Read the manga. Its the absolute opposite of preachy and idealistic.

>>137122714
How the hell is idealistic a downside?

>>137123822
Is there much of a difference? Same story, same writer. I cant see why anyone would feel the need to change much between the two, plenty of darker anime/manga were hit films.

>>137123962
>How the hell is idealistic a downside?
You dont hate the scenes where a character screams about how terible killing/violence is, and just ends the fight there as a result, and problems get solved without additional deaths?
It's "if you kill him, you would be as bad as him" tier.

>>137124147
Not really. I don't get mad about the "if you kill him, you would be as bad as him" shit, either, because I'm not an autist who gets mad when fictional standards aren't the same as reality's.

I just want a goddamn war story not a stupid girl and her baby hermit crab.

>>137124212
>'m not an autist who gets mad when fictional standards aren't the same as reality's.
Then they shoudlnt be trying to deal with realistic things like pollution of the environment.
Fuck in general it's bad because if they arent realistic they are generally shallow characters. You want a character who is realistic because they are more human and relatable, especially important if you want to deliver certain messages.

You could make 15 movies with what the manga covered. The themes also change significantly.

It becomes less about conservation/respecting nature and more about how humans should change for the better in the face of annihilation.

The film was a shit adaptation, and if not for its incredible animation for its time and great score it shouldn't be considered one of Ghibli's best.

>>137124419
>for its time
This was like two years before Akira, it's not as if anime movie animation has ascended to a new plane of existence since then.

>>137124419
How does the man who wrote it, become director of the anime and then butcher it then?

My only answer would be he felt the message wasnt clearn enough in the manga and decided to turn up the preaching in the anime. Assuming the manga script was written first.

I will give the manga a shot, I did like the animation and the muisc. Hell I liked parts of the setting, the toxic forest being so pretty. But the cast is what killed it for me.

Porco Rosso was the best Ghibli film tbqhmfam

>>137124619
You realize he wrote the manga for two years before the film, and then for 10 years afterwards right?

He took what he had and the general idea of what was going to happen and squished it into a film as best he could. Unfortunately, compared to the rest of what he wrote later it ended up being shit.

>>137124619
Like he said, the manga's simply too much for a single movie adaptation.

Later Gainax were better and more creative than early Gainax. Diebuster > Gunbuster. FLCL > Daicon. Honneamise is overrated.

Birdy Decode is better than the OVA, people who complain about the more experimental styles (S2 episode 7 and 12) are idiots.

Osamu Dezaki is merely an average director at best.

Haruhi and Full Metal Panic are mediocre through and through. K-On, Hyouka, Nichijou etc. are far better series and more representative of Kyoani's golden age.

Evangelion's TV finale is the greatest anime episode of all time.

Ghost in the Shell is the pinnacle of anime, in its form and content (intentionally mechanical in nature). To compare it to the SAC series is disgraceful and the esteem for that show is unearned. Much of the supposed criticism for the movie (expository, unnatural dialogue) is far more severe for the series.

Medarot and Ojamajo Doremi are the best kids franchise of all time.

Ocean Wave is easily one of the best Ghibli. Howl's Moving Castle is one of the worst and Princess Mononoke is Miyazaki's shallowest movie.

Hunter x Hunter's 99 version is so far beyond the amateurish, boringly directed 2011 version, it's laughable.

The fact that the director of Alien Nine made such a sub-par adaptation like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, is a shock.

>>137124817
>Ocean Wave is easily one of the best Ghibli
Ocean waves was really boring though.
Omoide poroporo was better.

>>137124817
Experimental TV anime like Space Dandy are a purely modern phenomena.

Aria is an overrated slice of life, the fact that there are a crowd of people who hold such a high esteem for that show while dismissing a far superior work (technically speaking) like K-On! for "lacking of substance" is baffling.

LOGH is politically questionable, has little merit beyond its grand ambitions to which it has never lived up to. As a visual work, it is a complete failure.

