Studio Ghibli
STUDIO GHIBLI: INTRODUCTION
The greatest mainstream animation studio of our generation, headed by the greatest animator of our time, Hayao Miyazaki.
Has consistently produced works that all uphold the studio's foundation of creative artistry and story-telling.
Unfortunately, it is shadowed by the American powerhouses Pixar/Disney, who have mastered the art of creating family-friendly films and entertainment, but nonetheless lack an emotional/narrative appeal.
________________________________________________
FOCUS ON ART/NARRATIVE, NOT MASS-APPEAL
Studio Ghibli is dedicated purely to the arts and narrative behind each story. It is known for its sentimental appeal and beautiful traditional animation, not focusing on entertainment.
________________________________________________
WHERE HAS THE MAGIC GONE....
Studio Ghibli can only be summed up as the place where the only real bit of magic has moved, after the downfall of the "magic" of Disney into the 2000's.
The magic of a pencil, not a computer, the beauty of a well-crafted story, and the sacredness of art above mass-appeal, this is what Studio Ghibli believes in.

Ghibiline
A ghibiline is someone who butts into a situation in which they have no business, or someone that hangs out in a place where they are not wanted, snooping around, usually in order to obtain information; either for their own satisfaction or to report it back to a third party or authority figure.
Me: "I cant believe Dave actually showed up here again, he was asking me all kinds of questions about where you live now, what your phone number is, and if you have a new boyfriend."
You: "What a ghibiline!"
You: "What a ghibiline!"

Ratfucker
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
