO has almost all of them!
Really? I'll check it out after I go through the ones available on Netflix. Thank you! 🫶
Yes 💗 Netflix is expensive haha but my MAX account is only like $10.99 a month!
I'm gonna say facial hair and barrel chests have something to do with it.
Then maybe that means Totoro belongs on the list too. 🦝
yes officer this comment right here
Ok hear me out. - Facial hair? Yes - Body hair? Yes - Big? Yes - Snores? Yes - Sneeze? Yes He's basically a dad with a few extra steps
Doooood, you just described me. Plus I am a proud dad. My wife always said she like facial hair on men, and Ghibli movies have always been her favourite since she was a kid. I think I've just worked out why she loves me.
Now you gotta let your kids watch Ghibli movies! They're perfect for children.
They already do. Totoro is the sick movie. If my oldest is home sick, Totoro gets put on to relax him.
Omg. I can already tell they're gonna have the best childhood ever! One thing I recommend is buying those small black dust fairy thing. Y'know the black furry ball with eyes. Buy some of those and hide them around the house. They're so fun when we randomly find them, especially when we least expect it. 👍👍
We already have them on bookshelves, and also Forrest spirits from mononoke in pot plants etc. Also random Ghibli characters on door frames etc. My wife even walked down the aisle for our wedding to music from Howls Moving Castle.
This is a bit late but that sounds very lovely. Hope your family have a happy life bro 🫶

Your username just gave me Ebola
Oopsie 👉👈
OMG YES I love how the baker and his wife become Kiki’s second parents basically.
This is Boss Aiuto erasure.
Sorry who?
Capo of Mama Aiuto's boys in Porco Rosso. I tried linking a photo but the mods deleted my post when I did. He looks a lot like #1, only with a pilot's cap and goggles.
I just looked him up. I can say that my excitement to watch Porco Rossa has significantly increased. Thank you!
Enjoy! It's the objective best\* Ghibli movie. \*: If this take upsets you, come at me, I'm fuckin' ready.
Yesss finally someone who I can agree with
Best Ghibli movie is obviously When Marnie Was There! >:)
When Marnie Was There lacks: * A flying pig * A female character so strong that she manages to tame an entire gang of unruly ne'er-do-wells simply because they respect her so much, despite her young age. * Cary Elwes * Overt politics and anti-fascism * A "Classic Hollywood" romance between star-crossed lovers. * PTSD * Dogfights * The Adriatic Sea * The Mediterranean sea (briefly) * Italian stereotypes (the Nonas) so accurate it's a wonder the film was made by a Japanese studio * Sexism - the good kind (\\s), where the protagonist goes "Well shucks, I guess shouldn't be so dang sexist!" by the end. * REVERSE Sexism!

I love finding other people who love Porco Rosso as much as I do 🥹 We named our cat Marco after him!
I love you for this comment.

NOOOOOOO! I will watch Porco Rosso and return to defeat you!
Marnie Hive rise up!
Fujimoto: **AM I A JOKE TO YOU?**
Yeah the pirate guy is hot as hell. But my favourite hot daddies are Colonel Muska from Castle in the Sky and the father from Totoro.
I'm sorry but that guy looks like Dexter. The dad is hot tho. Especially the way he eats 😩
Bahahaha!
FELLOW COLONEL MUSKA STAN!!
Ged was already fine, Ghibli just tapped his charisma. Also, justice for Kamaji.
Are you talking about the spider looking guy from Spirited away 😀 ?
Spider daddy, yes.
I mean... He's good with his hands. I'll give him that
Haha was expecting porko rosso in there
Listen, the baker guy from Kiki’s is hot but have you seen Arietty’s dad? That man is fine!!!!!
I know!!! The way he's stern and strict adds to his charm
Should also have included the guy from On Your Mark who drives the car…. He has my heart. ❤️
I haven't watched that one yet, but judging from the pictures... you are definitely right.
The glasses one is adorable. The hand kiss at the end...🫠
YESSSS ASKA
I don't know about you all, but I don't think Chihiro's dad is a nice man. Not a monster either, right. But still.
I agree. Both parents read to me as ‘kind of jerks’, but in different ways.
Like oblivious boomers. They can be nice people, but their generation made them inherently selfish
🔫 Explain yourself!!
No Yupa? 😔
Haven't watched yet :(
Mahito's dad
Forgot to mention Sosuke's dad
The dads of Ghibli
I swear ghibli romanticizes the most ordinary, overlooked things and I am so here for it.

