How come this hasn't been topped yet?
And I'm not talking in terms of sales.
Spirited Away is the pinnacle of anime, despite what contrarians might have to say against it. It's visually and musically beautiful, and the story, despite its flaws, strikes a chord in both kids and adults.
It's been close to twenty years now, so why hasn't Japan been able to top this masterpiece?
>First half is fun, engaging, and memorable.
>Only good part of the second half is the train scene
>Ending is shit
Yeah great movie what a masterpiece
I barely remember it, only ever watched it once and that was more than 10 years ago.

I prefer Only Yesterday myself but I also agree that it is one of the best anime films to ever be made despite the hate Miyazaki gets, his only other films that come close to it are Mononoke and Nausicaa.
>>152443377
Porco Rosso is literally 10x better.
>>152443816
Mononoke was better though. And Castle in the Sky tops both. Spirited Away is 3rd place.
>>152443868
Porco Rosso is one of Miyazaki's worst films, only Ponyo is worse.
>>152443868
>>152443958
Wait, add Howl's to that list too forgot about that. Howl and Ponyo are the only Miyazaki films worse than Porco Rosso.
>>152443377
this was way more mind-blowing to me than Spirited Away

Get real, kid.
Its Mimi wo Sumaseba or die.
>>152443868
Porco was a labour of love and it shows.

Literally what? It's actually his best film. If you can't see that you have shit taste.
The wind rises is his worst.

Porco Rosso is the meme favourite of people that want to seem somehow sophisticated.
>>152444248
>meme favourite
That would be Mononoke. Also literally how does liking Porco Rosso make you sophisticated?
>>152444246
It's actually one of his worst films, if you can't see that you have shit taste.
The Wind Rises is far superior.

>>152444248
That you think this says more about you than anybody else.
>>152444246
This or Cagliostro.
>>152444363
Just stating the facts. Sorry if you are in denial.

It is you, who is the redditor.
>>152444490
Enjoy your literally meme favourite film.
>>152444541
Literally, I will.
>>152444553
Glad we could agree.
>>152444287
Shit posting aside The Wind Rises is ace too.
>>152444598
It's really not. I could not fucking stand Anno's monotone voice acting.

Do us all a favor and kys.
>>152444246
> The Wind Rises is bad
How fucking autistic are you ? It's his best film by far.
>>152444631
I know what you mean but I thought it suited the character.
Mononoke Hime is his best, with Spirited Away just behind it.
However, the best Ghibli film will always be Marnie.
>>152443377
It's not even the best Miyazaki.
>>152444964
Actually I take that back Totoro is also better than Spirited Away.
>>152444383
Vastly prefer Cagliostro to Porco.
