Saw it for the first time the other night and it was incredible. Spirited Away and Kiki's Delivery Service remain my favorites, though.

>>81091653
Porco Rosso is for patricians only.

Anyone else thought it was just okay? Maybe I was too hyped up for it.

everyone says this is good which is why im never going to watch it

same reason i havent watched NGE

worst ghibli

>>81091653
Great film, easily in the top3 Ghibli/Miyazaki films. Music especially is GOAT.

I watched it with a friend and they fell asleep halfway through, but I was pretty much glued to it. On the other hand I thought Castle in the Sky was borderline unwatchable and preferred Nadia (which was like Gainax's version).

ignore him, he has been shitposting in every thread regarding anime/animated films for the last 3 years.

>>81091653
I've only seen My Friend Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service. My wife introduced me to those. I hadn't watched anything animated as an adult until then. We were actually talking about watching the rest of Miyazaki's stuff a few days ago (been about six years since she showed me the other two).

Where should we start? She won't watch Spirited Away or whatever the horse one is. She has something against movies about horses (even though we have three on our farm) . What is the best Miyazaki? Many say it's this one.

>>81097687
no horse dies in any ghibli movie so whats the deal with the autism?

>>81092114
I think the scenery is beautiful, the fantasy elements are interesting but not overly kooky, and it's the only 'man vs nature' fantasy allegory that actually makes a case for human development instead of the usual Hollywood "d00d all humanz r evil lmao" treehugging nonsense.

>>81097747
You actually nailed it. Knowing that the horse doesn't die I can probably talk her into it. Animated or otherwise, she can't handle seeing animals die.

>>81097687
just follow the chronology of release,

Laputa, mononoke, spirited away and porco rosso is probably the best ones.

Also watch castle of cagliostro, pretty much a ghibli film made by the same gys before the studio was founded.

>>81097687
IIRC there aren't any horses in Spirited Away. Quite a lot of animals die in Princess Mononoke, mostly wild boar and wolves.

>>81097808
mononoke might be the hardest watch as a fair amount of animals dies in that film, but in that movie they are conscious beings so they are more human than poor unwilling animal casually killed off.

>>81091653
Honestly, Spirited away, Laputa, and Howls moving castle are the best. There's quite a few other good ones which I'm sure will be mentioned in here though.

Anyone actually enjoyed this wreck of a movie? I found it absolutely excruciating to watch. The pacing is all over the place and the characters weren't believable or sympathetic at all. I get that Miyazaki wanted to portray it all through a kids' imagination or w/e but it doesn't fucking work as a movie imo. Maybe if I was a legit braindead or a stoner I'd manage through it

>>81095560
>From Up on Poppy Hill
I dont know, it was just underwhelming with no real resolution at the end. Here's some kids in post war japan an they have this old clubhouse that is about to be demolished but they spend all this time renowating it so some high up politican cancels the demolision and the protagonist have a father that never came home from the war and nothing really happens and he is in little or no way bothered by this fact.

Everything is just up front with nothing underneath it, no conflict between the teenagers, between the parents and the children or the teachers or students.

Nothing really happens in it.

I watched all studio Ghibli movies, but Howl's Moving Castle is my all time favourite.
I actually cried a few times watching it the first time.

>>81092114
I liked the first half, but the whole "abstract monster destroys everything" shit is so overplayed and goes on forever. Those nukes really imprinted on the Japs to make them put that shit in every fantasy anime ever
What I really love about the movie though is how even handed it's depiction of industrialization vs environmentalism is. Unchecked industry obviously is detrimental to everyone, but at the same time Miyazaki takes care to show how the industrialized fortress provided opportunities for the most marginalized people in society, and increased everyone's quality of life. It would be way too easy to just do "trees good metal bad"

>>81101000

That's actually not much different from Ghibli and many other anime movies. They often use regular movie/TV actors, not voice actors.

>>81101971
I liked the dub for Howl's Moving Castle, although the Batman voice was a little much

>>81101747

It was kind of off-putting at first but I actually thought it was a really unique addition to the film.

great movie, easy 9/10 when it comes to animations. But I wish they focused more on Mononoke. Focused more on her backstory, how she came to be who she is, etc.

Does anyone else feel that? I dislike when a story has a really compelling character and doesn't expand on them enough.

>>81102670
It would have just been an unnecessary distraction.