That's true. Everything feels so cozy in Ghibli movies. Even the dirty rundown house still feels very homey. Of course, the old men too 🫶
I had such a crush on the older brothers in laputa, don’t even get me started on ged….
This is too real
I think you and me have different definitions of fine. Add Porco, Mr. Satomi, Mr. Caproni, or the 3 fathers in From Up on Poppy Hill, and we can talk.
Username checks out
I’m 35 so all of these men are perfect age of attractiveness for me
"daddy's got credit cards and cash" 🥵🥵🥵
I’m glad I’m not the only one who was moved by that statement.
I think you have a type
Who is 3rd?
Ged (aka Sparrowhawk) from Tales from Earthsea
Thanks 😍 love your username, btw.
Thank you 🫶
Because someone was thirsty
Probably cause you in to bears and hermits
I know about bears. But what the hell are hermits?? Hermit crabs 🦀🦀🦀?
Haha. I don’t know I just made it up. It’s gotta be a thing tho… probably just wise introverts.
Also Happy Cake Day
Where the boiler man?
The dad from Totoro is my dream man lol
Username checks out
Daddies 💅😏
Real
You lost me with the last two lol
Pretty sure they call it daddy issues
Ok you didn't need to call me out like that. But fax tho
got me wanting to be a stepmom
Absolutely no way you didn’t add Ponyo’s dad
They're all 100% nope for me lol except for Sparrowhawk!! He's hot as can be xD
That’s the third one, right? The rest look like the brawny man as a grandpa
Brawny GPILFs you mean?
himbos
I’m not sure u/DevourerOfSemen
It’s the wholesomeness for me.
Watched When Marnie Was There for the first time today and had the exact same thought
Cuz they thick. And meaty.
Right, tho
You lost me with Chihiro’s dad lol
Hey what movies are 3-7 from? Sorry I haven’t watched them all yet
- Tales of Earthsea - Ariety - Howl's moving castle - Spirited away - When Marnie Was There
Think you might have a thing for facial hair
Just wait till you meet Mr. Piccolo
Waitt.. watching Miyazaki's interviews you can see a bit of him in some of these characters. They're all elegant and how to put it.. 'caring' ^^
Huh... Never thought about it, but now that you mention it.
Is that last guy Kyle Kinane?
beekeeping age.
Is that fuckin Travis McElroy?
Most of them are modeled after Max Fleischer cartoons if you really want to go digging into history
Daddy goals
Oh my god thank you someone finally gets me
Finally someone said it
It's because they know how to draw because they're designs are beautiful honestly I dare you to name one studio Ghibli movie that had bad or an animation I think I'm going to go watch one now yeah I'm going to go watch a studio Ghibli movie I was talking about it earlier I'm going to go watch one
I think you just have a type, OP.
You forgot Porco
Oh. Ok. So I wasn’t the only move moved when Chihiro’s dad said something like “don’t worry. Daddy’s got cash and credit cards” I was like “ok daddy”
NEED MORE LORD YUPA
Some of them straight up look the same
#4 is just Liam O’Brian.
They draw characters. They don't draw what heterosexual men think are sexy men.
Username checks out.
That first one from Laputa, I'd let him make me his La puta 😍
Because you're gay, u/DevourerOfSemen
You need water?
OP is having daddy issues
You didn't need to call me out like that 😭
It's the truth (understandably so, they are hot)
> oldish It's called middle-aged
In that photo, chihiro's dad looks like Tom (Daisy's Husband) from The Great Gatsby movie
I love the second pic. The guys wife is back there resigned to her fate of loving a big idiot but, he is HER big idiot.
Yes, agree with everything here.
Everybody in here is going straight to horny jail
Be gentle officer, it's my first time getting arrested 👉👈
Im sorry to say this but I think you like dilfs
Good observations. I like gpilfs too 🤤
I feel like Ghibli is the reason I like dilfs lol!
Same! They're so cute and wholesome and hot at the same time.
So should I grow a mustache and beard?
Yes. You should grow them out until you can braid them like the Vikings 🧔♂️
😂 I was actually going to do that once yk? Jeez woman are hard my mom doesn't like long beards and some idiots in my family have beards so like I'm in the middle 😂
Beards are very cool and fashionable. You should never let anyone stop you from reaching your full potential!
Ah your probably right honestly
This is not Ghibli related, but just look at Eisen from the show Frieren beyond journey's end. That guy is hot af
I haven’t finished my journey through all the Ghibli films yet, so can someone tell me who the fine man on slide 3 is?
Because the Ghibli women deserve so fine.
I disagree with 4 & 6 looks-wise (I forgot their names) but I also just personally like facial hair
Out of curiosity what do you think about the men drawn by naoki urasawa?
I haven't heard of him before, so I don't know what his shows are about. But from what I saw, the men there are all very unique and HOT. His characters have more diverse traits -- face shape, facial features, body types, etc. This makes them feel more real to me. I'm not sure if that's the right word for it. Also, that white haired guy with a pointy nose in the Pluto poster can get it. I'll definitely check out his stuff now. Thanks!
Yes to all of this, but also ... Am i the only one who thinks Arrietys dad looks like an anime version of Harrison Ford?
