[@KarenPuzzles]

What do you all think? Would you try these puzzles? I'm so happy this sponsorship worked out, because I honestly loved these puzzles so much 🥰

[@lilstich8402]

I really want these puzzles because I like puzzles but they are small and I want to solve a big puzzle and they are so cute

[@Sopherian]

I think they are absolutely beautiful! What an amazing quality too. Stunning!

[@PuzzlingwithOatcake]

Love the petite puzzles, might ad them to my wishlist

[@kasugaifox8571]

I'd really like to do them. I'm a big fan of these Ghibli films. If you have not seen them they are all worth a watch.

[@Annonymous5411]

I am not a bot. I was generally just trying to tell you about the multiplayer puzzle I saw from Ijustlovepuzzles on twitch. Don't want you to misunderstand. I don't know if you deleted my previous comment or not. It's called Jigsaw Exployer multiplay. Immediately thought of you and thought you would like it.

[@papaquonis]

It seems fitting that Studio Ghibli puzzles are both immensely satisfying and super high quality. Because of course they are.

[@shellyt556]

Miyazaki is a perfectionist. I think he would be pissed if the merchandise were bad for his movies as well

[@M_SC]

Fitting, heh heh

[@Blackadder75]

I am glad such things still exist and I made it a habit to always buy these kind of items when shopping for presents and boycotting the cheaper mainstream crap as much as possible

[@Shinnicakes]

I live in Japan and just wanted to comment that the stained glass puzzles have more than just Ghibli for those of you who want to try them. They have them for basically everything. Pokemon, Disney, anime and more. The Disney ones are sold under their own brand but I have put together a Stitch one, a Marie one and a Nightmare Before Christmas one. Not only have I done most of the Ghibli minis, but similar to the 1000 piece Totoro style - they have 300 to 500 piece versions if you don’t want one quite as big. I have also done a Sailor Moon one, an Eevee Evolution one and Nezuko from Kimetsu no Yaiba. I am not sure how readily available the others are in America, but a mini runs about 800yen and the 300 piece ones are around 2300 yen give or take (they often go on sale here though so I get them cheaper) All but Disney are sold under the brand ‘Ensky’ in Japanese. It might not be very English friendly, but they do have a website with all of them. Most of you may have saw in the video but just in case I did want to add the the Artboard Jigsaw (the plastic one) is made by Pintoo. So if you have ever done a Pintoo puzzle its the same pieces. Again, they have a variety of anime and Disney for this style. Also, even though they are Pintoo puzzles they are sold by Ensky in Japan. From what I can gather, Pintoo makes them and Japan distributes them. Pintoo also make ‘mame’ (bean) puzzles from a variety of anime, they are micro puzzles and only 150 pieces. Those run about 1200 yen and the artboard ones are typically in the 3500 yen range. The only thing I cannot confirm is if the Disney plastic canvas ones are Pintoo or not, I have seen them in the store but never looked too closely or done one myself. Hope this helps anyone who is interested in them ❤

[@LadyPelikan]

One of these is on my shopping list next time I go to Japan!!!

[@potatolover1160]

Where can I buy some if I go to Japan?

[@lolacorinne5384]

I’ve done three of the small (208 pieces) and I love them. The click when you attach the pieces is even exciting. I didn’t realize there was a 1000-piece puzzle, so that’s now on my list. Thank you, Karen!

[@divyanshrodney8322]

These are really high quality. They way the pieces snapped is so satisfying.

[@disaidra]

I was expecting to be shocked by the prices but for the quality you're getting they're really not that bad. Definitely a little more expensive than cardboard puzzles but that's to be expected. Definitely going to look in to getting some of the smaller ones.

[@raosei6496]

I just completed my own one thousand piece puzzle and I honestly thought it would take me ages but I followed your strategy of flipping the pieces all over and separating it by texture and it made it so much easier. So thank you from this amateur puzzler

[@KarenPuzzles]

Good job!

