Kiki's Delivery Service was the first anime I've ever seen!

This is my favorite Studio Ghibli film. I love the music, the scenery, the story line, and it is just a beautiful anime movie. It makes you appreciate the work and effort put into classical hand drawn movies. This was the first real Japanese anime movie or show that I've ever seen. This was when I started watching over the summer about 3 or 4 months ago. Then I rented more Hayao Miyazaki films like Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro. I didn't end up watching spirited away but I plan on watching it soon now that I am more into anime. Totoro was funny but there were some creepy moments. All Studio Ghibli films usually have a scary scene or enemy. In Totoro, it was the cat that looked like a bus. There wasn't a scary scene in Kiki's Delivery Service and that's why I liked it so much. That is also why I like slice of life anime shows.
