What is your favorite Studio Ghibli film?
either pic related or OP
The one with the big tree in space.
>>70198951
Porco Rosso is objectively the best.
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
Porco Rosso is the best.
i like howl's moving castle alot. not sure why.
havent seen many others because i can't find fucking dubs online
We really don't need to have this thread every few days.

good taste
It's kind of a toss up between From up on Poppy Hill and Castle in the Sky for me.
>>70199559
CitS a best. You just can't beat Mark Hamill as Muska.
"A superior being such as myself has only one option - burn them."
>>70199006
Sounds interesting what is it called?
>>70199092
Its this, The Cat Returns or Spirited Away for me (yes I know I'm a pleb).
>tfw she's dead now
>>70200558
He has to mean Laputa. See >>70200140
Personally I think Kaguya is best Ghibli but that's a tough call

Objectively a snooze fest. Oshii was on the money about that movie.

I think I like Howl's the most. Just the setting and characters and shit.

It might have my favorite characters, but the narrative is ALL fucked up. It has a horribly clunky and disjointed storyline. It's his worst directing job. It's also one of the world movies to pick to introduce someone who has never seen a Miyazaki film--they'll noticing the glaring problems, but they won't be primed to appreciate the charming Miyazakisms.
Manga was better though.
>>70203359
Oshii's interview about Ghibli is a bit odd, and he doesn't really say too much about Porco, just that he thinks Miyazaki put too much of himself into the protagonist. I like that Oshii recognizes how great Takahata's Anne of Green Gables adaption was, for a tv show the direction is top-tier.

Why am I never satisfied with the ending of a ghibli film?
>>70204599
Why do hippies ruin everything?
>>70204793
You haven't watched Only Yesterday.
Mononoke is my personal favorite I love all the ghibli films but they usually have dipping points where my interest kinda wavers with what's going on. Mononoke is the big exception even the slower more atmospheric parts of the movie are still extremely enthralling, I love movies like that where if feels like there isn't even a moment of wasted screen time.
He killed millions.
>>70198951
Pic related, Miyazaki's masterpiece imo
>>70203647
But that music
Kikis delivery service
Whisper Of The Heart or Monokoe
Nausicaa and Mononoke
Mononoke is actually really good if you watch it a few times and tolerate that a little bit of tone and subtly is lost hearing it dubbed
I can say the worst as a film is Howl. It has tons of great parts, but as a whole it's sort of a mess.
>>70211652
Ponyo is worse.
Kiki's Delivery Service. I watched it after i'd moved to a new city so it was therapeutic as fuck. One of the most simple but pleasing movies i've ever watched.
>>70198951
patrician detected.
However I'm shocked nobody mentioned Grave of the Fireflies. That film is a fucking masterpiece, whether you like animation or not.
>>70203318
Why are you ruining such pure movie with those thoughts?
>>70212292
Grave of the Fireflies is my absolute favorite. I recommend it to everyone.
I recommended it to this girl and when she did, she told me "Eh, not that sad.". Fuck her
>>70211602
Add in Kaguya as a 3-way tie and this is my answer.
>>70212292
Grave of the Fireflies felt so artificial, like it was focusing more into trying to "trick" me into caring about the kids instead of transporting me into the story.
Because of that I couldn't get too invested in it. So, eh, not that sad.

Ghibli is like Anderson.
I like all his films alot, some are better than others, but I like some more despite being "inferior":
My personal favorites, in both quality and rewatchability are:
>Spirited Away
>Mononoke-hime
>Howl's moving castle
Porco Rosso is right behind them, but its honestly lacking in general plot, or in grandness.
Does Nausicaa count?
If not that, then probably Kiki's Delivery Service.

I know this is entry level as fuck, but Spirited Away is honestly one of the most beautiful films I've ever watched in my entire life. Every time I sit down and watch it I just get this warm, comforting feeling. I love everything about it.
>>70214216
Why do I like this movie so much? I'm not a girl and I didn't grow up in Japan so I don't know how I can connect with it.
>>70214323
Because it is pure. It is honest and true. No other film matches it.
>>70214323
It's a movie centered around nostalgia and reevaluating your life's path among other things, it's pretty universal. It's Ghibli's magnum opus and I don't think it's close. Has Takahata officially retired?
>>70214475
If so, princess k was a noble exit
Man has a better career than Miyazaki
>>70199003
This. Kaguya is my fav but Wind Rises is a close second.
>>70214527
shut up, nigger
Only Yesterday trumps all that shit
The Cat Returns and Ocean Waves for me.

>>70198951
The Wind Rises, Spirited Away or Nausicaä.
From Up On Poppy Hill is underrated. I can see why it was panned, but it's honestly much better than a lot of his father's work. Very strong character.
>>70214627
You fucking pleb, you know Ghibli isn't just Miyazaki, right?
Probably Mononoke or Spirited Away.
I'm never not in the mood to watch Spirited Away, and I think the pinnacle of the film is the train ride. Top tier everything.
>>70199092
I love everything about Howl's, except for Howl.
>>70214003
>Cultural Barrier Tier:
>My Neighbours The Yamadas.
I can't believe people recommend this as a movie that transcends cultural boundaries when it opens with the father slicing a bamboo shoot with a katana to reveal a baby. Still loved it though, especially the ending.