[@Blackadder75]

how would you ever complete it without flipping the pieces over first? that was like the very first lesson I got in kindergarten

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Let’s just say that this video is all about the textural chemistry. That coupled with Studio Ghibli characters and we have hit the jackpot.

[@arribatequila86]

Sponsored by Bandai Namco!! That's great to see my favorite puzzler being sponsored by one of my favorite companies. Hearing the puzzle snap was very Satisfying. "Prepare to puzzle!"

[@TarunoNafs]

My favourite Ghibli movie is Kaguya Hime Monogatari, breath-takingly beautiful work by Isao Takahata. The art style, the thoughtful digging into Japanese folklore and a modern, humanist interpretation of it, the music. A true Japanese artpiece, a gem. It took 13 years to made, and is Mr. Takahata's last work.

[@VicariousBrixtress]

So so so happy you’ve shared “stained glass” puzzles from Japan!!! FIVE years ago, I found a 1,000-piece Disney classics by Tenyo and it led me to your channel. I absolutely adore it and seeing you tape the ones you did to a window solved my oh-whatever-am-I-gonna-do-with-this-lovely-thing? Colour me SATISFYINGly content, Karen. You are, like Tina Turner sings, “Simply the best!” Happy Hawaiian Hugz!🧡 🌋 💛 🤙🏽 ❤️ 🌺 P.S. Oooh oooh oooh-can you *imagine* a gradient in translucent plastic?!?!?

[@aliceogorodny2914]

Never heard of Ghibli but the puzzles do look so satisfying to build.

[@xoluciaxo_3721]

Another really fun and pretty puzzle is the Ravensburger ‘The Four Seasons’. It looks like a traditional Japanese painting and it’s soo pretty and satisfying to make

[@Katie-vy5rd]

Yes, so beautiful, I have it and waiting for a special day to put together

[@michellerabey6637]

These puzzles are so beautiful - I bet they'd make amazing gifts too!

[@vessela7484]

I love Kiki's delivery service! Even named our cat Jiji ( he is JUST like his namesake )

[@sethusk]

Howl's Moving Castle is easily my favorite Ghibli movie. I find it very satisfying!

[@rayhk5551]

I was talking about this video to my roommate and they surprised me by buying me one of the 126 piece puzzles! You’re right - the click of the pieces is EXTREMELY satisfying!! Sending puzzle love from Wisconsin! 😊❤

[@ABramleyBee]

The looking sound SO satisfying! My favourite Ghibli film is Princess Mononoke. ❤

[@fryingpan552]

I actually went out and bought a couple of the smaller art crystal puzzles when you first mentioned them because they looked so satisfying. They were perfect for a small, self-contained activity for relieving my stress around the winter holidays! My favorite Studio Ghibli film is probably Howl's Moving Castle, so I was disappointed that it wasn't really represented in the puzzles I saw...but the other images are still very cute!!

[@fryingpan552]

The little paper theater kits are also really cute and fun to assemble!

[@bobair2]

Starting small and working up to large is the way in life to go as well in puzzles, thanks Karen this video has kicked off my Sunday!.

[@kazzerism]

Alright you've convinced me that I need these puzzles in my life! They look so incredibly satisfying! 😍 Edit: I ordered the 1000 piece along with a couple of the 126 and 208 piece ones. So excited to work on them!

[@miko7287]

Good thing with these is that you don’t have to start by flipping 1000 pieces, you’re good to go right away! So satisfying!

[@RaggedToothRat]

Wow, this is perfect timing. My 4th anniversary is coming up and the traditional gift is fruit or flowers. I've been struggling for weeks to find something I think my husband will enjoy. When I saw the first puzzle I immediately thought this is it! He loves puzzles and Studio Ghibli, and several of the ones you did today feature flowers prominently. It will be so satisfying seeing his face when he opens his present!

[@KlingonPrincess]

I love that you are following the yearly gifts in a creative way! Happy anniversary!

