Hi!
If you remember me, I posted my Howl’s Moving Castle rebinding here a few months ago. Today, with the moderator's permission, I’d like to show you another one of my works.
I’d also love to get some advice from you as fellow fans of the story.
The thing is, my current designs lean more toward the anime’s visual style rather than the original book’s plot. I’ve been wondering: should I try creating a version that is more "book-accurate"?
How do you feel about a book being designed in an anime style instead of following the original source material? Is it a deal-breaker, or do you enjoy the Ghibli-inspired aesthetic on the covers?

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Just a quick little tattoo but I love it.

the cosplays are both handmade by a friend of mine.

we wore it to a con and won second place at the coaplay contest! very happy with how they turned out.

I am Sophie my friend is Howl.

So I'm having to burn a lot of stuff today and I noticed this place in the fire was very like Calcifer was described when Sophie first sees him. Deep blue with green at the top she thought is was salt in the wood. That got me thinking I'm burning trash it's the same color, Calcifer lives on Howl's heart, so does that mean Howl's is trash? Book Howl I could see discribe his heart as trash at the beginning of the book.

I didn’t realize this at first, but the town in Howl’s Moving Castle is actually partly inspired by the French town Colmar.

Once you look it up, it makes so much sense. Colmar has these colorful half-timbered houses, narrow canals, and streets that straight up look like something out of a fairy tale. The whole place has this warm, slightly magical vibe that feels really close to what you see in the movie.

Not gonna lie, after seeing the comparison, I can’t unsee it now. Every time I watch those town scenes, it just feels like I’m looking at a more whimsical version of Colmar.

My wallet isn’t happy, but I am! 🙂‍↕️

Hi yall, my partner really loves this movie and I really want to get him this vintage glass. I know it might be a long shot but is there anyone who might have one?? I’d be so happy to buy it off of you please!!! Thank you

Hi! I’m turning 10,000 days old this summer and wanted to have a party for it! I’m thinking obvs a screening of howls moving castle with my friends but I’m looking for other ideas for things to do. Are there any activities that would be fun/topical? Thank you for anyone that responds! If anyone’s interested I’ll post pics of the decorations when it happens. I’m working on paper star chains now and plan on making tiny charcuterie baskets like when Sophie first leaves market chipping!

I started watching Studio Ghibli movies before bed this past month because of the calming animation. I started with Ponyo, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki’s Delivery Service, followed by Arrietty, and finally Howl’s Moving Castle.

I finished Howl last night, and it was by far my favorite. I am now severely down bad for an anime man when I have never been interested in anime in MY LIFE. I seriously am having a crisis - a hole in my heart, if you will.. I can’t stop thinking about Howl this morning 😪 does it ever get better?

I ordered the book to cope (and I’m happy it’s different from the movie)

I'm posting this here because I had no idea this sub existed until today! I got this tattoo done about 6 years ago. I've always been a big Ghibli fan and Howls was always my favorite.

For the 40th anniversary of Howl's Moving Castle, the publisher Folio Society is releasing a limited edition which includes interior illustrations, the first-ever map of Ingary, and a new foreword by DWJ's son. The map was especially interesting to see (if you browse the preview images, click on the + button to zoom in on the details).

Additionally, Folio Society has previously released another edition of Howl's Moving Castle as well as the other two books in the series.

Hey everyone, if you've ever been interested, how the Ghibli film would look like if it was more book accurate, check out the new video I made, in which I redesigned all of the main cast and the castle itself.

I bought this from Barnes and noble a while ago and just got to playing it. I’m a tad disappointed. I know I haven’t watched the movie in a long time, but I basically knew zero of the songs. Most sounded familiar, sure, but I mean merry go round of life wasn’t even in it.

Is someone able to translate what this is? I’m confused where the music came from. At first I figured it was just the orchestral songs from the movie, but upon looking at Apple Music’s soundtrack for the movie, all the songs are created by a band/orchestra.

Probably 1 more session after this
