I have a good friend that spends a lot of time on Minecraft. He keeps trying to get me into it but I'm still resistant. The game seems interesting and I acknowledge that it retains its blocky and low-end retro look because of how expansive of a world you have to work with. However I just can't get the look of it past me, more of an idealized look I have in mind but still the same functionality is outside realistic practicality.
A lot of Minecraft players do seem to be anime fans, hence the Ghibli dedicated one. The MC forum even has tons of people creating and posting "skins" for their avatar to make them look like anime characters, or an anime-inspired design.

1. Awesome, but...
2. It's hard to recognize the highly detailed Ghibli worlds when converted to simple blocks. I only recognized parts of the video by the sheer "uniqueness" of the scene (ie: Howl's Moving Castle") or by the music. The scenes are still cool, especially if you realize how much work it would have taken to build them, but you lose that bonus of it being recognizable as a Ghibli world.
...
I won't say that this person had WAY too much time on their hands... that's almost a given with any serious Minecraft devotee, but I'm just saying, it'd be even more awesome if he/she or someone spent a little more time to put together a compilation reel of the actual Ghibli scenes so people can do a comparison, or even a side by side.

It looked pretty cool, given the fact it is made out of blocks.
Sort of similar to a picture of a LEGO "Ghibli World" I saw in a LEGO magazine.
I don't think my computer is even powerful enough to run Minecraft.
Anyways, yes the person has a lot of time on his hands, but is pretty darn creative.

I'm trying to stay far away from Minecraft, not because of the graphics, which I love the retroness of, but because it looks like an unholy time-sink...and this certainly must've been, although it's absolutely an incredible piece of work.

I know this guy who did the same exact thing in minecraft, and his username is Oz workshop as well... but he lives here, in California. Is this just a coincedence? Strange.

Nothing can escape the Minecraft. I found this video to me one of the more impressive works, they did a really good job with it.

Two words: ABSOLUTELY. AWESOME. PERIOD.
Now if only someone could rise to the challenge of making these into RPG Maker. This is seriously amazing!
