      Looks like all the movies are already available. Just click any and scroll down past the images for links to the rest.

    • Not Boku no pico?

      My comment is ready for the wave of down votes.

    • I see you are a fellow swine of culture.

  • How you download them all šŸ˜­ file size

    No torro

    What's the difference between screen shoting the movies, compared to what's on the website?

    • A quality scan of the original artwork should be much better quality compared to a compressed, digitised, cropped, photographed still from the film.

      From comment on Reddit:

      1. Download this text file with all the image links: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18nVoeZLv4Hm15NvepamFEe2aCvSā€¦
      2. Create a new folder somewhere to store the images, then put the images.txt file inside that folder.
      3. Depending on your OS, do the following:

      * Windows: SHIFT + Right click on the new folder and click on Open PowerShell window here. In the powershell window, paste this command gc images.txt | % {iwr $_ -outf $(split-path $_ -leaf)} and press Enter to run it.
      * Mac or Linux (not tested): Open terminal and cd to that folder. Run the command wget -i images.txt.
      4. While it's running, you should see the image files appearing one by one in that folder until the command finishes.
      5. Done.

      • Working like a charm, someone should put this at the top in the OP as this question seems to be getting asked a lot :)

      • I can confirm that this works. Awesome stuff!

        While helpful, I can't say I trust a random Goggle drive acc.

        • +1

          whats the risk exposure there? we can see the file before we download it right? Its just a bunch of Ghibli url links

          • -5

            @creamandpaper: There is a good chance it's all fine.

            But general rule of thumb is never access any files you don't know who made it and where it's from. Even more so when you can get the content you need yourself without a 3rd party.

            • +3

              @vash5: I understand your caution, I'm sure it would have been called out on Reddit as well by now if it was a suss file.

              p.s. someone linked their rar file of all the images below so that may be a better option for you.

              • @snackerjoe: Thanks for info :)

                I'm just going to download them old school way as I don't necessarily want them all.

              • +7

                @snackerjoe: I would trust a rar file even less than a txt file where you can see contents before download then allows you to download the actual content yourself afterwards.

      • Thanks. Had to figure out what PowerShell was 1st, but like magic, it worked!

      • Thank you @snackerjoe

      • Mac OS doesn't have wget so you have to use bash loop.

        • Put the image links in text file. I named mine: list.txt
        • Open terminal, go to the directory containing list.txt file.
        • type in this command:

        while read line; do
        curl -O $line;
        done < list.txt

        Which would download all the images into the directory you're in.

        Edit: formatting

        • if anyone is curious, you can install wget with homebrew.

    • No torro, no torroā€¦

  • Could only see handfull on the page. How do you navigate to see full list?

    Anyone who's a fan should watch this:

    https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/ondemand/video/3004569/

    A legacy of hayao's work in production, and behind the scenes, and he's attrocious relationship with he's son who resents him.

    It's a long 4 hour watch, but definitely better then what's on TV.

    • Ohhh very cool! Nice find!

    Wind it rises is an absolute masterpiece of a film. I've watched all Ghibli movies and this is definitely one of my favourites. In my opinion, only missed out on an Oscar because it romanticises the engineer of the deadly Zero fighter planes which killed so many American soldiers. Though the movie certainly doesn't romanticise the deadly nature of the planes, but the beautiful design that goes into making such a fast and nimble machine.

    • I like that one, too
      from up on poppy hill is also good
      but Porco Rosso is my favorite! this kind of daredevil fairy tale :D

      • I wanna chillout on Porco's hideaway island and hooon around in his seaplane …. šŸ›«šŸ

      I thought it was average at best, full of Miyazaki hubris. It's clear he tried so hard to best the late Takahata's Pricess Kaguya, but it's obvious which director is more mature.

      Nicely done? You scrapped the site did you? :P

        Yeah sort of. Used jdownloader 2 which grabbed image urls and then sorted and removed the erroneous stuff.

    • Thank you.

    • Thank you so much!

  • plenty of favourites from them definitely, Only Yesterday is the one for me. such memories crammed beautifully into an animation. makes me want to go and live in Japan too.

    Really hope they do Mononoke!
    EDIT: Howl's would be great too, but prefer Mononoke first!

  • Hope they release howls moving castle.

    What is this?

  • Thanks OP! Great new wallpaper.

  • Very cool

    Classic movies - such quality!
    I went to the studio museum in Japan - SUPER COOL

    • Too bad they don't let you take photos. I wanted to go too. Back in 2009 they allowed photos

      • I went before 2009 and pictures were not permitted inside. Outside was fine.

    Can someone explain the love for Studio Ghibli stuff?

    I've seen "Spirited Away", which was ok I guess, and tried another, but I was just bored…..

    Are they supposed to be clever, or cutesy, or are they the Japanese version of Golden Age Disney?

