▼ An adorable little Kiki, complete with cuddly companion cat Jiji.
▼ If this Porco Rosso told me we had to fly away in his WWI-era fighter plane, I would say yes in a heartbeat.

▼ Oh hey No-Face, what’s up? Nah, I don’t need any gold but thanks for—hey… No-Face, stay back! No-Face, sta—

▼ Seems like Kiki stayed in the delivery service for quite a few years.
▼ Sophie, your selfie is so moving! (Ba dum ch)

▼ Satsuki looks like she’s ready to go on a Totoro adventure, but Mei doesn’t seem so sure.

▼ Oh no, San’s back for more! I told you, I need both of my eyes!

▼ Kiki, have you ever considered working as a model instead of making deliveries?

▼ Seems like even when Arrietty is big, all that’s on her mind is still “borrowing” sugar cubes and giant pins.
▼ A lovely Totoro-inspired dress ensemble, complete with hiding susuwatari
▼ And the winner for creepiest cosplay goes to: Princess Mononoke’s kodama peeking around the forest. Are we even sure this is cosplay and they weren’t just all hanging around like this?
