"default" pop culture phenomena first order: why ghibli? what about it created such stickiness? local memetic origins? second order: what about the ghibli motif has such emotional resonance? why do we see ourselves in it? identify with it so strongly? third order: human experience as the root of emotional and memetic resonance. why is ghibli regarded as so "human" even amongst its craft? how does even its imitation feel so... intimate? why does it retain its "je ne sais quoi" despite intense analysis and scrutiny? fourth order: ghibli studios is retired, so what is the future of the "indescribably relatable"?

Uncertain. I would be curious to study the relationship between the perceived friendliness of Japanese pop culture icons as shared vocabulary as we investigate advanced (perceived unfriendly) technologies en masse.