The monogatari series' direction turned to shit after Bake. Kizu's trailer was better than Nise, Neko, Second Season combined. The writing was always laughably bad.

The Alabasta arc in One Piece is complete garbage, socioeconomically trite and tedious.

Mamoru Hosoda's post-Toei works are all worthless.

Sato Junichi's work as a director peaked in the 90s.

>>137122714
I get this is bait, but like, are you really so new to anime that you haven't realized almost all anime series/movies are preachy and idealistic? And the series/movies that aren't preachy and idealistic are just called "edgy".

>>137124752
Nope.
I know now, honestly I didnt even know there was a manga, whenever it's discussed it's always the film.

What are the chances of a remake?

Which has little to do with how well it's directed and handled as an anime. In fact, I'd argue that the Aria anime did a disservice to its setting compared to the manga's art which really captures the beauty of Neo-Venezia.

>>137125384
Mononoke gets plenty of love, lurk more.

>>137124868
I think people just like Aria because it isn't set in high school. It doesn't really do anything better than other SoLs. I'm not crazy for the setting to me its just a decent SoL, and nowhere near as good as K-On, Hidamari Sketch, NNB, or even Tamayura

If you don't expose young audiences to quality material early in their youth how do you expect them to have good taste in the future?
Also it's not like his political views are going to affect them either, the general message they get from his stuff is "war is bad" and "respecting nature is important so we don't roll in our own shit"

God I hope. I could forgive everything about Rebuild if Anno pulled off a faithful adaptation of the manga.

>>137129376
Miyazaki is for it, as well. I think it would be interesting.

Anno basically worships Miyazaki, so I think he'd do a decent job. His favorite Miyazaki related work is the manga which is also promising. Only problem is that it would be in a LONG time, we're not even sure when the next Eva film is coming out.

>preachy and idealistic
Who gives a shit? If it's preachy and idealistic then it's preachy and idealistic without sacrificing the story and characters.

First of all I don't even agree that it was preachy, but let's set that aside. If you don't like the themes that a film presents, then that's your problem. The way it portrays those themes is great. They're executed well. It may have strong themes of conservation, but they're not heavy-handed. The story and characters are strong, and it's never hitting you over the head with obvious themes, they're well integrated into the tapestry of the world.

Now, Fireflies was preachy, in a terribly heavy-handed way. It was this stupid cloying guilt-trip with zero subtlety. The characters were retarded, the story was nonexistent, all for the purpose of playing up the guilt. Contrast this with Nausicaa. A rich world, a strong plot, well-developed characters. It has a message about environmentalism and shit, but the message is just as much in service of the characters and plot as they are in service of the message.

So do you hate anything with a strong message? Or do you hate anything with a strong message about conservation? Because if it's the first, then that's a matter of personal taste and I can respect that, but you should be able to understand that your tastes don't line up with the majority of the audience in that regard. If it's the second, then it's still a matter of personal taste, but it's also retarded. Nausicaa doesn't push the message any more than something like Haibane Renmei does, but nobody calls Haibane Renmei preachy. Isn't it just because Nausicaa's message is about environmentalism, and you don't like that message?

You're letting social context impinge on your enjoyment of anime. You're effectively Tumblr.

>>137135988
This is also what I thought before I read the Nausicaa manga.

Ocean Waves did little for me, but I agree with Howl and especially with Mononoke. Mononoke is a really bland film that is desperate to go out of its way to say, "hey, all the sides have their reasons for doing things," but lacks tact or genuine care for why anyone should give a shit.

I am totally on board with you on this all the way. I couldn't believe how much better the original adaptation was.

>Evangelion's TV finale is the greatest anime episode of all time

I really can't help but feel a ton of people who hold this opinion are contrarian for the sake of it. It just bluntly retreads over themes that the main series has already covered, only this time with poorer writing and less subtlety. It's a gimmick that doesn't really solve any problem or result in any substantial catharsis, not does it actually match up with the developments that occur in EoE or parallel that in a meaningful way.

