I like it too... one of my Japanese professors who isn't exactly a huge Miyazaki fan sometimes makes fun of me for liking it, but I think it's fun to watch and the character designs (particularly Totoro and his friends) are cute, and the bus stop scene is simply cuteness overload. The music is great too. I mean, sure it's defintitely not the most meaningful anime ever, but I think it's cute and fun to watch, that's all.
