if there is violence, i can justify it much more easily

# If you *want* violence then you're out of luck ...
Go rent a Mangled Video instead.

# well i'm all for well directed, etc movies.
i'm not really that big on violence, ordinarily. but i wouldn't be able to handle Kiki's delivery service no matter how well directed. i need something more which i have yet to identify. i guess a strong realism on the part of the main character, even if the situations/setting isn't realistic
ex: Cowboy Bebop. Spike is a very realistic character, even though practically everything else about the show is more
example: cowboy bebop. even though the show has a sci-fi setting, and some of the events are unrealistic, spike, and the other main characters are well grounded and believable.

# That's odd because I think Miyazaki makes some of the most realistic characters.
Kiki is just a normal girl (who happens to be a witch). She has to go off to a new town as part of her training and has to find her feet. She's at times optimistic and adventurous and at times scared and frightened.
The characters might not be as familiar to us as some genres but they are (I think) very realistic.

EDIT: I think Cowboy Beebop is great to (if you haven't got them, go get the soundtrack CDs - Yoko Kanno is fantastic).