[@OddOzzy]

I've seen these before but i didn't expect them to hold together so well. I just wish whoever manufactured these made non Ghibli puzzles. I'm not an anime person and am not in to displaying fan stuff in my home but these look great and i would love some puzzles in this style that i would actually want to have displayed

[@alenaadler8242]

Same, after seeing this I went looking and only found Studio Ghibli and Disney, and a Sailor Moon. They are lovely, and I love Ghibli movies, but for my taste I think some Art Nouveau designs would be amazing... Maybe we'll see more options in Art Crystal puzzles in the future!

[@welldonebooks]

these are my dream puzzles. My Neighbor Totoro is one of my all-time favorite films.

[@Maggie-tr2kd]

I love that "snap" when you place a puzzle piece !!

[@ilylove1]

Loved these puzzles!! Kiki’s delivery service is my favorite studio Ghibli film! Loved seeing so many puzzles with Jiji (the cat) he’s so cute :)

[@SupPongo1]

Yes!! I've been waiting for you to solve Studio Ghibli puzzles! These puzzles are so beautiful 😍

[@heehoopeanut420]

I have one if these puzzles and they're AMAZING!! They snap together so tight it basically won't come undone unless you make it come undone.

[@paulasquitiere9460]

You're right on about satisfying and quality manufacturing of these acrylic puzzles. I ordered 3 puzzles direct from Japan and just finished a 1,000 pc'r. Loved it!

[@dozersmom22]

I don’t know what Studio Ghibli is, but omg are those puzzles cool! All the clicks when snapping the pieces together and the beautiful colors, especially on the 1000 piece…so SATISFYING to see it get put together and then placed in the window. Very cool concept. Thanks for sharing this, Karen!

[@EverythingTheorist]

Studio Ghibli is a studio from Japan that's made a bunch of animated movies! The puzzles show characters from those movies. And I agree, the snapping sounds are satisfying.

[@kasugaifox8571]

They also worked on a video game. Called "Ni no kuni Wrath of the White Wicth"

[@musiciseverything120]

You gotta watch the movies! They are just as beautiful as the puzzles. Very soothing and gorgeous to watch.

[@Ali-mv3jc]

​@@lazyhomebody1356 soot sprites?

[@Laedelas]

Aw yes I gave the "kiki's" puzzle to a friend, it was really fun to put together! I think I'm going to buy one for myself to hang in my office window!

[@miridium121]

This was so satisfying to watch! Everything, from the artwork to the quality of the puzzle pieces, just makes you smile!

[@kristinawelike]

That clicking noise is so satisfying! 😮 My favorite Ghibli movie is by far Spirited Away. If you haven’t seen that one, I highly recommend it 😊

[@justicierodelaliga]

Another comment regarding the quality of the puzzles. That´s Japan in general. They make unbelievable things, some extremely convenient and with high quality.

[@ZoidsNut]

I don't really do puzzles all that often, but I still love watching your videos because they're calm and relaxing. But watching these particular puzzles go together and then get hung on the windows...it's just so satisfying. To the point that I think I'm actually considering purposefully searching one out to make.

[@thecloudycats3778]

Okay the matching of the beat with the click at 5:05 was so satisfying

[@homelessxcat]

Yay! I’m so happy you finally tried these super satisfying puzzles! I’ve only done the mini ones and love them! I find myself going back to them again and again. I’ve been eyeing the bigger ones for awhile now…

[@kathleenwalker3205]

Satisfying. My daughter saw these and I have placed my order. We love them.

[@36993020]

Japanese products are always high quality. Kiki is my favourite as well, the scene in the bakery is so iconic!!!

[@pubsociology2945]

I’ve done some of the smaller Ghibli ones before and really enjoyed them. And a Ghibli puzzle of any sort is calming to put together, just because of the pictures! I’m really looking forward to seeing you work on the Ten Hundred puzzle when that comes out!

[@dianeamison-loring7204]

If you have an old fashioned light box, these would be incredible!

[@vcka]

Karen, I love your channel. pure happiness

[@TrullaDerBergzwerg]

I love the mini puzzles, so beautiful and cute. Also cool that you can display them so easily. I would totaly do these.

