Studio Ghibli's Adaptation of Kikis Delivery Service Got Jijis Ending Wrong
Kiki's Delivery Service is a 1989 anime film by Studio Ghibli. In this classic Ghibli film, a young witch named Kiki leaves home for the first time, accompanied by her black cat Jiji. Together, the two go to the seaside town of Koriko and establish Kiki's job as a witch, beginning Kiki's namesake delivery service.
The movie wouldn't be complete without Jiji's sass and playfulness. However, halfway throughout the movie, Kiki loses her magic and Jiji can no longer speak the human language. Depending on whether fans watch the dubbed or subbed version depends on whether Jiji ever regains the ability to speak. However, this traditional ending in the Japanese version may not be as faithful to the source as fans think.
