I want to watch some studio ghibli movies, which ones should

>>87333660
Porco Rosso

>>87333660
Up on Poppy Hill is a woefully underrated, imo.
Princess Mononoke, if you want something more accessible.

Grace of the fireflies is great if you want to be depressed

Princess Mononoke and Howl's Moving Castle are very good

Disregard anyone that tells you Howl's isn't that good, they are telling you jewish lies

aside from earthsea all of them are great
whisper of the heart, Porco, Kaguya and When Marine was there are essential I would say

>>87333759
It's the best movie I never want to watch again.

>>87333889
my nigga.

i really love Ponyo. such a cute and beautiful movie.

The Wind Rises

Totoro sucks

Watch only Chihiro, Mononoke and Howl's Castle

>>87334455
KILLIONS

>>87334478
Howl's Castle is the worst.

>>87334455
>glorifying Imperial Japan
This was when I realized that Miyazaki is still mad about WW2

On Your Mark
it's a short and it's really good.

Like some have said watch all of them. All of them have unique stories, settings, and characters. You might end up liking that is not mentioned here.

I find most of their works to be incredible destressors. Check them all out but do not binge. No visual media should be binged, imo.

>>87333889
if Miyazaki films were women Spirited Away would be the hot girl you dated in college
were Castle in the Sky is your childhood friend you married after high school, traveled the world, settled down and had 12 kids with.

Nausicaa was pretty good but the environmentalist angle was a bit much. Still worth a watch

>>87334433
Ponyo is probably the most dreamlike Miyazaki film and that's saying a lot.

Mononoke
The Cat Returns

>>87333836
This and Grave of the Fireflies are probably my two favorites but I watched GotF way too many times when I was going through some bad times.

oh man I was so excited about that after growing up reading the earthsea books. my friend's dad came back from a trip to china with a chinese dvd for it that claimed to have jp dub and english subs (it didn't). My buddy, his sister, her friend, and I ended up watching it with chinese subs on which none of us could read, ad-libbing dialogue for the thing. That's the only time I've managed to watch through that dumpster fire of a movie.

Never seen it and finally got a chance to watch it last week

Holy fuck what a hot mess of disorganized shit

>>87336063
I agree that its not good but its actually really interesting to watch for the meta story of Goro Miyazaki as a director.
Its interesting watching that film and witnessing a son trying to imitate his father when he just doesnt mesh with that style, and it hurts the film.
Dont get me wrong there are basic issues with the films animation that also make it bad, but I think its largely Goro trying and failing to be like his dad.
When you go to watch From up on Poppy Hill its a great example of a director realizing what their strengths are and using them to his advantage, proving that he isnt just doing this to be like his dad.
Tales from Earthsea is Goro Miyazaki trying to claim his fathers mantle for himself, which he just cant do.
From up on Poppy Hill is Goro Miyazaki claiming his own place in the history of Ghibli.

>>87336334
Nausicaa, Monoke and Spirited Away are the best, but Porco & Only Yesterday are my favourites

>>87336334
Porco is a perfect movie

>>87336413
Have you seen 'kingdom of dreams and madness'? It's really interesting, and the bits with Goro are fucking tragic. He seems like a wreck of a man. I really liked Poppy Hill too. Ronja is just straight awful though, it's a childrens tv show with 0 redeeming aspects for adults, an adult would have to completely suffer through it. It's amazing Studio Ghibli would make something like that.

>>87336609
My mom went on a Ghibli binge last year and I think managed to make it through most of Ronja. I was impressed by her fortitude having dropped it around episode 5 when it was clear it wasn't going to get any better.

Kiki's delivery service will forever be a fav

Kiki is the best imo

>>87335979
>Childhood is loving Miyazaki
>Adolescence is realizing that Satoshi Kon was way more patrician
>Adulthood is realizing that Paprika is not even a film, the story is nothing, it's an incredibly boring animation test & that Tokyo Godfathers is the kind of sentimental schlock you would make fun of your mother for watching if it was live action, that it's a christmas movie, and that Kon's films only compare favorably to other anime because the bar is so low, and they're mediocre if compared to live action, child you had it right all long.

>>87336609
havent seen Ronja or Kingdoms of Dreams and Madness but im not suprised to now that Ronja sucks.
Goro needs to leave ghibli because being a part of that studio is clearly hurting him. He could be comparable to the likes of Takahata if he just had more drive.

>>87336685
I think you might want to get your mum some help

>>87336824

Studio Ghibli literally works his employees to death, he stands there with a whip and they draw until their fingers bleed and they have a brain aneurysm, say no to animator torture, support cruelty free anime

>>87337374
art requires blood.

Is there a Miyazaki film that doesn't have fantasy, WWII, or environmentalism?
I know that sounds ridiculous, but I want something more simpler.

>>87334478
Totoro is comfy.

>>87333660

Porco Rosso and Princess Mononoke are my favorites, but everything the studio has done is excellent.

Everything before Princess Mononoke is awful and only nostalgiafags pretend to like them.

>>87338612
*something simpler
*something more simple

>>87338612
Whisper of the Heart, the best one of the bunch.

>>87333889
My man. Probably the best adventure movie I've seen. I've found that I like his more swashbuckling movies rather than the slice of life ones like Totoro and Spirited Away

>>87338612
The Castle of Cagliostro
>>87338882
he didn't direct that but he did write the screenplay

>>87338944
I like count everything that he had his hands on because green jacket lupin is really good. also moomin and heidi

>>87338944
he actually murdered the guy who directed it

>>87338823
Yeah, but Porco Rosso was made before that and is way better.

Mononoke is tedious

>>87333660
Whisper of the heart and Cat Returns 2 of the best Ghibli films ever made

>>87340379
it's not. the pacing is fine
fuck off pleb

>>87340379
Agree wholeheartedly.

Watch them all except earthsea and don't forget to watch the castle or cagliostro

I also think it's his best film.
He actually really doesn't like it because its his only film that isn't strictly a kids movie but that's why it's his best.

The director has shitty political views but his movies are pretty good.

>>87334026
sounds like you haven't seen dear zachary then

>>87333660

Kiki's Delivery Service is the comfiest

Ghibli doesn't make movies for "weirdos," it's the some of the most mainstream anime that exists.

Tales of Earthsea is a but underrated by people. Show that movie to a kid who can handle blood and it will be his new favorite movie.

Trips don't lie. I didn't like Howls the first time I saw it, but then each time I watched it I liked it more and now I think it's one of his best.

>>87349125
You ever read the book it's based on? It's really interesting to see how different a direction they took some things from the book.

>>87333660

Castle in the Sky or Princess Mononoke

But all of them really

>>87349415

>Jiro has to hide from kempeitai
>Jiro hopes his foreign friend escapes from Japan
>Jiro constantly lambastes Japan as being backward and behind the times
>Almost no scenes of actual combat; final scene of Japan in utter ruin

Nothing in this film glorified Imperial Japan. Miyazaki loves airplanes and respects the men who helped innovate the field.

>>87333717

Who do so many people here hype this movie up so much? Is it because they are men trapped in pigs bodies?

Whisper of the Heart and Only Yesterday are GOAT.

>>87350291
Because it's perfect, dumbass.

If you'd ever watched it you'd realise that it's just the lead character (Marco Rosso) who's been cursed into becoming a pig (Porco Rosso).

>>87333717
FPBP

Anybody else think The Cat Returns is criminally underrated? Even the English dub is comedy gold, it features Michael Keaton AND Tim Curry.

>>87350824
Easily the most underrated, and the least anime-feeling of any Ghibli movie. It reminds me of "Disney Renaissance" era Disney.
