Coolest Ghibli characters?


I know everyone will have different definition of being "cool", but here are my top three:

1. Porco rosso (Being a pig does not remotely make him less cool!)
2. Nausicaa (Look at the way she fly her glider -- way cool!)
3. Haku (It's just hard not to feel cool about someone if he can transform into a dragon!)

What are your choices?

1. lupin3 (he is true real tuff and gentle and comical guy !)

2. Baron from The Cat Returns
3. Ashtaka from Princess Mononoke

Yes, I know there's an 'I' in the name of the guy mentioned in #3, but IMDb bleeps out his name!


I'm a Bonejangler.
I'm a Rumrunner.
I guess that makes me a Rumjangler!
...wait, what?

reply

Haha yeah thats funny as how it has s*** in the middle of his name and gets beeped out!

reply

1. Porco Rosso
2. Lord Yupa
3. Ash itaka (stupid censoring)
4. Makurokurosuke
5. Neko Basu

and although they are not ghibli characters, they appear in a ghibli film. Goemon and Jigen from Lupin.

"Coolest" is a measurement I haven't applied yet, but I've gotta say:

1. The Witch of the Waste in Howl. (Japanese only for now)
2. Porco Rosso (Japanese and French versions) (No dice on English version)
3. The Cat King in Neko (English and Japanese versions)

reply

1. Porco Rosso
2. Nausicaa
3. The Catbus or Totoro or Jeff (the dog in Kiki's Delivery Service)

I'd rather be a than a Fascist

reply

My prefered one is Shizuku (Whisper of the Heart).

After her, too many cool characters to choose from
(basically, the main characters of Miyazaki's movies:
Nausicaa, Mei, Kiki, Chihiro, Porco Roso, Sophie...
Totoro itself).
Among the secondary ones, I'd point to Markl
(the boy from Howl) and No-face (Chihiro)




reply

oh woowwww.....

Nauissica, from well, her movie
Lin from Spirited Away (sorry, i just LOVE her lines!)
and Fio, from this movie. Way, way cool.

I admire every character for their own qualities.I'll only name one from each Miyazaki movie that I've seen because there are so many that I wanna name.

My Neighbor Totoro...TOTORO!Okay,it's been a while since I've seen the movie but c'mon,it's Totoro man.He's just so huggable and caring like a good friend.Don't forget about the Chibi Totoros too.

Spirited Away...Chihiro.Yeah okay it's debatable but she's just a kid.She starts out as a brat but throughtout the movie,we see that she has just as much courage and kindness as Haku,Lin and all of her good friends in the Spirit World.

Howl's Moving Castle...Haru.He seems like a pretty boy but he's better than that.He's kind and confident and even with a terrible curse on him,he still manages to hold himself together and protect his family.

Princess Mononoke...San.She's tough,solitare and fierce.I feel bad that her parents abandoned her when they were being attacked by wolves.I can relate to her because she feels a bit lost about where she belongs in this world.

Kiki's Delivery Service...Kiki.I think that she's cute,so much better in the Jap version.She's independent but all around polite and friendly.Her flying makes her so spirited and confident.

Nausicaa:of the Valley of the Wind...Nausicaa.She's my all time favorite in this movie.I like how she's the "superheroine" of her time.It's amazing that she has lost so many people in her life yet she still stands strong for her people.Warrior Princesses rock!

Porco Russo...Fio.She's too damn cool.She's feisty and adventerous.Although she's probably the youngest main character,she can handle a "man's" job and still be a lady.You go Fio!

Castle in the Sky...can't choose between Pazu and Sheeta.Pazu is gentle,brave and eager to take on a challenge and Sheeta is sweet,innocent and loving.Together they have an amazing friendship/romance relationship that anyone can find irresistable.

Lucius Hunt: There are different types of love. -The Village

reply

Porco Rosso - He's an awesome character. He's a soul lost in a sea of pain. He has his pride and his charisma.

Totoro - What's there not to love?


Chihiro - She's so cool.

reply

Totoro, no doubt about it!

reply

Well, all of the characters he conjures are so cool!

1. Chihiro in Spirited Away because she is so brave!
2. Sophie in Howl's Moving Castle - because she is brave too!
3. Calcifer because even though he is a demon and tries to be mean, he really has a nice quality about him.
4. Howl as well, because he is brave in a way.
5. Totoro! Because he seems so nice, friendly and cuddley!
6. I must give the Soot Spirits a mention, however simple, they are very creative!

reply

Well, all of the characters he conjures are so cool!

1. Chihiro in Spirited Away because she is so brave! I think she is my ultimate favourite, becuase she relates to many people!
2. Sophie in Howl's Moving Castle - because she is brave morally too and very human!
3. Calcifer because even though he is a demon and tries to be mean, he really has a nice quality about him.
4. Howl as well, because he is brave in a way of moral!
5. Totoro! Because he seems so nice, friendly and cuddley!
6. I must give the Soot Spirits a mention, however simple, they are very creative! The ones in Spirited Away and My Nieghbour Totoro! Who ever wuld think of them?
7. Least of all I think it is because he doesn't relate to me at all is Prince Ashi-taka because he believes in does not really believe in a wrong and right, just Peace.

8.I don't really like to mention this film - Grave of the Fireflies because it is very haunting but I really like the two characters, Seita and his little sister.
