While the series didn’t necessarily conjure up within me the same sense of awe and wonder that I attribute to Miyazaki’s works, it aims for and achieves similar levels of myth-making, world-building, character depth, and moral complexity. The term “Miyazaki-esque” doesn’t at all feel like an overstatement, here. So let me cut right to the chase: I was very impressed by this series. But good, worthwhile, and honorable culture can be in all places. Here I am, a man in his mid-thirties, singing the praises of a Nickelodeon series aimed squarely at 6 to 11-year-olds. I feel somewhat similarly when I talk about Avatar: The Last Airbender.

( Princess Mononoke arriving at The Ross was a supreme cause for celebration.) In order to watch the few Miyazaki films that were readily available - e.g., My Neighbor Totoro– I had to spend some time in the children’s section of my local video store - and I’m sure it looked odd to see a man in his late twenties wandering through the aisles of Pokémon and Power Rangers videos. And given that I was living in Lincoln, Nebraska, the chances of any of them ever making it to a local movie theatre were slim to none. I began exploring Hayao Miyazaki’s films long before any of them had been released on DVD. r/imaginarymaps Maps straight from your imagination!īoth professional maps and ones you draw yourself are welcome, as are fantasy maps.Note: This article contains spoilers.r/fantasymaps For those interested in fantasy inspired maps.r/loremasters For GM's creating lore, stories, and encounters for their RPG world.r/worldbuilding For creating things on a grand scale.r/minecraft For making Lego-ish worlds!.r/papertowns Specifically for detailed city maps.r/MapPorn For gorgeous maps in wallpaper sizes.r/maps For more awesome map related content!.r/gis For the technical side of cartography and geography.

Map making continues today, as we map other planets, the bottom of the seas, and continually produce high quality maps here that measure various aspects of culture, demographics, and geography. Maps have been around for centuries- they help us know what cultures were aware of in terms of their neighbors, other lands, and so on.
