My Neighbor Totoro is Studio Ghibli's worst movie (of the 7 or so that I've seen). Hearing those two little girls screeching is insufferable. If I were in a search party for the younger one at the end, I'd do a whole lot more partying than searching.
Respect to the iconic image of the older one standing at the bus stop in the rain, though. I like that. Including this grimdark version:

Which brings me to my next (maybe?) unpopular opinion: grimdark stuff is fun and cool. I don't care if I'm in a state of arrested development of 16-year-old beanjo whose favorite bands were Nine Inch Nails and Marylin Manson. I still vibe with Doom and its ridiculous monsters. Shit's fun. It doesn't have to be deep. If its opposite aesthetic, twee bubble-gum fluff is legit (which it is), so's dark shit. Inject it straight into muh veins.
I imagine it's the same way professional wrestling fans feel: no one takes it seriously, they just have fun with it, esp its kayfabe elements.
