you know, the more I think about this film, the more obvious it becomes that it is simply studio ghibli's best film.
no other story even comes close to the level of depth, the artistry is on a completely different level, the pacing is perfect ... it may not be as flashy but I feel like it represents everything great about the studio and will be remembered as their best when all is said and done.
thoughts? am I crazy?
I mean just listen to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wmUQDR6zG4
Whisper of the Heart is still their best
Takahata > Miyazaki

It's up there. I'm not sure if I would be able to pick between that, Spirited Away, or Only Yesterday.
>>133730618
not sure, I loved the movie, but I can mention a few issues:
- there was not that much... rhythm? maybe it has bad pace, as in flat until the end...
- Kaguya was not a great memorable character as other ghibli movies are... I think that's the issue between Miyazaki and Takahata, Miyazaki is amazing at creating characters and make us empathize with them.

That's not Mononoke Hime.

What is it?
I really liked this movie, but I'm not a big Ghibli fan either (and this also didn't look much like a Ghibli movie).
My favorite is still the Grave of the Fireflies. 2nd best... you're probably right. The music, sound and voice acting was particularly great

It's really good. I just watched it yesterday.
On a side note I think On Your Mark is easily one of the best animated music videos
its one of the best movies I've ever watched desu
I kind of agree more with the replies ITT, I went to see it twice during its theatrical run and thought it's missing something in tying the things together into a big picture.
Still very good and so on and so on.

Desu!

You are definitely not crazy. And although I don't consider it as THEIR BEST, it definitely is among the top 3.
It is a perfect film
Call me a faggot, but I cried like a bitch at the end. This has never happened to me before in my entire life.

I really liked Kaguya, but I agree about the pacing. It felt really really off. There were stretches that seemed to drag (like the challenges) and then the twist towards the end comes out of nowhere and the movie speeds up dramatically.
Still a great movie, but definitely has some flaws.

I agree OP, it's really damn good.

That was intentional.
It was to demonstrate how time is relative and life seems to speed up or slow down in certain circumstances. By the end of the fim her life was literally running out, so everything happened in haste compared to the dull and boring (sheer endless) time she spend in her gilded cage.
At first glance the movie may seem simplistic, but it is smarter crafted, with different undertones stringing along, than you might think.

Also next time you watch it, pay attention to her mood and how that affects the pace of the film.
It's fucking genius.