[@poephila]

I feel like the canvas puzzle would be perfect for Katie! 😄

[@9sheri9]

Love these! Def going to buy them, I love Ghibli. My cat, Jiji, is named after the Kiki's Delivery Service cat lol. She's watching these w/me rn, she rates these 4/4 paws

[@KarenPuzzles]

Love that!!

[@KazeNinja17]

Gotta say, it made me really happy to see that you were doing the Studio Ghibli puzzles for this video. I spent part of my Thanksgiving weekend with my niece last year solving two of the mini puzzles since my niece recently got into puzzle solving. These puzzles are really pretty and nice to have on display.

[@rosetorres8912]

I love the concept of these puzzles. I love the way they hold together and the look of stained glass. I am definitely going to try them. Thank you Karen

[@Ruddigore]

Those pieces snapping into place is sooooo satisfying.

[@WallinGaming]

Satisfying, indeed! I bought a couple of the small ones and the medium one a year or two ago, but never put them together. These are so much more beautiful than I realized! I might get more as gifts for my parents. ❤

[@sambeawesome]

omg these are so cute and beautiful!! Absolutely adding these to my to-buy list. Seems like such great gift ideas too!

[@hopegold883]

I had a Sunday schedule change, so I get to these a little earlier. So satisfying! I really can’t think of another channel where I’m in the middle of an activity, knowing the video is out, and I can’t wait to get home and watch it!

[@Victoria-qo6sd]

I have two of the tiny puzzles and it was super satisfying to make. They are really redoable as many times you want just for fun or to have a relax moment in your daily life.

[@essendossev362]

Those are absolutely stunning.

[@memyself3895]

I have no idea how or why KZbin sent me this video but I am so grateful they did. You bring an infectious joy to your content and KZbin needs more creators like you. As to these particular puzzles, I've already ordered two. I'm a big fan of Studio Ghibli but had no idea these puzzles existed, so many thanks for that. I am very happy to pay more for a product that emphasizes quality over price and that respects the spirit of the IP.

[@johnmobley9369]

I would love a studio Gibley puzzle that’s just beautiful landscapes seen in the movies. Maybe a iconic screen grab

[@Pkou]

Such a satisfying click/snap when they lock together.

[@shawnmariemann]

Your joy was so evident with this puzzles. Wonderful and satisfying video!

[@williamisnumberone9900]

These puzzles look amazing! ❤ looks like fun puzzles to complete!

[@aartadventure]

To display your puzzle on your low window sill, I suggest stacking a few books on top of each other, and then placing the jigsaw picture on top. Add a plant etc beside it for a cosy look and some greenery.

[@mamapoohbr]

So beautiful and satisfying! I love how they snap when the pieces come together.❤

[@ColorwaveCraftsCo]

🤯 a folding puzzle!? That’s genius! Love the stained glass effect ❤

[@amywest7093]

Pretty puzzles, and they look fairly cat proof too (for people that have kitties that enjoy puzzling as much as you do ) ☺️

[@Name-js5uq]

That was one of best videos you have ever done in my opinion, very satisfying to watch you do all those beautiful puzzles Karen. 😊

[@reneehebert6986]

I would just like to say how satisfying it was to see you having fun. I haven't done this brand of puzzle, but I have completed a Pintoo puzzle which I found very enjoyable. I hope you have more fun puzzling adventures in your future.

[@Jaaae00]

I’ve had these puzzles on my wishlist forever! Good to know they’re good quality

[@mirian03060]

I loved the mini puzzles. I have a little brother. He's 6 and he started to show interest in puzzles, like me. I bought him 2 48 piece puzzle and he is obsessed with it. I was worried that it'll be difficult to solve but he made both of them in less than 3 hours . I would love to have one each and solve them with him

[@xilebat]

Karen + Ghibli + innovative, quality puzzles = a very satisfying video. I wonder what they look like on top of a whitebox...

[@vcka]

ive never seen such wonderful puzzles. they got every single redeeming feature of a puzzle and put it in one. AND created a self-framing mega-satisfying post-puzzle activity. madness

[@auntiesash]

Ordered. Excited. Thanks Karen!!! Looks SO satisfying.

