He's made some pretty forgettable ones.

>>158355236
Why are moefags so sour?

>>158354900
I can only enjoy Ponyo if I'm under some sort of influence, otherwise it's just gorgeous animation wasted on a boring and dumb plot.

And Totoro is a little overrated. Not bad, but it's not exactly the GOAT everyone makes it out to be.

>>158355236
Why couldn't he just go with the romance angle

>>158354900
Howl's Moving Castle is fucking garbage.

>>158354900
Howl's Moving Castle.

>>158354900
Wind Rises and Ponyo are pretty bad. Feel like the only reason he came out of retirement those times was to clean up his sons fuck up and then to make up for his own shit just to fuck up his swan song so he needs to make one last movie to hopefully redeem himself

>>158355588
Totoro, Porco Rosso and Kiki's are the essential Miyazaki movies, and Ponyo is the one that comes closer to those. Western normalfags overrate the shit out of his most derivative and overproduced works like Spirited Away. I would expect some better taste around here, but this is nu/a/ we are talking about after all.

>>158355761
Kiki's should have been longer. It was awesome, but why not even more awesome? There wasn't any good reason for it to end so abruptly. It feels like some jew producer jewed him out of half an hour of screentime instead of a proper ending.

>>158355761
How are Nausicaa, Laputa, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, and Howl's Moving Castle not the essential Miyazaki movies? They all follow much more similar narratives, there's many more of that style, and Nausicaa was the first official Ghibli movie.

>>158355761
>Western normalfags overrate the shit out of his most derivative and overproduced works like Spirited Away
You are just being contrarian and putting down a great film for being popular

>>158355981
this desu, no matter how you look at it Spirited Away is in his top 3.

Why is it so cool to hate on Howl's Moving Castle? Because it did well in the west? Because it's one of the most traditional romances? Or is it just because it wasn't a faithtful adaptation?

>>158356107
I didn't feel a sense of adventure or fantasy, just didn't click with me.

>>158354900
What's the general consensus on From Up on Poppy Hill?

>>158356107
>hate
Learn a few more words and return.

>>158356237
Good movie to watch alongside your children and a couple of beers.

>>158356281
Read that as "a couple of bears"

>>158356237
Pretty sure Miyazaki had no part of it.

easily the worst ghibli movie I finished.
Attempted to watch EarthSea 3 times,
but never got to the end

>>158356237
It's okay. No like it because I have a weak spot for stuff taking place in older ,but still modern, Japan.

What about this?

>>158355236
that wasn't him you mong, and it was still better than Ponyo and Wind Rises.

>>158356610
*I like it

>>158356107
Romance?
Where?

I just want Goro to finally direct something decent

From Up on Poppy Hill is by a wide margin the absolute worst Ghibli film.

>>158356678
Looks like your average Miyazaki flick. What about it? I see brilliant fantasy elements on that poster alone. And some brilliant art direction.

>>158354900
he looks weirdly monkey-like

>>158356237
Almost as boring as Tales from Earthsea

>>158356856
that is extremely sensitive to monkeys

But has made bad opinions more than once.

If Ghibli uses Totoro to present itself as a studio, does Shinkai use anything? I've only seen Stars and Wallpapers, and know next to jackshit otherwise.

>>158357226
Clouds, he loves him some clouds

>>158357226
He plasters his name all over the poster and credits. Not sure if that's what you mean.

>>158357226
Tears. Or trains. They both mean the same thing to me now, anyway.

Is shit. And boring.

Do whatever you feel like doing (engineering?) and don't assume any responsibilities for your actions, and fuck everyone else, specially your wife, she is just there to support you, if she is sick, is her problem.

Came here to say this.

>>158356107
It brings up so many subplots and never really resolves any of them. Its a really confusing movie.

>>158358931
Yeah it almost felt like Miyazaki was forced to make a movie about something he had no experience in, and he said yes to it just so he could write some scenes into it that featured girls

>This
I thought the same at the beginning, but then I heard and interview and he said that it was a really personal story and that he though that the guy was very important for the history of Japan.

>>158359611
>and he said that it was a really personal story
I didn't know Miyazaki was an engineer. Learning more every day.

>>158359660
I may need to check my grammar, but you need to check your vocabulary. Personal is not autobiographical. Just personally important or appealing for him.

>>158359611
Yeah, Kingdom of Dreams and Madness goes into this I think.

But then that just makes me feel like it's a hagiographic movie, because the guy doesn't have much of a personality and only exists to make planes and engage in an incredibly bland love affair.

It was also and awful fucking decision to give Anno the role. Though maybe a boring character deserves a one-note "voice actor".

>>158359743
Yeah but an interview is just that. I personally felt like he was forced to make a movie about something he had no experience in.

>>158359752

I agree, is like they didn't even know about him, just worship him. Or may be he was really as plain and plane-obsessed as the film suggest.

>maybe a boring character deserves a one-note "voice actor"
In this way it may even be a good voice actor casting choice.

>>158355351
Agreed.

Also Totoro is grossly overrated and Howl has really bad pacing problems.

>>158359961
>In this way it may even be a good voice actor casting choice.

That could only work if the character was meant to be awkward and stilted, and if it made his interactions with other characters look that much more uncomfortable for him. They could've easily gone for something like that, but instead you get someone who's just perfectly generic and dedicated to their job.

And this really isn't a trivial issue, because so much of the film hinges on his subjective perspective with things like plane dreams or the weird exaggerated earthquake at the beginning of the film. These things could've been incredibly effective if the MC had a perspective worth exploring.

>>158355351
Nausicaa movie is the best thing he's ever done right after the manga you tasteless plebeian

>>158355981
Spirited away is a great movie,its just that most of his movies are way better

>>158360005
>hating on something just because it's popular
sad. many such cases.

>>158356237
The first half was amazing. Then they introduced the twists and that kinda ruined it.

It was still OK though.

OBJECTIVE MIYAZAKI FILM RANKING:

Spirited Away > Princess Mononoke > Kiki's Delivery Service > Porco Rosso > Howl's Moving Castle > Totoro > Nausicaa > Castle in the Sky > Ponyo > Cagliostro > On Your Mark > Wind Rises

>>158360755

Christ. I expected /a/ to be smarter than this. OP here. I played you all.

*Never made a good movie.

>>158354900
Or a good one. As a male that isn't a libtard, none of his movies have struck me as that amazing.

So.... after seeing this thread, I gotta question how many haters does this man actually have (specially in Japan) for his opinion on the anime and mistake and shit.

>>158356107
Boring subplots

He has literally never made one good movie.

Stop using words you don't understand. No need to be rude just because I called you out on that. This isn't your safespace bud. I can go and respond to you as I please. If you want a more controlled hivemind visit reddit sometime and stay there.

>>158363249
I think is right. Is like saying that fast food killed gastronomy. I agree, I like cuisine, but I also like fast food.

>>158364578
And this isn't neither your personal safespace fag. You can go to reddit, or go to tumblr, and sorry if I don't care about what you say, I stay here and respond you whathever I want. Fuck off now.

You see. I never told people to fuck off. Unlike you. You can't just bounce back the argument like that. It doesn't work that way.

>>158364631
>food analogy
So this is the mindset I need to degrade myself to when watching Miyazaki movies... naruhodo

>>158354900
The same can not be said about his son

Not even with an analogy as simple as the fast-food analogy you seem to get the point. Sad. Don't degrade your mind(set) even more or you'll find yourself enjoying Chobits...

His movies just looks good. The stories are just drecks

The only GREAT Miyazaki movie is Castle of Cagliostro.

Totoro is probably his worst.
