I am not biased against Miyazaki, I love Porco and Nausicca and a bunch of other movies he's done.

I just find it funny that everyone praises him alone for Ghibli work, yet when he is excluded they make a movie that was better than anything under his direction.

The music was superb

Because ironically the Japanese usually don't get Buddhism.

>>83416446
Japanese Buddhism is its own thing. To compare it to the Buddhism you have in mind is foolish.

>>83415679
good animation, shit story. Castle In the Sky is the best Ghibli movie.

>>83416653
Are you serious? All Buddhisms grouped by regions (Indian, Tibetan, Chinese, South East Asian, Korean...) are their own thing. That doesn't change the fact that while they share tons and tons of elements (even Japanese Buddhism does) the Japanese tended and tend to be particularly bad at getting it.

I don't need to. The fact of the matter is you think you know what Buddhism is but it is its own thing much like the very versions of regional Buddhisms you made note of.

So you have no argument? Alright then.
Once again, "muh regionals" doesn't excuse the ignorance lots of Japanese media display about Buddhism, their own "Japanese Buddhism" included. It's not hard to find criticism regarding this inside or outside Japan. In fact, I'm going to point you towards an excellent one immediately: the Japan chapter of Nakamura Hajime's 'Ways of Thinking of Eastern Peoples'.

Might as well educate yourself first if you're going to talk about subjects like this.

It's true that the best Ghibli film had nothing to to with Miyazaki, but that is not it.

>>83415679
Miyazaki is the Lucas of anime, everyone knows this.

>>83418380
Shit movie. They'd have been fine if the dumb kid could have swallowed his pride and kept living with his bitchy aunt. The only thing about it that I like is how it actually shows how the firebombing of Tokyo did way more damage than either of the nukes.

Kaguya was not good. Beautifully animated but had a lot of problems with pacing and really getting the audience to connect and care for the characters.

Well at least you have a semi-legit critique. Though I disagree about the characterization. Seems you both just can't be immersed in a slow movie.

I love slow movies man, one of my all-time favorites is A Brighter Summer Day which is about four hours or so.
I think what I wanted was more emphasis on Kaguya's (accelerated) childhood and her relationship with Sutemaru, and less of the moping around in the capital. The emotional highs and lows seemed somewhat out of place and by the end I really felt like I was just watching to see the conclusion. I wanted to feel sympathetic for the main character and I could identify with some of her issues but it just felt difficult overall.

the movie was semi auto biographical, because of his pride the author let his little sister die. You are literally faulting a movie for being realistic, and you are feeling towards the kid are what you are supposed to feel. Also you can see it as a critic of Japan as an honor based society.

You are taking the term luddite to literally, its a label for someones who rationally or rationally hates technology .

And he never said he hated it for looking cheap, if that was his criticism it would be valid. But he goes on a tangent about how the creepy AI created animation reminds him of his disable friend and calls the project "an insult to life itself."

I don't know.
Yonebayashi's work is highly praised yet I found Marnie to be quite boring.

I tend to enjoy the less Ghibli heavy movies. Or the ones that people say you HAVE to see.

Miyazaki's good, no doubt about it, but he is pretty overexposed relative to his level of talent. It seems that after Spirited Away, he achieved meme-status as >le Japanese Walt Disney to normies, who literally can't name a single other Japanese animation director besides him, yet are certain he's the greatest of them all.

And if anyone has read Alice in Wonderland, they'd recognize that most of the elements associated with his aesthetic actually came from Lewis Carroll's imagination, not his own. He merely animated the ideas that Carroll had already brought-to-life in his stories.

>>83419964

It's not just the best film Ghibli has produced but I unequivocally believe it is the finest animated film ever produced, and will probably remain so, and one of the greatest films I have ever seen, period.
Watching it in the cinema I felt not just moved by how good it was but was genuinely perturbed by how incredible it was. It unsettled my idea of what an animated film could be and what just simple drawings could accomplish, and I say that as an artist and someone to whom these films have been very important throughout my life and it still blew everything away.

taking things from authors is one of the most common things in all of film and not at all a reason to doubt Miyazaki's ability because it's from another medium
I'm by no means a die-hard Miyazaki fan but that is simply not a legitimate criticism. People don't "associate" things only with him personally, he has a design team and things go through committee like everyone else