>>81091653
Easily Miyazaki's best film.

>>81101041
I didn't see the Nightwalker as symbolic of nukes, I just treated it at face value as God pissed off at humans for fucking with him. If you take it that way, it's reflective of the fact that god has essentially died in the eyes of the average individual; he doesn't factor into our daily lives anymore.

>>81102670
>Focused more on her backstory, how she came to be who she is, etc.
She was an orphan that was raised by the queen of the wolves and the spirits of the forest. She had a chip on her shoulder because she was trapped between worlds.

Right. And now God is dead and humans have to figure shit out for themselves. That's where we're at, now. At least in the west.

Western struggles with Christianity are irrelevant to the movie.

I wasn't aware gods wandering around was exclusive to Shintoism. Would you also say Gene Wolfe's Latro In The Mist is Shintoist?

What is your point here? The wolf tribe has dwindled down to almost nothingness. and Okkoto has this to say:
>Look on my tribe, Morro. We grow small, and we grow stupid. We will soon be nothing but squealing game...that the humans hunt for their meat.
The death of god in the eyes of the average individual.
>What is your point?

If you have no familiarity with shintoism at all, why are you trying to have this debate?

If you want to angst over Christianity, go do it somewhere else. It's not what Princess Mononoke is about. Try Angel's Egg or something.

>>81092864
Weird. Castle in the sky is probably my favorite ghibli movie, and I thought mononoke was just ok. I would say my #2 and 3 films are graves of the fireflies and only yesterday. I've fallen asleep twice watching kikis delivery service

>>81103312
You didn't even address what I had to say, nice going, man. I'm not angsting about Christianity, I'm merely stating a fact. Do you honestly believe the average Japanese individual practices Shintoism with its declining birthrate?

>>81101895
miyazaki himself prefers you watch them dubbed, so that your vision is focused on the artwork

most of the dubs are essentially produced by Pixar (with the exception of Mononoke, produced by the Weinsteins, Castle + Kiki by Disney proper and Ponyo, which was produced by Marshall\Kennedy) and they put a lot of effort into them. many of them are excellent, most of them are good, and some of them stink.

Howl's Moving Castle's dub is an improvement over the Japanese version.

Castle in the Sky and Kiki are the only ones where watching the Japanese version is required since they were produced before Pixar was involved and Disney really oversimplified the dialogue while adding more of it, changed story\theme elements and even added new music.

I personally dislike the English Nausicaa since they changed a lot of the sci-fi terminology and miscast the main character.

If you don't like the Fanning sisters, 20th Century Fox made a dub of Totoro in the 90s that you may like.

Lastly, Miyazaki prefers the French version of Porco Rosso because it has Jean Reno in the title role.

>>81103402
Princess Mononoke is set hundreds of years ago and is clearly shintoist in its setting. Shintoism is the native religion of Japan and permeates their culture and thinking just like Christianity does in the West. Shintoism is featured all the time in anime and games. Shintoism is Japan's largest religion, practised by most people (the birth rate has nothing to do with the matter).

Why are you trying to hijack this movie ?

>>81103503
>miyazaki himself prefers you watch them dubbed, so that your vision is focused on the artwork
Miyazaki says a lot of things, most of them not sensible.

>>81103522
>(the birth rate has nothing to do with the matter)
Of course it does. All religions put stock in childbirth. You'll find that most people who aren't having children in the west are not religious.
>Why are you trying to hijack this movie ?
Hijack? Nothing I said is specific to Christianity. Here, I'll make it real simple for you:

>I didn't see the Nightwalker as symbolic of nukes, I just treated it at face value as a god pissed off at humans for fucking with him. If you take it that way, it's reflective of the fact that gods have essentially died in the eyes of the average individual; he doesn't factor into our daily lives anymore.

Humans not caring about gods, actively looking to murder them. God(s) dying in the eyes of the average individual.

Indeed. However a cursory glance at aspects of the Shinto religion states that they even have talismans available denoting a safe childbirth. Japan's birthrate is the lowest it's ever been. Still wanna tell me Shinto purveys the land of the rising sun?

If you take it that way, it's reflective of the fact that gods have essentially died in the eyes of the average individual; he doesn't factor into our daily lives anymore.

Dude he never said it has anything to do with Christianity. Unless I'm reading this wrong, you're the only one mentioning it. He's retarded for trying to imply the film doesn't have Shintoist influences because it obviously does, but you're the only one talking about Christianity here.

