Studio Ghibli is one of the most famous animation Companies in Japan and probably to many other countries, especially for the anime fans. Studio Ghibli produced 17 movies, 12 short films (TV, Ghibli Museum, and OVA), 6 music videos, 13 commercials, and 11 other works that does not fall into any categories that I mentioned previously. But 2 new movies are coming out, which one in in July 2010!!!I'm not an anime fan, but I love Ghibli's work for it's art work, entertaining story lines, and plots for many movies and, for that reason, I've seen all of Ghibli's work that are made and I LOVE them all, but 3 of my favorites out of all Ghibli works are Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, and Grave of the Fireflies in this order.
Since I know that there was a museum, I decided to visit Ghibli Museum and I visited the museum so many times since I came to Japan! The museum is located in Mitaka and it's actually close to where I live now. Entry fee and souvenirs not expensive at all compared to other museum. Entry fee is 1,000 Yen but need to buy at least 1 week in advanced. (Ticket Information)
