Studio Ghibli

Ivan's Childhood

>>155727272
Ever notice how all of Ghibli's more contemporary movies detailing how life in Japan sucks ass are the least popular(except Grave of the FF)

Kaguya no Hime obviously.

Only Yesterday

The studio would be better off without Miyazaki.

Spirited Away :^)

>>155728019

I just watched this for the first time a week ago. The animation was incredible, but I felt the story dragged on for too long. If it weren't as beautiful as it was I think I would have gotten bored with it. I'm glad I stuck with it though, cause that ending tore me right to shreds.

Speaking of which does anybody happen to have webms of Kaguya?

I know we are supposed to be contrararian here but Mononoke Hime hands down. Every time the main theme plays I get chills.

Your Name

>>155728178
You deserve to be stoned for posting :^)

but you also have quality taste, so this time, it's a pass

> /a/'s favorite

Porco Rosso, Nausicaa, Castle in the Sky, either Only Yesterday or Kiki's Delivery Service, depending on the day

Spirited Away for babby's first animu.

Princess Mononoke for hippies.

Howl's Moving Castle for fujoshits.

My Neighbor Totoro for pedos.

Grave of the Fireflies for "Takahata > Miyazaki" faggots.

Castle of Cagliostro for oldfags.

Shit taste for everyone else.

Marnie.
But I also loved The Cat Returns, Spirited Away, and Mononoke Hime.

they're all good, but howl's moving castle is more so

Kiki, Laputa and Whispers of the Heart are my favorites.

spirited away is the best and anyone who says otherwise is trying too hard to be a contrarian

Mononoke Hime is my favorite animation of all time. The rest of the Ghibli movies are hit or miss but that one is like my ideal

I'd tend to agree with you.
Maybe only because it's the first Ghibli I've ever watched, but it's certainly still my favorite even now.

Porco Rosso might actually hold second place tied with Spirited Away. I don't think I could make a list more complete than that.

>>155727272
My favourites are Totoro and Wind Rises. Miyazaki is my favourite director. All his movies, Takahata's + Kondo's (rip) are excellent. Everything else is pretty "standard" as far as animovies go.

>>155727272
Mayba Kiki's Delivery Service.
I know we shit on them here, but they do make comfy movies with nice art.

How do you say "Ghibli"?
Giblee?
G-hi-blee?
Jiblee?

>>155728196
I could agree with that. Being an adaptation of a folk tale the story and characters are really simplistic, and it doesn't really have the nuance that drives his other movies. Still a great film though, excellent in most ways.

That's what I hope. Yonebayashi is talented, I don't want to see hiim living in Miyazaki's shadow forever. Ponoc seems the best outcome, not such a drastic cut and still the possibility for more freedom and something new.

my dad showed that to me when I was like 4 or so, always stuck with me,

I don't like anything by studio ghibli. it's all boring moeblob garbage

>>155728114

This. It's one of the most spellbinding animated films because of just how little you expect of it when you first watch it and let it slowly take its pace. It's no wonder it was one of the highest grossing movies in Japan at the time with the biggest demographic being older adults.

It's not a perfect movie by any means, however it is memorable because of an easy to relate tale of being an adult in conflict with what they expect from childhood.

I'm in my mid 40s and the themes in the movie still resonate strong.

Princess Mononoke = Castle in the Sky > Nausica >>> The Cat Returns > Everything Else

Solid choice anon. Also very underrated. 10/10 OST in that film as well.

Weird fact about Takahata films:

Pom Poko made 4 billion yen in the box office
Kaguya made 2.5 billion yen in the box office
Only Yesterday made 1.8 billion yen in the box office
Grave of the Fireflies made 500 million yen in the box office

It's a complete reversal as to how popular his films are today.

>>155731637

The childhood flashback vignettes and the subtle way they even portray exaggerated emotional outbursts gave me the feels.

Gotta give it the director and his choices. Those weird, ugly facial expressions actually added a lot of depth to the way you feel for the characters. I'm amazed no one else has emulated this.

It's interesting because the original manga was only the childhood scenes. Takahata seriously is a master at creating a greater story, while adapting the original source material as well.

This is actually quite fascinating, thanks. Never knew that.

Also, how many of you guys think Only Yesterday had one of the best endings ever?
Even though it's out of nowhere, the last 3-4 minutes exhilarate me the same way as some of the best hollywood blockbusters

Ponyo was a let down. It's just an overly expensive, beautifully drawn weekend Saturday morning cartoon show.

>>155732191
It's cute as hell, almost saccharine. The story is pretty shallow though. One of Ghibli's weaker works unfortunately.

I can respect Ponyo as one of the greatest children's movies ever made, but I am not a child and therefore don't feel like I get as much out of it as a 5-12 year old would. It doesn't really have the same crossover appeal that Ghibli's other kid-friendly movies do.

Porco Rosso. Comfiest movie of all time

Just weird to think that you prefer stuff like Marnie or Poppy Hill. To each their own, I guess. Ponyo is fantastic, by the way, but I like his movies more than you. Still, should give it a shot.

Has anyone here seen the original English posters that were released for Nausicaa Valley of the Wind in the 80s? Legitimately hilarious.

>>155727850
That's because they just aren't as good as the more fantastical ones. Whisper of the Heart is the best of these though.

>>155738743
That shit wasn't Nausicaa but a complete travesty fitted to appeal to burgers much in the spirit of American "adaptations" in those days

Mononoke-hime. Personally, I think most of Ghibli is overrated (I think I stopped watching their movies around Ponyo which was such ass I was embarrassed to have watched it), but Mononoke-hime ends up telling a good story with an interesting setting and characters. Which is more than you can say for most of Ghibli.

Grave of the Fireflies is good too, but extremely difficult to watch.

How did that become considered a 'classic' in the west anyway? As far as I know Japan never saw it as anything more than a standard pulp action flick.

It's totally weird to me how little people even talk about this movie. Even among the 'lesser' Ghibli films it is seldom brought up despise being basically the single most bizarre, complex and fantastical film they've made.
