There’s something about Studio Ghibli’s Water physics that I love

While it is a liquid, it tends to behave more gelatinously

It’s so beautiful while almost being awkward *bloop*

Gravity? Surface tension? No? Well, just let me hug her!!

Not even seeming to make skin or cloth wet

It looks so satisfyingly bouncy

Tell me what you guys think and what’s your fav movie thing about Ghibli

I remember hearing/seeing a post where Ghibli’s water always -looks- like how water -feels-.

Like when you’re crying it just feels like

Like Ghibli has that perfect look of water where yeah, it’s not exactly -realistic- but they capture the perfect feeling.

I love this and now I need to find a collection of gifs oh Ghibli hair. I love when it does the poof thing. None of this is realistic, but it is wonderfully emotive. Emotions usually feel more talk than physics anyways.

I think a big part of why they animate liquids this way is because this is how water feels like when you interact with it.

So when they animate water they exaggerate the size and stages it goes through.

You can see the tears pooling around the eyes and then falling much like how it feels when you start to cry.

When you are in swell like that pictured you can feel the individual waves brushing against you and the currents sweeping around.

After you step in a pool of water you can feel the wetness grip your foot and then pull away as the water drain off of it.

It’s a very tactile method of animating and is probably why it captures emotion so well.

happy birthday to the most iconic spongebob episode
