@sgrella there was a #GhibliBracket

@sbarolo Thanks Scott for migrating over one of my favorite Birdsite diversions! #GhibliBracket

#GhibliBracket results:

in 1st place, with an incredible 91 out of 92 possible points, is @JuliePosselt 🥇, who donated to the Pilgrim School https://www.pilgrim-school.org

Check out Julie's books on equity in STEM & graduate admissions—I'm a fan.

Congratulations Julie! Thanks to everyone for playing along!

The losing movies all still exist, & in the US almost all are on HBO Max.

Those who pledged to donate to one of the top bracketeers' charities: please do! They're all in this thread.

Spirited Away vs. Princess Mononoke?

To me, Princess Mononoke is a masterpiece. Nausicaä too.
#GhibliBracket

@reginasbread @sbarolo Wow.... these results?!

The fact that Nausicaä and Kiki's aren't in the top 2 shows this was rigged from the start. 😭

Edit* Spirited away beat GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES?! are ya'll crazy!? By a landslide?!

#GhibliBracket

I can't take this Howl's Moving Castle slander in @sbarolo #GhibliBracket 🫣

I was hoping Howl’s Moving Castle would make it to the top, but this is not too shabby. Princess Mononoke is not half bad, either. #GhibliBracket
