Left or right?

Childhood is when you worship Hayao Miyazaki
Adolescence is when you worship Satoshi Kon
Adulthood is when you worship Isao Takahata

>>156020993
My answer wouldn't please normalfags

Whoever answers right is without a doubt a contrarian hipsters.
Takahata's filmography is objectively weaker.

>>156021209
Elaborate.

I choose "c": akiyuki shinbou

>>156021308
Takahata has 3 legitimately great movies.
Miyazaki has at least 6.
Takahata is only maybe superior in TV works.

>Horus
>Anne
>Marco
>Heidi
>Gauche
>Kopanda
>Jarinko Chie
>Grave of the Fireflies
>Pom Poko
>Only Yesterday
>My Neighbors the Yamadas
>The Tale of Princess Kaguya
His filmography is stronger even if shorter, more consistent and with higher highs. His approach to animation is healthier, his methods more experimental and sociologically interesting. His films are more nuanced and introspective, more focused on interior life.

>>156021593
Gauche, Jarinko Chie, Grave of the Fireflies, Only Yesterday, Pom Poko, Yamadas and Kaguya are all great and his series are among the best TV anime productions ever made.

>>156021833
>>Grave of the Fireflies
>>Only Yesterday
>>The Tale of Princess Kaguya
These are the only great ones.
>more consistent
Absolutely not, though Miyazaki probably has the lowest low.
>His approach to animation is healthier
Meaningless statement.
>his methods more experimental and sociologically interesting. His films are more nuanced and introspective, more focused on interior life.
All characteristics not inherently positive or negative.
>his series are among the best TV anime productions ever made.
Marco is weaker than Conan.

>>156022144
Fuck you, Ponpoko is Ghibli's best film.

>>156020993
Takahata

>>156022214
Actually one of the worsts.

>>156022144
Yamadas is top 5 Ghibli material easily and Gauche is fantastic.

Neither.
Picrelated is the only one good anime director currently living

Mamoru hosoda ≥ Makoto shinkai > Hayao miyazaki ≥ Satoshi kon > Isao takahata > most anime directors

>>156020993
Miyazaki is more fun. Both as a director and as a person.

>>156022482
>fun
He's literally delusional old geezer:the anime director.

>>156020993
Both of them are "left" tho.

>>156022476
Shinkai is bottom of the barrel and Hosoda will never be as good as Miya and Taka. Kill yourself.
>>156022462
Whito piggu go home.

>>156022476
Shinkai sucks and Hosoda doesn't belong there either.

>>156022528
How is his cynicism not fun? He's very open about it and it's a hilarious contrast from the films he makes.

Meanwhile Takahata stays quiet about everything, does things late.

>>156022543
tekkonkinkreet is better then 90% of shit ghibli ever produced

>>156022594
>cynicism
The opposite, he's too idealistic.

>y-yu kanuto burasufemaizu desuuu

>>156022658
The two go hand in hand. You see his disappointment when work doesn't adhere directly to his ideals. Best example is the recent "insult to life" comment. That said, I think he prefers to posture as a cynic than as an idealist.

>>156022698
You are really lame.

>>156022682
>High Tier:
>Naoko Yamada
Hilarious.

>>156022774
This. Should be in top tier.

>>156022843
Even funnier.

>>156022682
Mamoru Oshii directed exactly ONE good movie and every other are ranging from mediocre to pure shit. His liveactions are even worse, to the point of pure cringe.
He belong to OK at most

>>156022682
>Hiroyuki Imaishi,Yoh Yoshinari
This doesn't make any sense whatsoever. How does someone practically inexistent as a director and storyboarder like Yoshinari belong together with Imaishi?
And Imagawa in high is equally absurd. Not to mention Tomino.

Reducing directors to rankings and tier lists removes all nuance to the discussion and just turns it into a nerdy bitchfight.

>>156023118
Nakamura absolutely doesn't belong that high.

>>156023954
Why not?

>>156023521
Best girl.

>>156024031
His output as a director can't even begin to compare to the others on the same tier. Are you arguing otherwise?

>>156024179
I wasn't arguing anything, I was just curious. I didn't even make that tier list.

>>156024491
It just doesn't make sense putting him alongside Dezaki and Anno.
Many other positions are silly but the people that posted the lists don't seem interested in discussing so whatever.

>>156020993
Left