>>81104111
>Yes. Tell me who's buying the talismans sold by the religion if nobody's fucking.
But people are fucking. Japan has LOW birthrates, not ZERO birthrates. And what does this even have to do with anything? The fact is that shintoism is practised by most Japanese people. You can't reason your way out of that with these weird mental gymnastics.

It's amazing that you've gone from insisting the movie has nothing to do with shintoism to insisting that Japan itself has nothing to do with shintoism. Just what the hell is your problem?

It was hyperbole, man. Jesus. Are you Japanese or something?
>And what does this even have to do with anything?
A cursory glance at Shinto puts a lot of value in children. I can bring up links should you ask. Now what does it mean for a country's practice of its purported national religion, a religion that, as I just stated, puts value in children, when that country has extremely low birthrates?
A. They're practicing it with exactly the same gusto as their eighth century ancestors
B. They're not
Pick one. This isn't a difficult question.

>It's amazing that you've gone from insisting the movie has nothing to do with shintoism
My only insistence was that the Nightwalker doesn't represent nukes, and that his death represents the death of god(s) among the general populace. Then you came out with:
>Shintoism isn't monotheistic, and the movie takes place hundreds of years ago when people were more religious.
As if my point wasn't applicable to a polytheistic religion. Then I came from a place of ignorance insinuating the film had nothing to do with Shinto. Now we're here. You seem to think I'm talking exclusively about Christianity in my assertion. I am not. We done, yet?

>>81104515
Again:
>The fact is that shintoism is practised by most Japanese people. You can't reason your way out of that with these weird mental gymnastics.
You are thinking of shintoism as if it were Christianity, which it isn't.

You're just as much of a desperate loonie as those retards who think Spirited Away is about prostitution. I don't know what exactly your issue is but it very obviously requires deep psychiatric intervention.

There's something about the short-hair and blue sky and general energy which this poster and movie has which gives it the vulnerability I think most teenagers believe is missing from their lives, like the general rules of society have been infringed upon by complexes which anime eschews. Really beautiful stuff, and I think what captures some of the poignance of guys like Miyazaki and Hosoda.

Surely I can't be the only one who thought it was one of Ghibli's best. Maybe it's because I haven't watched Only Yesterday so don't have another slice of life like Ghibli movie to compare to.

It's great, and it's westaboo, so even anime-haters can like it. The spin-off movie The Cat Returns is also worth watching, and probably the least Japanese feeling of all the Ghibli movies.

This desu, although Mononoke is 2nd best for me.

>>81103791
Miyazaki doesn't necessarily understand how shitty some of the dubs of his films are. He has the luxury of netting some of the most consistently high quality dubbing work out of most 'foreign language' animation, but even then some of the dubs are duds that crap all over the original work, Wind Warriors aside.

Spirited Away and Cat Returns are both particularly egregious. SA specifically is quite insidious, in that it avoids making any 'cuts', but the changes to the dialog severely alter plot points, themes and characterization to the point where it barely feels like the same movie in English, but otherwise feels like a decent, regular kids movie to anyone who just watched it expecting that. For something like Naussica the dub is probably fine and the more ideal experience, but that doesn't apply to everything.

>>81092667
>nausicaa

>>81104618
>You're just as much of a desperate loonie as those retards who think Spirited Away is about prostitution

Look, the film isn't about prostitution, but it it is heavily based around themes of exploration in general and doesn't completely shy away from the 'sexual' (which I mean in the broadest possible sense) implications of this.

Like, it's one thing to claim that "really, Spirited Away, despite appearing on the surface like an innocent kids film, is actually a really dark and adult movie about the Japanese sex industry and everyone wants to bang Chihiro or force her to fuck everyone and blah blah etc." that we can happily reject. But at the same time it feels silly to deny the undercurrent of exploitation that is there, and that that at the very least there are characters who are very much interested in Chihiro in likely more than platonic ways. It isn't "about sex" by any stretch, but it is very much based around portraying the ways various elements of society might try to exploit a vulnerable young girl.

>>81098555
It holds a special place for me only because it was the first time I got to see a Ghibli movie on the big screen and it was pretty to look at. But I agree as a film, it's probably one of the weakest in their canon.

My top three are (in no order):
Castle of Cagliostro
Totoro
Spirited Away

>>81103964
