These pictures come from the roof of the Ghibli Art Museum in Mitaka. Tickets are somewhat difficult to obtain because you have to reserve in advance, but luckily I recently befriended someone who lived in the city, and residents can get tickets anytime. At this point, I’ve got a grin on my face, and excitement running through my veins, knowing I’m getting into the museum of my favorite animation studio.
If you don’t know about this robot, it comes from the movie “Castle in the Sky” (天空の城ラピュタ). For anyone who hasn’t seen the movie and wants to, I won’t go into the details about the robot, but to see this 1:1 statue of it, the scenes of the movie just go through your mind. Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli know how to animate and convey a good message at the same time. So does Pixar, but I can’t compare both since they have different animation styles. I love both animation studios anyways.
