You watched one Studio Ghibli film and it did something to you. The internet said watch all of them. That is not an answer, that is a shelf. This is the answer.
Twenty five films sit on that shelf, and the distance between the gentlest and the cruelest is enormous. Instead of a watch order, this is a set of branches: which film to see next depending on what the first one did to you, why each pick works, what might put you off, and one step outside the studio. It also explains the one film you should not watch second, and everyone recommends it second.