    • +13

      Hard question….for a start you need to like animated productions - personally the old school drawing style of Ghibli (aka the driving force and man - Hayao Miyazaki) are the bees knees (2) slooow down - Japanese cinema IMHO overall (and esp Ghibli) is not (mostly) geared to frenetic productions ALA modern Hollywood - if you want frenetic constant screen action Ghibli is not for you (3) a touch of fantasy - if you don't like a hint of the supernatural (even the unusual?), then no (4) most Ghibli is character driven - ie it explores the principal character's makeup and reason for being the way they are, if this doesn't work for you then you won't like G. (5) This shouldn't apply with a G film but….was it dubbed and dubbed badly?
      Personally I feel G has become too much of a media darling (not that there isn't merit in the output, My Neighbor Totoro and Whisper of the Heart are 2 of my most fav films of any and all genres), I'd suggest you give animation involving Makoto Shinkai a try also, start with Voices of a Distant Star. Your Name invoked G like praise and success. His work, to me, is better than that of Studio G overall IMHO and his animation is sensational and more modern (Garden of Words is my personal fav but the pace is considered and the subject controversial). Finally IMO you need to realise that these are products of a different culture (ie not quasi USA, which we are).

    • +1

      I think it also depends on the age. I grew up with more Ghibli films than Disney so when I watch these films, it's nostalgic and reminds me of my childhood. You see it with more childlike wonder too and don't tend to think in-depth at that age. The soundtracks are also amazing. If you're looking for something more modern, I agree with the comment above mine; try Makoto Shinkai's works. I'd recommend starting off his older works (his newer works all have little references to his older works haha).

      • i will third this. Shinkai in my mind has surpassed Ghibli. And his animations are gorgeous.

      • You see it with more childlike wonder too and don't tend to think in-depth at that age

        I'm the opposite. I watched them all as adult and was blown away by how good they were. Modern movies are jammed full of CGI spaghetti and the same cliched crap stories, but these are on another level. The sound, the colours, the characters, the pace, the story telling is all top notch.

    • Can you explain the love for Golden Age Disney stuff?
      I find Disney films boring.

      • -1

        I think its very similar to what hero88 wrote above.

        Australian children would've generally grown up watching Disney stuff, so there's that nostalgia around it. It's true Disney have had a lot of "down" periods (there's some really good videos on youtube where people go through the different "ages" of Disney stuff, generally the early movies (remember Snow White was made in 1937) are rated very highly, and then again the stuff in the 90's like Aladdin and The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast etc.

        • -1

          Just wanna say the same to your opening comment, I find Disney films boring and Insane clown posse is terrible.

        • Australian children would've generally grown up watching Disney stuff, so there's that nostalgia around it.

          I grew up watching Disney, thought it was good at the time, then saw Ghibli as an adult and wondered how our movies can be so shit in comparison.

          It's like comparing McDonalds to fresh Sushi or a Kobe Steak. It's light years ahead in quality.

    Are free jpgs really a deal?

    In that case… let me refer you to my friend Youtube, or one of the trove of other sites not to be named in the family friendly confines of Ozbargain.

  • Runs a Spreadtrum Unisoc SC9863A, whatever that is.

  • Is the quality good enough to print poster size?

    • +5

      Probably not, but if you run them through https://bigjpg.com/ which is free up to a limit in free mode. You can scale those images up a large amount with very little perceived scaling artifacts and have something much more printable at large sizes.
      As an example I played around with scaling up a few 4x which produces a very clean looking 7680x4152 sized jpg.

  • Still don't forgive Hayao for what he said about his son's movie…

    • What did he say?

      • +1

        son movie, shit, it is

      • He said it was good that he made one movie, because now he can stop making movies altogether. He said of the movie that his son was still a child and not yet an adult.

  • Great find OP!

    Because some people have a hard-on for this stuff doesn't make it a deal

    • +2

      Well the stuff which gives you a hard-on would not be appropriate to put as a desktop/wallpaper anywhere…

    • Poor guyā€¦. the woke is real

    • You mean like posting a deal for a free exhibition that was already free?

  • Best film is Howl's Moving Castle imo, followed by Spirited Away and Grave of the Fireflies.

    Enjoyable: Kiki's Delivery Service, Arietty

    Good but overrated: Mononoke

    Really overrated: My Neighbor Totoro, Nausica, Laputa

    Bad: Ponyo, Tales from Earthsea, The Wind Rises

    My opinion of course. Another unpopular opinion: Goro is a hack.

  • What are people doing with the images?

  • +1

    Next few movies are up! http://www.ghibli.jp/info/013358/

  • I'll use these to start my own animation studio. I'll get people in India to create animations from these reference frames on Fiverr and then sell them on DVDs at the fleamarket.

    • My Flatemate Big-Tots
      Onya Ponya
      Kirra's Uber Side Hustle
      and everyone's favourite My Metho Spirits Got taken Away

      • My animations studio failed. I forgot to start it. I did pirate a copy of Toon Boom tho…

    Not sure if others were keeping track, but this one has been expanded on (1178 images total now). I used a sequential downloader to simplify the process of saving them en masse:

    • You mean like the anime concept of Concord?

  • +1

    Not sure whatā€™s the hype with these stuff and upvotes. Itā€™s like iā€™ve missed a memo for something (and a big one at that šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø)

    • I don't think the upvotes are for the pictures specifically, but this studio has made some amazing animated features. Pixar themselves has held them in high regard.

      Certainly worth a watch if you haven't seen them.

      • I see. Thanks for the explanation. I went through their movies list and weirdly enough havenā€™t seen any of theirs šŸ«£. Probably thats why am not familiar with any of this

    • It's a repost, one of OZBs new innovations. Possible it wouldn't have gotten as many votes if it were posted as a new post today.

  • +1

    I don't get this, arent these just still screen shots of the movies?

    • Yep that's what it looks like to me, 1080p still captures. Prepare for the downvotes…
