This man more than deserved all the praise he's gotten.

I'm very torn about Miyazaki.

He's an insanely skilled animator but he's been very visually conservative since his Future Boy Conan days and this gave the west a lame idea of what anime "should" look like.

He can be pretty smart but the image he tries to create for himself is obnoxious and deeply insincere. That and I feel he's legitimately gotten dumber with old age. He used to say really insightful and intelligent shit in the 80s and 90s, now he's just a smug grumpy old man devoid of any hope for the world saying retarded (the stuff about iPads) or outright malicious-sounding (his response to the Charlie Hebdo massacre) crap.

I think he was a really cool guy in his younger years but has gotten progressively less cool over time both artistically and as a person.

without a doubt the greatest living animator and director of animation

shame about the writing

What about his animation is good though? I'm not saying it's bad but animation in and of itself isn't hard now is it? It's just time consuming but virtually anyone that can draw can animate no? I'm not talking about the direction part mind you.

Who shat in your oreos?

Old guy who full of himself and thinks the world owes him money. None of his stuff is actually amazing.

But idiots who know nothing of animation will blindly praise him cause others do. mob mentality.

you jack off to oreimo don't you

That's Toei shit isn't it? Isn't Toei and Ghibli basically the same shit? Why are you singling one out? If Miyazaki was responsible for it you'd love it wouldn't you?

>>158335969
If you think Toei and Ghibli are the same shit you're the one who knows nothing about animation beyond "popular mass appeal bad obscure good"

Because even though Disney made sure the world sucks Miyazaki's cock deep down he knows that he'll never be as good as Takahata. He's eternally trying to make a film better than Takahata but always fails.

Miyazaki is the living embodiment of shame and false praise.

So, he just got old?

Toei and Ghibli share many similarities. And I don't think popular means it's shit. I love Naruto and have spend many wanking nights on the subtle homolust and fanservice.
