Why you're not watching this?

I watched it when it came out on video in 2000 and all I remember is the apes thinking if they ate the brains of some other creatures, they'd get powers.
It always loses steam for me somewhere in the second half.
Because I don't watch shitty cartoons made for children.
I really don't see why people have such a hard on for Princess Mononoke, it is easily Miyazaki's most overrated work. Pretty much just more of his man vs. nature themes that were done better in Nausicaa.
Porco Rosso is probably my favorite Miyazaki. It's maximum comfy mode for me.
>dat setting
>dat light conflict where you get a clear sense that any sort of antagonism between the protagonists and the "antagonists" is more of a professional thing
>dat sense of flight
>dat really good dub with Michael Keaton as Porco (who strangely starts out sounding kind of weird and offputting in the role but he gradually eases into it for some reason)

It's not a shitty cartoon made for children, it's an excellent cartoon made for children.

Not at all. The allegory of the Giant Warriors being nukes was a little heavy-handed for me.

what about steamboy then?

Because I don't know how to find movies to download.

I love Nausicaa and it sucks that we'll probably never see the full story from the manga get brought to life on the screen. It's kind of an Akira situation for me where I rewatch it after reading the manga and I think to myself "This is good but damn if it would be better if they made it when the source material was actually finished."

yeah dog

Watched it last month. My daughter alternates it with The Cat returns or Spirited Away, and we watch it together.

Well, both Nausicaa and Akira were directed by their manga's authors. I'm pretty sure they knew how their own comics were going to end.

lol, what the fuck is that and is there more of it?

>man vs. nature themes that were done better in Nausicaa.
No. You fucking ape. In Nausicaa it was black and white, good and evil. In Monoke they portrayed it a lot more nuanced, a lot more balanced and a lot more mature. If you prefer the way it's handled in Nausicaa, you're a fucking teenager.

Instead of sperging out why don't you give some examples of how it was more nuanced and how those nuances make it better than any of his other similar works.

The Cat Returns is underrated. Wish it had a higher budget though. Parts of it are kinda janky.
