From Press Start Article

Beginning in February, 21 Studio Ghibli films will receive a staggered release on Netflix, with all available by April. These films have notoriously been unavailable digitally until recently when they became available in the US on iTunes and VUDU and will later be available on HBO Max in the US. Australia is one of the countries lucky enough to receive the films with a comparatively cheap Netflix subscription.

Yes, I know this is advertising content for a paid streaming service but these films are quite expensive to purchase elsewhere and subscription services such Xbox Game Pass additions have been posted in the past as deals where the content was deemed to be an addition which held considerable value to consumers. Hopefully the same rules apply here.
The release schedule is as follows:

FEBRUARY 1ST

Castle in the Sky (1986)
My Neighbor Totoro (1988)
Kiki’s Delivery Service (1989)
Only Yesterday (1991)
Porco Rosso (1992)
Ocean Waves (1993)
Tales from Earthsea (2006)

MARCH 1ST

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984)
Princess Mononoke (1997)
My Neighbors the Yamadas (1999)
Spirited Away (2001)
The Cat Returns (2002)
Arrietty (2010)
The Tale of The Princess Kaguya (2013)

APRIL 1ST

Pom Poko (1994)
Whisper of the Heart (1995)
Howl’s Moving Castle (2004)
Ponyo (2008)
From Up on Poppy Hill (2011)
The Wind Rises (2013)
When Marnie Was There (2014)

      You don't need to comment to upvote. That skews it.

      I guess mods can do another public poll where you don't need to comment to vote (like the Xbox pass one)? For that one there were hardly any downvotes but when it went to poll a lot more appeared.

        You make a valid point, the +/- is skewed, it is not a valid poll.

        But why, when the facts are clearly in your favour, have hundreds of people bothered to vote? this is not normal.
        Clearly there is something exceptional here, that makes people willing to bend the rules.

          I don't necessarily think this is not a deal. Just needs to be worded like a deal. Crucial things like savings, price etc. are not clear even though it's mentioned in the comments a lot.

          Right now this post is just reads like an advert.

          OP States it in the description. "I know this is advertising content for a paid streaming service"….and I think that's exactly what it is.

      'Robotic in crowd'? At the time of writing this comment, from the 840 people who clicked on this deal, half of them, or 420, decided to click and give it an upvote. I think that's a pretty clear indication that the vast majority of people found value in the deal and saw it as such. If you don't see things that way then you are completely entitled to your opinion, but it's a bit naive to think that just because you don't agree with something it must be the work of some kind of deluded minority.

    This isn’t a deal - allowing such posts creates a ‘floodgates’ situation whereby any new non-original title added to a streaming service could be justified as being a ‘deal’ sufficient to be posted

    • mr_me450 on 20/01/2020 - 22:56
      +8

      And yet these types of deals have been posted in the past and the 'flood gates' remain shut. People are not stupid, they can decipher for themselves which additions to streaming services constitute enough value to warrant a post like this and which ones do not.

    • Hirolol on 01/02/2020 - 11:29

    OMG, settle down. I recently paid $400 to buy most of the Ghibli DVDs when the 20% off JB deal was posted on OzB.

    Had I seen this I would have saved $400. I pay for Netflix and didn't know Ghibli was coming. Thanks for posting. If you don't think it's a deal don't read the 300 comments and don't neg it, and move on. If you think it belongs somewhere else, you might be right but most people only read the home page where the bargains are.

    • wendellX on 21/01/2020 - 11:21

      And if you didn't buy the DVDs you wouldn't be able to watch the movies in the future once the deal Netflix has with the studio has expired. Ozbargain isn't a Netflix coming soon blog; these movies are easily discovered in Netflix's coming soon tab.

    A bit off topic but after watching Meitantei Conan (Detective Conan), this is a very good addition to Netflix. So I think its a deal because it adds value.

    People will vote with their votes to determine whether it's worthwhile anyway. Why make restrictive rules when things will filter themselves by the community reception anyway. It will just add more work for the admins/mods for no perceivable benefit.

    Technically not a bargain, although Ghibli films are amazing

  • zzyss on 21/01/2020 - 15:14

    This must've been quite the coup, because if I recall correctly Ghibli was distributed locally by Buena Vista Entertainment, who also had the rights to Disney. So that means the Disney Plus shakeup set these loose and allowed them to be snapped up by Netflix.

    Anyway, I'm happy. Finally get to catch a few of the ones I've missed over the years but couldn't justify spending the $$$ to buy.

    EDIT: and gave it a + vote to poo-poo the haters. These days OzBargain is as much a notification service for the good things in life as much as it is about actual bargains.

    For young kids I’ve found totoro (of course) , kikis delivery service, ponyo , the cat returns and porco rosso to be good. Of those , The cat returns is probably the favourite. Explaining the characters and story would never do it justice.. but just remember if you’re ever in trouble… Baron Humbert von Gikkingen is at your service.

      It isn't. It's just content added to a paid streaming service.

        Content which would otherwise cost you on average $30 per film with no other renting, streaming or digital purchase options available. Not all content is created equal; these films offer incredible high value as a Netflix streaming option compared to the limited alternative options available to view them legally.

    I just wanted to say my favourite one out of this set is Laputa and IMHO it is the best - before i give my reason for this neg.
    If there was a deal saying that the Ocean's, Expendables, X-men series will be on Netflix…. would it be a deal? Isn't it just a bonus in addition to what is already being paid for?

    • mr_me450 on 27/01/2020 - 20:43
      -2

      It's a deal because it offers value compared to other ways of viewing the same content. Not all films have equal value; Ocean's, Expendables and X-Men can all be bought or rented for next to nothing where Studio Ghibli films cannot. You cannot rent these films digitally, you cannot buy them digitally, you can only buy physical copies which cost around $30 and rarely come down in price. The deal highlights you can now get 21 such films for the cost of a Netflix subscription. That's a considerable saving over the alternative if you want to watch them legally in any way. If there's value and savings to be found then it's a deal, and I believe you're getting that here.

      • Fliedlice on 27/01/2020 - 22:07

        I guess because it’s 21 it’s actually really good value (tbh it saves me from getting them from elsewhere and I’m pretty glad about that).

      If you had to Google some of the most critically acclaimed and beloved animated films of the last 40 years and still just come away with the impression of them just being ‘kids cartoons’ then this deal is definitely not for you.

      How old are you billybob1978??
      Didn't know age had anything to do with appreciation of good movies. But then I'm likely much older than you😉

      The first film was released (in Japan) in 1984, with English dub versions around 1998.

      English dubbed versions have shown on SBS here for many years.
      SBS Movie Channel had free Studio Ghibli Movie Marathons every weekend in July last year.
      There was a free viewing on SBS today! - probably repeated at other times.

      They definitely aren't simple cartoons!
      Rather, crafted story telling.

      Apparently an acquired taste, not suited to billybob1978😀