It's a narrative technique. Aria and K-on! for example are categorically mixtures of iyashikei and comedy. I don't know which poster you are, but for the sake of argument, Aria uses slice of life pretty regularly, but can generally broken into some scenes having slice of life elements and plenty of others not. K-on! has relatively little slice of life, the vast majority of the show is some number of people between zero and six being in a room and talking to each other. It's a classic sitcom.

Saying that something is a "slice of life show" doesn't make sense. Slice of life is a tool which is used to establish tone or setup other pieces of the narrative. It's a means, not an end. And I'm just side-stepping how retarded it is to refer to something as a "moe show" as that's just empty inflammatory rhetoric.

And just for some context, there were things I liked about both K-on! and Aria, but I'm not a huge fan of either. Both were pretty good but not great as far as I'm concerned.

>GiTS
I'm totally fine with the dialog ostensibly feeling unnatural. I don't really care about that, and it works in the context of the film. The whole point is that these characters are on the verge of becoming more than human, if their dialog is confusing and unnatural then it just better serves the themes of the film.

And that's where we get to my big problem with GiTS '95. That film has the most singular devotion to theme of anything I've ever seen. It's amazing, really. And those themes are beautifully, inexorably illustrated. The marriage of man and machine, becoming something more than human, the continued evolution of life on earth, etc. But for me, the sacrifices it makes for those themes are too great.

The main sacrifice, of course, is the plot. There's just not much of a plot to GiTS '95. Certainly nothing really satisfying. Maybe this is just a matter of personal taste, but I generally really like a strong satisfying plot. GiTS '95 was this really artful, beautiful, and abstract exploration of particular themes, and as such it was incredible. But too abstract for me to be hugely engaged by. I respect the hell out of it as a work of art, but I never really found it viscerally entertaining to the point where I'd want to regularly rewatch it.

SAC explored the same themes in a way which was much more practical and down to Earth, as did the original manga, and I found that more regularly engaging. Add to that a really complex, challenging, and novel plot, and SAC is one of my all time favorites.

Also, Jin-Roh was better. When you look at all this in the context of Oshii's work at large, it's apparent that he paints with a broad brush. He took GITS and turned it into Kerberos, and he took Patlabor and turned it into Kerberos, but it didn't work as well for either as it did for Kerberos (especially not Patlabor, what a cluster fuck that was).

This.

I haven't really looked at it like that. To me the problem was the expository dialogue the poster I responeded to mentioned. It felt just too heavy handed and seemed add for a movie that tried to subtely present you certain themes threw both the situations and visuals to suddenly straight on tell you what you should think. To me the fact that it felt unnatural just made me pay attention to those pieces even more. It's as if a flaw I had with the film also had big yellow arrows pointing towards it. It's similar to how I felt about Kara no Kyoukai and Fate/Zeto (not saying they stand up to GITS in general of course).

Probably because of this I never really took the plot into much consideration when evaluating the work but I pretty much agree. There were some things that happened along the way that added to the themes. I particularly liked that scene where we see the guy who's been told his memories have been manipulated with but they can't do anything about that. Then we see a shot of Motoko which implies she speculates she might be just like him. Nothing is outright stated, but it also tells us a lot. But yeah, the general core plot really just serves as a means for other things, which wasn't exactly good.

In general, I prefer Oshii's earlier 80s works. Urusei Yatsura 2 and Angel's Egg are some of my favorite anime movies.

The manga is always better than the anime adaptation.

The anime can be appreciated as a separate thing if it is different enough from the source (Ghost in the Shell), or the anime excels in technical aspects that don't apply to manga as a medium (Akira), because these are cases where comparison is impossible.

But in a straight comparison of 'which one told this story better' the manga wins 100% of the time. There are no exceptions.

Pick one

It has a clear story and your argument is bullshit, the kind of thing only someone with a tiny powerlevel would say.

