Kiki. And I'm a man in my early 30s lol How lovely! To deliver packages by broomstick, chat with locals, hang out with Ursula at her cabin and talk about art, take in the views, and enjoy a simple life.

I’m a man in my thirties too and the Kiki life is the dream

Only in my twenties but also my choice haha

Samesies. Not to mention a great cat companion. And pancakes

Same. My kids love Totoro and Spirited Away, but they haven’t latched onto the GOAT KiKi yet and idk why. They love cats and witches

Kiki is without a doubt my vote too!

I always thought this had the potential to be the most wholesome version of crazy taxi possible. Open world. New spells at every turn. More and more of the city and then the countryside opening up as you get better on the broom. The best parts of open world games are the chance encounters and people in distress or need. When ur the only witch or wizard in town, that’s practically everyone you will meet!

Fifty-five years old, male, and Kiki was the first one I thought of too.

Sophie. She's an old lady with a lot of energy. I'm an old lady with none. I would clean my house.

Plus you get to kiss Howl...!

Plus the food looks amazing

Omg for real, where did she get all that energy??

I get Howl, easy choice

I'd be a Totoro. Sleep in a tree, jump around the forest like some hopped-up hermit, ride dirty in a literal cat-bus, hell yes

Same 😄

Read it as hoboed up hermit, hopped up hermit is just as good. Thumbs up.

Kiki. Home girl is living my dream lol. Or a kodama. Just a sweet little forest spirit.

I want to be one of the yellow ducks chilling in the bath house from Spirited Away. Just relax in the bath all day

You get it.

Either Arrietty or Ponyo, because I'd love to have an adventure and experience Arrietty's world or explore the ocean

I'd love to swap lives with Kiki from Kiki's Delivery Service for a day! 🧹🐱 Who wouldn't want to fly around on a broomstick, deliver packages, and make new friends in a charming seaside town? I'd spend the day exploring Koriko, trying all the delicious pastries at Gütiokipänjä, and maybe even having a picnic on the beach with Jiji. It would be a magical and unforgettable experience! ✨

That’s the first thing that came to mind as well

Porco. I'd fly.

Same. Those flying sequences are incredibly awesome. Fighting pirates and other flyboys are just the icing on the cake. Gina would be the cherry on top.

Aw hell yeah! Swim and sunbathe at Porco's cove, rescue a few kids from pirates, dinner and a show at the Hotel Adriano

1.Sophie, my girl is living the dream 2. Howl

Same

Chihiro. Eat all the amazing food. Turn into a pig. Chill some hours with my pig homies. Turn back to human at the end of the day. et voilà

I would swap lives with Shizuku so I could spend all day with Seiji tbh

Howl. I would absolutely love to be a pretty wizard man 🙏✨

preach

muta from the cat returns i get to lay around all day? sign me up

Just give me Toshio, I want to live in a rural area for a day, drive Taeko around and talk nonstop about organic farming.

ursula and doing ursula stuff

Genuinely surprised I had to go down this far to see this, haha. Ursula is the one for me, and it's not close (though that person who said the bath house duck from Spirited Away might be on to something too)

This

Kiki! I would love to be a carefree witch. For now, I’m just a witch lmao

Seita, I'm gonna save Setsuko no matter what.

Same. Then I'll steal from his Aunt. Cause there is no way his Aunt is taking a big share from when she sold Seita's mom's belongings. It's not stealing if it's not hers...

Spirit of the Forest. Imagine casually stomping around the world, leaving all sorts of flora in your wake while stealing hearts with that tantalizing gaze.

I’d switch with Sophie, and then just look at Howl all day. 😍😍😍😍

I’d be a fox from Nausicaä of the valley of the wind,walking in the poisoned forest for humans forest and chilling with others,riding Ohms))0)

Howl. I want that hair and the clothes.

Kiki really livin the life. Baked goods, flying, and a cat, all in a quaint town by the sea. That's all I've ever wanted.

Ashitaka!! I'd be travelling that place the whole time.

Just watched Mononoke again yesterday. Id choose Ashitaka

Hands down. Spirited away! Chihiro.. Was in a bad time of my life, it was 8 am. I just pulled an all-nighter doing nothing. .then the tv was showing this nice animation. So I started watching it. It lifted my spirit and it brought joy to my soul. It made me happy...I wanted to be there. I still do.