[@Dodl1]

They look soooooo satisfying! ❤ I love all the Studio Ghibli movies and would love to have all of these puzzles (the big Totoru one goes straight to my wishlist for the next celebration!🎉)

[@MrSKRZYNIU]

Crunchy and beautiful!

[@ribbontoast]

oh these are super cool! being able to hang them up or display them as like a canvas thing is really nice!

[@Zoutsteen]

Its are so satisfying to see the puzzles come together into a perfect fit.

[@jhwblender]

Those puzzles were so satisfying 😁 Your videos put me in a calm state of mind. Thank you for being you! 😊

[@LadyCynthiana]

Spirited Away is my all time favorite Ghibli movie. There are so many lovely ones. I have put together the Spirited Away mini puzzle and I found a little glass frame for it, too. I did not know they made a special frame for them!

[@josefinamrn]

loving the new angle shots, really translates the snapping pieces, as always a great video karen!

[@iamme7441]

Thanks for reviewing these! I never would have known these even existed but as soon as I saw them I thought they'd make a great present for my brother since he loves puzzles and Studio Ghibli movies. I gave him the 1000 piece Totoro Season's Tidings puzzle for Christmas and we put it together today. It was fun to make and looks beautiful. My brother loves that it looks like stained glass!

[@PowerurFun]

Those Acrylic snaps And the entire picture itself 😌💚!!!

[@jtcreates927]

Ah I'm so excited! I have some of those puzzles as well!! I'm glad that you enjoyed them! There's also Pintoo Showpiece Canvas! I built my own puzzle clock and displayed it. Love how functional it is! ☺️❤

[@veronica5896]

They look so stunning! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@dollfin5235]

Yay! Love it. Ponyo, Totoro and Kiki's, Howl's Moving Castle are my fav

[@GailMcCormick]

Ghibli movies are so satisfying! Some of my other favorites are Spirited Away, Castle in the Sky, and Howl's Moving Castle, but there are so many other good ones. I've tried a few of these plastic puzzles, but I definite have to be in the right mood for them.

[@Mewtho9]

Those puzzles looks so Satisfying

[@AnaRena1094]

I've always wanted the Totoro Puzzle. So, so glad that you have a vid about it now!

[@erinerinbobearin]

I’ve been waiting for this one!!!!

[@kimberlyfath7519]

Those are stunning puzzles - off to check them out.😊

[@PokhrajRoy.]

It’s so nice to see a video from you again. I hope you’re well.

[@Lohengrin1850]

Thank you for this video! I've seen these puzzles in stores for years but was skeptical. Now I'm absolutely going to buy one for myself! The website has so many more designs, as well. Can't wait!

[@smilegigles1]

It was super satisfying to see you working on these beautiful puzzles!! I'm definitely going to have to pick up some for myself because they are sooooooooooooooo pretty!!!!

[@jokebosveld2468]

I am so in love with these puzzles.. so beautiful.

[@ChageeyaSarang]

Oh my goodness. They have very good designs. They're all sectioned very well. I'm glad you had fun

[@CorinaBarker]

I love all of them! I watched the video with my hubby. He got a good clue about future gifts to me. Thanks and go and rest now.

[@taylorjart]

Yesss I love these puzzles, I've collected them for a few years now!

[@inaserene]

These puzzles are so gorgeous 🤩

[@Yume03]

Yupiii I was waiting for this one ❤❤❤!

[@papriica]

ahh im so glad you did these! i’d been eyeing them since i started watching, now i can safely purchase them ❤

[@ToDreamOfJade]

"Right now the puzzle has no edge" *Hank Green intensifies*

[@jemmah4723]

These are so fun and pretty. I love the snap and that they hold together so well.

[@Maria-tj3dp]

Thank you so much for the video!! I would definitely buy these puzzles! they look really fun and I love the artwork. They are lovely and so pretty!! I also really like Studio Ghibli so these puzzles are perfect!!❤❤
