I have. Subs are geo-blocked. I'm in Spain and getting English subs is hit-or-miss. There being subs in a specifici language doesn't guarantee that everyone gets them around the world.
Thanks for the attitude, though.
YAAAASSSS
It's so difficult to watch these movies due to then being tied up in all manner of red tape, legislation and distribution that it simply puts you off even attempting to think about them. Thank god for Netflix for cutting right through that. Finally will be able to catch up on some of the more recent stuff.

I was just saying the same thing.....they damn near cut us out from everything in the US
Entitlement my arse.
Netflix and Prime gave HD and in some cases 4k as standard with the sub.
I pay more for my Now TV movie pass than Netflix. For the price I'm paying, I don't expect to pay £3 more for a "TV boost" to get the stream in HD. This is shoud be a standard feature.
Entitlement? Nah. I just don't like getting ripped off.
There's some licensing red tape around it as Sentai Filmworks got the tights to it.
Netflix don't give HD as standard (indeed, they don't even give 720p as standard, it's SD only). You're getting ripped off if you're paying more for a Now TV movie pass than Netflix, despite the fact Now TV should be more expensive as it has much much and newer content on it than Netflix does.
Damn. Streaming is going to be more expensive than old ass cable when all is said and done for people that want to have everything.
It's not really licensing red tape, so much that Ghibli doesn't actually control the rights to that film to begin with, as they were (and this greatly simplifying the situation, mind you) effectively a hired gun for the film's production company that controls all the rights to the property that it's based upon. It's not up to them how it gets licensed out, though GKIDS does own the theatrical rights to it in the US along with the rest of Ghibli catalog.
totally. Though I wouldn't call it interesting, more just super fucked up and infuriating lol
Since it's outside the US and assuming they don't redub it, I'm guessing we're getting the StudioCanal English dub of Arrietty (with Tom Holland and Saoirse Ronan)?
I'd be mad if we end up with the Disney dub.

100% this.
Fantastic news. Can't wait to rewatch the ones I've already seen and catch up on the ones I haven't.
This is pretty great news. I was really disappointed to find out that the gkids announcement last year was only for US & Canada.
personally I would have liked to be able to own digital copies for myself, but I won't complain as long as they are available on Netflix

Ocean Waves is good. It's better than Tales from Earthsea, unless you're <15 years old or something.
Interesting that no one mentioned Mononoke yet.
This. Is. Great. News.
My kid loves Totoro so can't wait to delve into the kid friendly stuff in here further :)

Only Yesterday is in my Top 3 Ghibli movies (along with Kiki & Mononoke) so if you haven't seen it yet, definitely give it a shot.
Well, as someone outside the US, who haven't watched any of these, this immediately has my attention.
If you had to start with one to see what it's all about, which one would you start with? I'm leaning towards Spirited Away" but I'm open to suggestions.
