I think your average american moviegoer wouldnt mind listening to ambient noise if it helped them get immersed in the movie. I think kids could take that too as long as the action or the characters were engaging enough. I mean I remember seeing spirited away and my neighbor totaro when I was a we lad in the second grade. I enjoyed what little I saw of those movies. I mean I have vivid memories of the two little girls in totaro catching the soot/dust sprites in totaro.

It should be noted that GKIDS reissued CASTLE IN THE SKY with two versions of the Disney dub: one with the rescore and one with the original score; both have the original sound effects and dial out the extra dialogue. KIKI's dub, too, has been modified to feature the original SFX, music, etc., and dials out Hartman's lines.

"Sounds makes up 1/3 of cinema. The other 2/3 are what we see and how we feel ." Damn dude, that was profound.

One of the most comforting sound for me is actually a hammer slamming metal in the distance because I associate it so much with Iron Town.

this video was a bold departure from all of your usual techniques, and easily ranks as one of the best video essays ever. i appreciate that you realized how your methodology for sound design, clip editing, and music in your videos would not pair well with ghibli films and opted to do a complete 180, with no added music or your comic book-esque stylized transitions. that isn't to say that the edits in this video weren't impressive; they're even more impressive because they are outside of that purview of what constitutes a video of yours and manage to be as effective. happy to see you back, kap.

It's disconcerting how much media in and outside of anime has no sound design to speak of.
