Sometimes they arrive after much adventure. Sometimes arriving is a discovery. Sometimes it's not an end but the beginning of something. Sometimes it's a departure. They all look forward, taking us with them, into whatever awaits.

I hope someone gets this into the Internet Archive as a tidy ZIP so we don’t have to scrape them… I’ve just pushed https://github.com/rcarmo/python-fastapi-trmnl-server and these images are going to look great as part of the rotation.

Edit: someone apparently did - https://www.tumblr.com/three-thousand-worlds/169781667311/st...

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Spirited Away's image of a train moving through shallow water has always grabbed me.

I am in a position I suspect many would be envious of. I've never seen any of these films. My first experience waits ahead!

Where should I begin? I have kids in the 10-15 year old bracket if people think they'd make a good family experience.

I swap back and forth between favorit movies. Every few days it may be Goodfellas. Some days it is The Room. But I always return to Kiki’s delivery service and Howls moving castle. Both are absolutely gorgeous and incredibly well told.

I also find myself quoting porco rosso a lot lately.

This a treasure trove of gorgeous lockscreen images. Very excited to put them into rotation.

Few images I have looked at include the characters as well. When I watched "When Marine Was There" I loved the background stills and wanted to use them as wallpaper or something. The house with the lake looked otherworldly to me.

I don't know how to navigate this website and if it even contains the backgrounds only. Does it have those, are Ghibli movie backgrounds available anywhere else?

Well I just scraped the hell out of that. Some very pretty images. I know it is labor intensive, but they really put the effort into a massive amount of hand drawn frames for some of these movies and it shows in the final product.

I am not clicking on that link. Few stills of Grave of the Fireflies and I will have to place order for fresh tissue boxes.

I'm so glad that this is available so some cretin with TPUs can train the next culturally and morally compromised generative model.

Always happy to see stills from my favorite Ghibli film, "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind".
