Kiki's Deliverty Service

Jiji is my waifu

>>160205691
This isnt uncommon Miyazaki movies. They vast majority of them has good visuals but shoddy writing and cradboard characters. Kikis and Totoro are just the worst offenders. Many people will call you contrarian because these movies are often treated like same holy grail, but youre not alone in dislike this overrated shit. Kikis bowtie is cute, though.

It's not that kind of movie.

>>160205691
>MUH CONFLICT!
>MUH CHARACTER GROWTH!
Why not just stick to watching shitty hollywood flicks?

Not everything needs conflict or character growth to be good. Fuck off, peabrain.

Very good flight scenes, typical miyazaki.

Live action is better.

>>160208367
Lol retard loves planes so much but doesnt know how to give them realistic ascents. What a delusional otaku.

A lot of miyazaki films are "nothing too interesting happens"

>>160205691
It's a comfy movie, like totoro is. Not a master piece in any way but isn't supposed to be one either.

Preachy as in: "If you kill a bunch of forest critters, the Forest God is gonna get you"?

So you didn't realize the bathhouse represents a whorehouse. Okay, I get why you didn't understand the movie then.

>Nausicaa
>jesus mary sue vs. bugs
The entire point is that it isn't versus the bugs.

It never ceases to amaze me that people keep coming to this site to flaunt their idiocy

Holy shit this, I watched it because I keep seeing it referenced and praised. What a load of shit, are the people who actually liked that movie high?

>>160209370
>So you didn't realize the bathhouse represents a whorehouse
This is some next level headcanon

>>160211511
I mean, I was high when I first watched it. But thats not why it holds a special place for a lot of people. Miyazaki really is nip Disney. Do you think The Lion King and Aladdin are boring nonsense you have to be high to enjoy? Maybe you do, but I enjoyed those movies as a kid, and I still enjoy them as a 25 year old. Same goes for Totoro and Kiki and Cagliostro. Somethings are just quality and you can tell the difference. You proabably just went into the films with expectations of seeing a 'masterpiece' and were doomed to be dissapointed.

>WAAAH WHY DIDN'T KIKI AWAKEN HER CHOSEN ONE MAGICAL POWERS TO DEFEAT THE DEMON KING
die OP

Where the hell did you even find a theater showing it?

>>160212100
Stop this. Beauty and the Best, Alladin, Lion King, Mermaid, etc. All of those movies have actual plot lines. Its compelling story telling. Please do not compare the shit that are most of Miyazakis movie to them. I adore his art and animation and prefer it over Disney but holy shit are his writing skills atrocious. Theres being a fan, and then theres being delusional. Compare Disney classics in regards to writing to Miyazakis works is nothing short of an insult.

>>160212100
>Not understanding the very clear differences in storytelling between 90s Disney movies and things like Totoro
Fucking stoners.

>>160212666
I mean im not comparing solely the writing though. Im talking about aesthetic and feel as well. I cant argue that Miyazaki might not compare to the greatest Disney classics, but who does? At least Miyazaki comes damn close. Especially in Cagliostro, that's the closest you're gonna get to a Disney masterpiece. The fact that Kiki lacks a Scar, Jafar, or Ursurla doesnt make it less of a compelling story for me. In fact, I find those sort of differences to be part of its charm. Im not even a Miyazakifag, im an Annofag. But I still maintain Cagliostro is one of the best movies ever made. Ok hate on Totoro or Kiki if you really want to be a snob, but his peak is as close to Disney as any other animator/director is ever going to get.

>>160212881
Disney isn't even good, m8. Not outside of pure animation quality and the songs. Miyazaki at his best is much better than the supposed "Disney Classics".

I like Laputa

>>160205691
>overrated
I agree. That pixar fat dude that looks like he wanted to suck miyazaki's dick played the 'japanese anime so mysterious card' card that everyone including their grandma were falling for. They ate that shit up.

>>160212881
Youre nothing short of delusional. And I honestly dont even see how not valuing his work is "being a snob". The only impressive works that Miyazaki ever procuded are Nausicaa for its fanatsy backgrounds which completely pale in comparison to movies such as Macross DYRL, Wind Rises for its story and Spirited Away for the overal experience. Outside of that his movie tend to mimick more realistic settings, which isnt an impressive feat in regards to art direction/reproduction. Calling the mess that the Lupin movie the best movie ever made is mind blowing as well. The pacing is shit, the roles too transparent and straightforward and the overal plot-line too flat and tiresome. Quite frankly, the fact that you spout this bullshit and "not consider yourself a Miyazaki fag" is absolutely hilarious.

