What is the best Ghibli film?
Gibbe dat princess monoke fantasy folk epic
Best is hard to choose but I'd say Wind Rises.
Favourite is Whisper of the Heart.
The Tale of the Princess Kaguya
Princess Mononoke is my favorite
10/10 Porco Rosso
>>63349110
The only correct answer
Only Yesterday
1. The Tale of Princess Kaguya
2. Only Yesterday
3. Whisper of the Heart
4. My Neighbor the Yamadas
5. My Neighbor Totoro
Spirited Away
>>63349300
No question.
>>63349381
I haven't seen Yamadas but I agree for the rest.
Spirited Away if you're not a plebelord
The different Ghibli films have incredibly powerful individual connections to their fans. There will never be consensus on "best". That being said, I don't think the studio will ever see another success like Spirited Away.
>tfw after watching Kingdom of Dreams and Madness.
>>63349187
it's arguably the worst one.
>>63348987
Best one is The Wind Rises, but you have to watch the other ones first.
But which one is the most comfy?
>>63350206
Ponyo
>>63350206
My Neighbor Totoro
I really liked Kiki's.
>>63350092
Face it...you're a pig.
>>63350092
I can also argue that you have fetal alcohol syndromeexcept i'm actually right
>>63350206
Yamadas
The cat returns.
No idea what my favourite would be. I binged watched Miyazaki's movies years ago, but I don't think I was able to sit through Kiki's or Totorro. Just got bored. Should probably give em another shot.
No mention of Nausicaa yet, disappointing
>>63348987
Do we really need this thread every week?
Anyway, it's like this:
>Best
Spirited Away
>Worst
Tales from Earthsea
>Overrated
Princess Mononoke
>Underrated
When Marnie Was There / The Secret World of Arrietty / Everything directed by Takahata that isn't Grave of the Fireflies
>>63350206
Kiki's
Not english, please consider.
>Grow up in neglecting family
>Watching Kiki on state funded TV
>Neglecting mum walks by and watches.
>Begins ranting about youths/how it was back in her day
>Runs to grandmother.
>Turn on TV.
>Grandmother makes tea and talks about the difference between now and then.
>At night - mom looking for me.
>The feeling of getting pulled by your arm and shut in the car.
>I miss grandmother :(
kiki was my childhood hero.
>>63350525
>That scene with the thugs and the realistic character designs\animation
>>63348987
It's a tie between Nausicaä, Chihiro, Mononoke and Tale of the Princess Kaguya.
It's Kaguya and anyone who says otherwise is a massive fucking pleb.
>>63349407
>those eyes at the end
damn, girl is on some heavy ass shit
>>63350656
>Worst
>Tales from Earthsea
You might be right but I don't like giving it too much shit, it was clearly not very well supported from within the studio and it showed. There was still some pretty cool scenes in it though.
>>63350206
Kiki
Ponyo
Totoro
Only Yesterday
Whisper of the Heart

>>63351438
Yeah, I agree. I think Goro has proven since that he's a competent director--though Poppy Hill still isn't in the same league as his father, Takahata or even Yonebayashi, to my mind. Writing surely play a role in that as well, and I hope he manages to make something more in the future.
>>63351601
watch Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust and Ninja Scroll.
It's Grave of the Fireflies.
Followed by Laputa, then Spirited Away.

They always used to be on film4. Why does everyone love Mononoke so much?
>>63352626
It is a bit repetitive.
>>63352795
It just didn't click with me, I dunno. I never watched it as a kid, and it just wasn't that magical to me. I love the opening song and the bus scene but the rest was just kind of a chore. Same with the Yamadas to a certain extent. That movie only really has 2 or 3 great scenes with a bunch of shitty filler.
Marnie > From Up On Poppy Hill though, which could only really appeal to nostalgic 50 to 60 year olds who grew up in the 1950s and 1960s. It's vision of 1950s Japan is also so wrong as to be borderline deceptive.
I seem to be the only person in any of these threads who likes Castle in the Sky the best.
>>63353095
I like it the most too. It and Spirited Away are really close in my eyes.

