>>24722965Tove Jansson’s The Summer Book and her Moomin are pretty immense antecedents, but a bunch of Ghibli is simple fantasy too a la Le Guin’s Earthsea or The Hobbit. Strong female characters and slice of life brings in shit like My Antonia too
>>24723088>a bunch of Ghibli is simple fantasy too a la Le Guin’s EarthseaNo shit, most of them are based on fantasy books.
>>24723111just wanted to point out that your comment emanates very unghibli-like energy in a thread about literary equivalents of studio ghibli. also checked.
Claude Ponti's picture books
>>24722965Since we have this thread, what's the literary equivalent of Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind?
>>24723635Earthsea would be a good start
Diana Wynne Jones.>>24723779The manga. It's the best thing Miyazaki's done and equal with any of the western fantasy canon.
>>24722965Maybe you could read the books that inspired the movies. From the top of my mind: Howl's moving castle -> book with the same nameBoy and the heron -> How do you live? Ponyo -> The little mermaid Flying castle -> Gulliver's travels Tales from Earthsea -> Earthsea
>>24723779Maybe Dune? Anyways, why do you anons think she is called Nausicaa? Does it hold any relation to the character from The Odyssey?
>>24722965>Studio Ghiblaine