>>160213126
I didnt say it was THE 'best movie ever made', but honestly, I doubt we can even engage in discussion if your opinions are that radical. Like I honestly dont know how to engage in conversation with someone who thinks Cagliostro is utter trash that isnt worth watching. I would have to write an entire essay to begin responding to your allegations and assumptions.

So Ill just say, The Wind Rises was boring, faggot shit and planes are stupid and boring.

>>160213288
I hilarious how you try to turn this into me insulting the movie and calling it names, when I provided actual points of criticism. Neither did I claim that the movie wasnt worth watching, I simply claimed that it was a mess. But that applies to most of his works yet they are stil worth the time due to their visuals (which, again, are matched and outclassed by many works out there, those simply happen to be more ambigious and controversial which is why they'll never receive the same amount of praise). If anything this posts proves just how delusional you truly are. Say that you like his movies and that you dont give a shit about writing, but please dont tell people to share this sentiment since its one of the reasons why anime become dumber every season with the audience asking to have every little story aspect handed to them.

>>160205691
>Just watched this in theaters.
What?

>>160213505
Look man, if you just want to shitpost and play the part of professional redditor/internet debater, go somewhere else.

Sure, you didnt explicity state 'the movie isnt worth watching' but you called it a mess that has bad pacing, bad characters, bad plot and bad writing. That sort of implies that you think the movie is trash and not worth your time. Hiding behind "omg i never said it wasnt worth watching haha u fanboiii' isn't really a compelling argument. Seeing as how you think every fundamental part of the film is lacking, it would take me thousands of words to refute every claim you made which I dont feel like doing on my Sunday afternoon. Please go spread your angst somewhere else, we are just talking about anime here.

>>160213890
Google it if you're in the U.S. Showing tomorrow subbed

I agree about it being overrated, OP. Never got the appeal.

The worst part of Ghiblifest is that they don't show Porco Rosso

Are there subtitle screenings for this Ghibli theater run? Not only does it make it more "PURE", but it should eliminate the chance of kids, or really anyone, being around.

I saw The Wind Rises totally alone in an enormous theater. The kind that sits like 200-250.

>>160211559
When it came out, miyazaki said so in an interview.

>>160216474
my bro
porco so underrated.

>>160216840

Maybe it's the least marketable of his films?

I don't get why the Ghiblifest has no Mononoke though, that was one of the things that gained him normalfag attention over here. I get why they're playing How Is though, because that's somehow the most easily taken of his films.

>>160205691
OP are you in MA? Possibly Boston? I think Kiki is only airing in MA around this time

>>160205691
>overrated
Same with Koe No Katachi and Your Name, all trasg

its actually one of his weakest films but its still an 8/10 in my book. It seems like something girls would enjoy more anyways. I love castle in the sky a lot but other people think its boring.

>>160205691
I tend to like vignette movies, but I also thought Kiki's lacked something.

>>160205879
Totoro is a much better movie than Kiki's, and has much better characterization. I don't think anyone outside of the nostalgic consider Kiki a masterpiece

>>160213126
>Wind Rises
>Story
>Impressive
The story was all over the place because of awful pacing, ridiculous time jumps, and the plane portions contrasting hard with the TB plotline.

>>160220150
They should have left the TB plotline on the cutting room floor like God did.

>>160205691

Kiki's is Ghibli's second best after Mononoke. Your taste sucks.

>>160216895

Because it already had a theater run like 3 months ago for its 20th anniversary.

I pity people who cannot let themselves get swept away by the magic of Ghibli films.

>>160205691
best scene in the movie was when she sleeps naked in hay and has a cow tongue her, even as a kid I knew what's up

>>160209237
>king of otaku
>doesn't watch anime
>thinks 3D animation is good
the old generation is nothing but trash, only the ones that kept watch anime through the 2000s are the true fans.

I don't get how normalfags like Ghibli movies but hate SoL with a passion.
At least SoL has comedy

>>160205691
This has to be a troll. No one can possibly be this retarded

>>160212987
I like putas too, amigo

>>160223193

Most SoL shows fucking wish they could get on Ghibli's level, though it isn't fair to compare a movie to an entire cour.

>>160223236
>Most SoL shows fucking wish they could get on Ghibli's level
How so, besides animation?

K-ON is better than most Ghibli movies but it doesn't get credit with normalfags.

>>160205691
If you want everything to end with your answers plus a morale, get back to your simplistic american cartoons.

>>160223391
but its americans who worship miyazaki's films

Still amazes me people can be this dense. There's plenty of conflict and character growth in Kiki's Delivery Service, you'd have to be blind to not see it. The show is your standard coming-of-age tale, so the conflict and growth is all internal.
It's one of Miyazaki's better films, made near the height of his career. Probably the best of his non-action films. Still doesn't hold a candle to Whisper of the Heart though.