Ghibli is a dirty old pedo. I like him.
>>63350656
Grave of the fire flies is a fucking bummer
>>63351601
good, if you cant appreciate both akira and kiki you are part of the problem
>>63348987
probably either Nausicaa, Spirited Away, Porco Rosso or Mononoke
![image_e4790569[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/FRSOsln.jpg "image_e4790569[1].jpg")
Everything about this movie makes me super happy. It's like the comfiest movie ever made.
>>63350206
Porco Rosso without question
>>63351982
I really don't mind if they are, I'd rather they leave behind a solid body of work like they have atm than string it out through decades of decline like Pixar seems to want to do
>>63352932
>I never watched it as a kid
there's your problem
>>63353095
It probably has the best lore of any Ghibli movie imo, everything is only hinted at, barely anything shown aside from the title sequence
>that new dark ages feel
>that nonspecific time period
>those random craters all over the landscape
>that shadowy government and army
>that eerie abandonment of Laputa itself
>that quasi-religious stuff with the spells and the stones
It has a sense of history and mysticism more than any of their other movies, I'd say, maybe that's what you like about it too?
My Neighbor Totoro is an incredible exercise on showing its subject on the most basic level possible. It's simply amazing how far Miyazaki can go on about childhood in a film that is essentialy two little girls running around the countryside.
The film duo about aviation by Miyazaki, Wind Rises and Porco Rosso, is fantastic too, very touching and personal yet incredibly evocative in their images. Porco Rosso may be one of the best action films to be ever done but is also the culmination of Miyazaki's restrictions about violence in his films; while Wind Rises takes a deep look into his paradoxes as an author and the weaponization of art. The latter is really underrated and will soon have its fair share of praise.
As for Takahata, he really is amazing too. His well crafted dramatic core and his understanding of humanity through animation really makes him a totally different beast. Tale of Princess Kaguya may be his masterpiece, in which he portrays the mistique and pace of ancient tales with true understanding while also renovating and delving immensely into its characters with little touches into their expressions or by using completely experimental animation to great use. It's the easily the work that encompasses all that Ghibli has ever stood up for in the first place, and closes it up perfectly.
For which one to choose, it's a matter of preference. I love them all.
Mononoke

>unironically posting your anime tatts on Facebook

>>63350206
kiki
>>63357430
I agree.
All the rest of Ghibli's movies have at some point a sad moment, or at least a dramatic one, or something darker (like Neighbor Totoro when the girls are lost).
But Kiki is 100% cozyness.
>>63357934
What I loved about The Wind Rises was how, aside from the dream sequences and cutaways etc., it could easily have been a live-action, sweeping, 50s romantic epic. It has that feel and pacing about it.
>>63358582
The thing is that animation leads to shed light into objects and magnify them, which makes the idillic Japan of Miyazaki's work as that, a dream, something long past that is mourned. "Real-life" filming cannot appropiately portay how Miyazaki feels without making it too rose-tinted.
>>63349381
>3. Whisper of the Heart
Only right answer.
Princess Mononoke.
Granted, I watched it as a young teenager and I had no idea about anime outside of the common TV shows. Point is, your favourite Ghibli film is probably the one you have seen first while being in the target group for said movie.
>>63353095
Castle in the sky, Nausicaa, Mononoke, and Spirited away are my favorites. I want a fox squirrel...
>The Wind Rises is good meme
There are so many missed opportunities. Miyazaki doesn't even show the Zero in fucking combat. The love story is never really developed and so you have a film that is about two things and does them okay but never really does either one well. Porco Rosso is much better I think.
None of them. They're all shit, you /co/cksucker
>>63349300
this is coming out in US theatres in january, all the plebs will be talking about it, the movie falls short the second half and the adult portions but that's fine, its an aight film.
>>63353095
>Castle In The Sky
me too bro. it's as good as the Indiana Jones films and even the quieter scenes like Pazu playing the trumpet are wonderful.
>>63359783
>this is coming out in US theatres in january
>it's a 1991 movie
What the fuck America?
>>63359712
this is not true. some are pretty good if you are a huge hipster faggg
>>63359673
>Miyazaki doesn't even show the Zero in fucking combat.
How can anybody miss the point so much is unbelievable.
>>63348987
Spirited Away and The Wind Rises are my favorites, Mononoke is great too, but it's a little less creative than Spirited, and less spiritual than Wind. There are plenty that I haven't seen.
>you will never explore the sea of corruption with nausicaa
>you will never help her take samples and document new mutation strains and bring them back to her underground preserve where she'll study them andgive you a kiss for being so helpful to her
Why even live?
>>63359914
The point? The point is to show how dreams can be beautiful but can ultimately become corrupted. Doesn't mean we should give up on them but sometimes shit happens.
>>63359673
because Miyazaki would really want to glorify the image of the Zero in flight, yeah, that's what he was going for with this film
>>63359845
it mentions menstruation so disney flipped their fucking lid when they were introduced to it in 1991, it doesn't even have an english dub still and only became available for purchase in the UK last year after being reclassified
shit like this makes me realise how sometimes we do still need (non-retarded) feminists, jesus