>>137140801
This. Almost all KyoAni adaptations are actually better than the source material, but interestingly, few are actually from manga. One could argue that K-on is a 4koma and that 4koma don't count as manga, but one would be wrong. One could also argue that the K-on 4koma is better because KyoAni removed all of Mugi's yuri-shipping tendencies and the Mio panty shot, but they'd be wrong again.

That's a good question, buddy. Easily the worst Miyazaki-Ghibli after Punyu.

It was shit, but I dont remember a single message in Howl's moving castle.
Spirited away wasnt too bad either.

Totoro is complete garbage. Fuck that little kid with her annoying voice.

>>137140566
This is not an unpopular opinion, everyone will tell you that source material is better in 99% of cases.

However there's always that 1% where the anime director knew how to play the story better than the original. For example Ga Rei Zero.

this is great and all but it's also excessive, sparks don't behave like that and people certainly don't behave like ragdolls when getting shot. it lacks subtlety

Charlotte was reasonably enjoyable and the last power being courage was great

Because apparently there are many people who aren't shit-taste plebians, like yourself. You have no faculties to experience and enjoy art, and unfortunately you will never have. Go back the cringy/loli/moe/natruto-tier crap you're probably watching and continue being all that is bad in anime.

Wrong picture I hope, that's not mononoke hime. Nausicaä isn't even a ghibli film. It was pooped out to rake in the money to start ghibli. The story got fleshed out in the manga.

>>137142563
Someone sure is buttpained by other people's opinions.

Not that I disagree mind you.

>>137142480
Courage loli was my favorite part of the show.

>>137122714
>Why is this piece of shit considered not only one of Ghibli's best films, but one of the best animated films in general?
Because it is.
The opening scene is a peerless masterpiece.

>>137142475
welcome to animation

Howl's Moving Castle was an adaptation.
The source material did not have airships or war.
The characters were toned down and whitewashed for a Japanese audience.

It's a good film, but it isn't nearly as charming as the novel.

Gurren Lagann Ep4 used a better artstyle compared to the rest of the series.

The Eva units look really ugly. Not an intentional kind of ugly, I mean just plain unappealing and poorly designed with ugly colour schemes and all these pointless details that clutter the things. They are perhaps the ugliest looking mechs in all of anime. A lot of this goes for the main trio's clothing too. Evangelion just had poor art design as a whole.

I actually think Eva would be one of my favourite anime the art design of all things really brings it down for me.

>>137123822
Reading the manga made me hate the anime adaption even more because its so simplistic compared to it

>>137122714
To me it is by far the best Ghibli Film, the characters are all great and have depth and the world is by far the most interesting, the story is awe inspiring.

>>137124817
The only thing i agree on is HxH 99. And have not seen Alien Nine yet.

>>137124817
What I can't understand is how someone can think Diebuster is not mediocre at best. Gunbuster is the best I have seen from Gainax

Almost all Ghibli movies are preachy anon.

If they aren't whimsical "child goes on coming-of-age journey" stuff, they're usually "MAN BAD, NATURE GOOD!".

Don't say Graveyard of the Fireflies- Miyazaki had very little to do with it.

I think imaishi should stick to animating.
People only remember Anno because of NGE.
I like Abe's artwork but it can be too depressing for me.
Diebuster is my favorite Gainax, followed by Hanamaru Kindergarten and Abenobashi, with an honorable mention to Houkago.
I really, really liked Kyoukai no Kanata.
Tamako Market was fantastic, and would have been a masterpiece if it had gotten a second season instead of a movie.
Overman King Gainer is the best /m/ show.

But the story! It was so terrible. No amount of crazy designs and dancing loli's could save it.

>>137149350
I thought the story was pretty bare bones. Nothing really that bad or amazing. However literally every character was competent in their own way, and there was no annoying melodrama since it was meant to be a fun show.

>>137148661

Don't say Ghibli when you mean Miyazaki.