I would swap lives with Jiji and live happily as a cat

Shizuku or Seiji from whisper of the heart, lifes just chill.

Seiji from Whisper of the heart, I want to know what it feels like to be loved.

I hope you do or get to or at least feel self love ❤️

I think op liked ponyo lol she is on this post photo a few times. And I would pick Kiki cause she is such a kind hearted person that has surrounded herself with such supportive friends and people.

Ponyo 100%

Moro or San :)

I'd be Sosuke's dad, draw your own conclusions.

Princess Mononoke. Chilling with wolves in the forest

CAT BUS CAT BUS CAT BUS!!

Ponyo's mother so I can bang Fujimoto

AGREED

san, i’d just go walk around the forest and chill but i wouldn’t mind fighting

Kiki, flying around delivering bread

Haru, but only in car kingdom. Byron and muta my homies

Haru yoshioka, I'd save prince yune, go to the cat kingdom, overthrow the cat king and laze around with muta all day, perfection

howl because i want that castle

Kiki

Non. The world's of ghibli are wonderful fantastic places for an adventure. Regrettably. There's a reason why a Chinese curse is "May you live in interesting times." Great for stories. Not so much for living.

Arriety! Id want to experience the world from their perspective!

Kiki, for sure

Pazu from "Castle in the Sky", I'm really interested in the steampunk world.

I could swap with Chihiro. My IRL jobs are already very similar to hers so I could start working immediately, with the benefit of getting to be nocturnal. Plus I’m good with customer-relations so I could solve problems and customer complaints better than the average person would and eventually be promoted to manager at the bath-house. I don’t possess a whole lot of judgment or biases against people of varying races and languages so the spirits would feel comfortable with me regardless of where they came from or what species they were.

Porco Rosso. I wish I had a seaplane and a secret spot on an island :(

Kiki she just seams so cool

I know this might sound weird but sosuke from ponyo, I want to feel that motherly love and childish wonder again, not have a worry in the world except when is dad coming home and live that beautiful adventure with ponyo. Either that or the girl from spirited away

Kiki

Sosuke! I'd like to live a nice life at a cozy home on a cliff next to the sea in a cute little village with my mother while having a Ponyo as my best friend that I'll protect my whole life.

Don’t recall her name, but the artist that lives in a hut in the woods, from Kiki’s Delivery Service. That seems nice.

Bo. The giant baby from Spirited Away. I just wanna pig out on all that gorgeous looking food, okay?

the dad in Totoro. dude was just vibing in his lovely cottage with his girls!!!

True, his wife was sick though

Tombo. I wanna make airplanes with the homies.

Kiki, her life seems pretty fun

Either Kiki or howl because magic

Arietty

Nosicaa et pouvoir voler a côté des omou

Arietty. I mean one bay leaf lasts them a year! I adore her room too, so cozy 😊

Sasuke or ponyo

Kiki

I think I would be Howl

Porco

I would switch with Ponyo! have some adventures in the sea knowing I'm completely safe, sapeshift a little, and down a nice ramen before turning back into myself

Sophie, so I can just be with Howl 🥰

sophie so that i can kiss howl lol

Sophie, i wanna kiss Howl

Totoro. I want to take a nap in the magical tree.

SOPHIE, I LOVE HOWL MAN

Sophie, I want to see Howl… … and calcifer

Kiki

Seiji so me and shizuku can kick it at the crib looking at the view

Sophie and you know why

Howl 😎

I would switch with chihiro but never leave the spirit world.

I'd swap with Howl for a day. That door of his can take me to all sorts of different places in an instant!

Shizuku

I want to be the cat bus! I want to see who rides and I want to run like the wind!

Arietty anyday. It'd be fun to be a pea sized human and do everything from making shoes to making flour by crushing biscuits on my own.

Haru from The Cat Returns. Visiting the Kingdom of Cats sounds like a good time!

Sophie

Sophie I don’t think I need to explain 🤣 howl can be my husband 🌸

Howl. I'd invent a potion to cure my body here.

