Ponyo was responsible for a book of Revelations sized disaster and the town is like “hey, it happens!”.
This isn’t important to the movie at all, but In the background of the scene where Sosuke and Ponyo are getting into the boat that Ponyo just mega sized, there’s this little octopus slinking it’s way into the unassuming Sosuke’s house that I found very funny for some reason. Anyway, even weaker tier Miyazaki is time well spent.