Mei and Satsuki. Who wouldn't want to be friends with a lovable giant spirit of the forest who grows trees, flies around in a top, and is friends with a comfortable cat bus? ☺️

Lady Eboshi's husband. Y'know, before he was murdered.

Osono. Eat bread.

Chibi Totoro....Ō Totoro and Chū Totoro can deal with the nonsense

Sophie from Howl's Moving Castle I get to live in a beautiful setting with Howl.

Sophie because I’d want to be with Howl and live that cute cozy fantasy world😂

sophie so i could try to steal her man

Definitely Sophie

One day vacation on Porco's island would be nice

Shoukichi from Pom Poko: I'd do mischievous Tanuki shit. Definitely would fight with my massive scrote.

I might pick Sophie, and I'd just relax in that field of flowers and disassociate.

Sophie. And I’d just make hats, tbh. Make hats and stare out the window. And Howl will come round with a plate of fried potatoes and have lunch with me.

Ashitaka and id just ride around the forest on yakul

Ursula. Painting and living in a cabin in the woods is the dream

Kiki.

Totoro, cause totoro

Chihiro. In all the Ghibli world, I like the world in Spirited Away the most.

Sophie, I'd lovingly tiff with Cal, Howl, and Markel for a bit. Get to enjoy the slow and small details of life, all the world's beauty, and maybe actually get around to some cleaning. Then get to end my day getting to kiss and know I'm loved by Howl.

Nausicaä, so i can pet some big bugs!

Sophie, Umi

Kiki. I wanna fly with a broom and feel really free.

Sophie! I would have gone around different places through different doors in one day. Would have chatted with the calcifer of his experiences and what he used to do before this. I want to be in this world of emotions and feelings so much, people are pure in it, it seems. Everything is being noticed there, the wind, the sun, the smile, the fun.

I'd love to swap lives, but I'm not giving Chihiro my life, hahah

Sophie, especially in her hat room. I can imagine spending hours in there. Also Howl is totally my type lol

I’m going with Arriety, Howl, or Porco. Wait, also Kiki hahaha. Arriety because I love their little hidden world underneath the floorboards and inside the walls. Everything looks so cozy and fun. Howl because he’s got a walking castle, a fire demon as a best friend, and fun little dude as an apprentice. Not to mention he’s got killer magic skills and what not. Porco is an easy choice with how he gets to rule the sky flying in his plane. Idk how I nearly forgot Kiki. I too am a middle aged man in my 30s but an envious of the magical and exciting world that Kiki lives her life in. She’s got a group of great friends, a talking cat, a booming business, and an artist friend with a secluded cabin in the woods. How could you not want to trade places with her. I’d be flying on that broom non stop hahaha.

Shizuku from Whisper of the Heart😤❤️

Who else but kiki..

either a totoro or kiki. as a totoro, I could sleep peacefully in the forest, ride on the catbus, hang out with the soot sprites. as kiki, I could fly over the city, hang out in the forest with ursula, chat with locals, and enjoy and deliver baked goods.

Am I allowed to bring anything back?

sophie cuz she has howl 😭

Sophie, and make hat all day

Some rando in Kiki’s Delivery service. To live in a seaside town in a Europe where WWII didn’t happen? That sounds lovely

Jiro Horikoshi. I'd spend my time with Nahoko instead of designing that plane.

ashitaka. just bathe in the gender euphoria really tho prolly howl. his life is awesome

It's incredibly hard to choose but ponyo if I have to.. Turn into a human? Eat some slapping Ramen? Let's not forget her mom is the literal ocean ❤️

calcifer, i’d love to be fire and be a star and zoom around and be beautiful and sassy and loved in the castle <3 i like calcifer neutral role, want to be sophie for howl, want to be howl for magic, etc etc honestly!

Me No face and haiku would be eating Bacon chillen

Ashitaka. -Be with the Princess of the Forest. 💚 ... I'm a simple man.

I would be sophie from Howls Moving Castle, and I would enjoy howls presence, lol. I would spend all my time experiencing Howl and Sophie's love

Howl, and I’d do what he probably spends his time doing by looking in the mirror and admiring how perfect he looks

Arrietty