>>70217551
I watched Castle In The Sky for the first time recently and it got me just how fully formed of a Ghibli film it was. I figured it would be a rough diamond since it was their first major outing but it was pretty much fucking perfect.
:^)
Probably Kiki's Delivery Service. I like a few others almost as well but Kiki's Delivery Service has the best OST of any Ghibli movie bar none - and that's saying something.
>>70217843
I think it's fair to say that by this point Shinkai is Miyazaki's heir to the throne. Journey to Agartha has so many Miyazaki trademarks it's almost a rip-off. He also said his favorite film is Laputa, which is clearly patrishun taste
>>70218125
>fair to say
>Shinkai is Miyazaki's heir to the throne
He's a one trick pony who only got out of his comfort zone once to make a Ghibli rip-off. His movies are also terrible.
Shinkai literally making the same movie every time, he's nowhere close to Miyazaki's vision and his deep understanding of medium
>>70198951
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind without a doubt.
My Neighbor Totoro
>>70218226
>his movies are terrible
kys faggot
>>70198951

Fuck off
Seeing Spirited Away in a theater was a lifechanging experience, it was so drastically different to everything I saw before. Still my favorite if theirs. After that movie I finally accepted that I'm a fucking weeb. Thanks Miyazaki.
Nausicaa is somewhere up there too.
>>70218281
Well they're certainly not good. He basically just does variations on one theme; if he has breadth as an artist I've yet to see it.
>>70218246
>>70218125
>>70218226
this
Also, there are literally no decent anime movie directors right now besides Hosoda.
Anno a hack, Watanabe became senile, Oshii now making shitty direct-to-video live actions, Kon is dead
>>70218356
Neither is Nausicaa. They are both Miyasaki movies. Fuck off yourself, autist.
>>70198951
He killed millions
>>70198951
>le smoking cigarettes anime
what a lazy shitshow
>>70218413
And what is the theme you're talking about?
>>70218424
Nausicaa has literally all the trademarks of the Ghibli productions and kickstarted the company into existing. Lupin? You mean Castle of Cagliostro right, faggot? How is it in any way Ghibli beside sharing a director?
>>70218424
Nausicaa is the reason why Ghibli could be founded and is included in official Ghibli compilations home media. Lupin doesn't come close.
>>70218414
Hosoda is a decent director, but he needs to hire a writer because his stories and characters are god awful. His most recent movie was terrible. He really hasn't made a good feature length film yet.
>>70218414
>watanabe senile
He made the best anime of this century not 2 years ago
>anno a hack
He was always shit
>oshii
Is he still doing Patlabor stuff? I have no idea
>Kon kill
Well, yeah. You could always rewatch Magnetic Rose tho
>hosoda needs a writer
He wrote Wolf Children right? There'a barely better writing in animation anywhere
>>70198951
Porco Rossi.
>>70218657
>There'a barely better writing in animation anywhere
It makes the elementary mistake of having a completely pointless narrator and a character with a nonsensical motive to move the story or emphasize a point. Wolf Children isn't a bad movie, but even Disney and Pixar are currently pumping out movies with better writing currently.
>>70218792
>disney
>AND PIXAR
Fuck off shill
>>70218490
The main driving force behind Castle of Cagliostro and Studio Ghibli is Miyazaki. I'm not interested in arguing with you. I don't have a clue why you are.
>>70219012
And the main driving force behind a steaming pile of old man shit in Miyazaki's bathroom is also Miyazaki. I'd argue that pile of shit is more complete and useful than you will ever be, but you are not interested are you?
>>70218540
>his stories and characters are god awful
His characters are as believable and realistic as it can be in animation. I rewatched the girl who leapt through time after years and really was amazed how naturally characters behave after all that uniform plastic moe dolls spouting cliches that you see in your typical school series. Wolf Children had one of the best character development that i've ever seen not even in anime. Growing with my little brother and working abroad father i can say that it's painfully realistic depiction of struggling mother and her feelings.
>Miyazaki is gone
>Ghibli makes a film about Ronja
>It's CG shit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsYWw0AzMAs
Daily reminder that Madoka is the best anime ever produced, way better than anything Ghibli ever shat.
>>70219519
I like this b8
>>70219300
>the girl who leapt through time after years and really was amazed how naturally characters
It seemed like the protagonist was acting as stupid as possible, even when she had information that suggested she do otherwise, advice from her Aunt, and purposely tried not to fuck things up, to deliver a hackneyed message about growing up, responsibility, and taking chances in life without regret because "time waits for no one" (this is mentioned about six times for emphasis). That crap is even muddled by the third act with the dystopian future and the romantic sub plot that results in her waiting and pining for Chiaki for the foreseeable future, a high school crush. It was a terrible movie, but Hosoda didn't write that one.
>>70218316
Well if there is only one correct order you got it wrong.
I can't make a list because I have not seen every Ghibli movie. But of those I have seen I know you've got it wrong. For one thing Fireflies is way too high.
>>70199003
Are you for real? That film drops in quality very quickly halfway through and only manages to pick it back up at the end. The whole first half is great though.
>>70219648
Strange, I didn't think putting Fireflies that high would be controversial.
>>70219769
It's too emotionally manipulative for my taste. And the kids died because of pride and stupidity
>>70217309
I loved it, but I feel it has a bit of a problem trying to figure out what it wants to be. Each individual scene in the film is GOAT but sadly the overall film leaves you wondering what the overall point was.
It took liberties with the facts, but still felt restricted by trying not to write some cinematic story arc for the sake of it, although I do respect that.
the one with the shitty plot and weirdly drawn characters acting like idiots
anyone else kinda prefer takahata?
only yesterday princess mononoke and grave of the fireflies are my top 3
>>70219769
Are you fucking kidding me? You just gave that spoiler your little piece of shit faggot. I will find you and smash your head on the ground your pussy ass faggot.
>>70219869
Wow. Someone besides me posted almost the exact same thoughts I had.
>>70219869
Ok, but that was the point. And the pride and stupidity basically represent Japan during the second world war.
>>70220017
What the fuck are you on about?
>>70220023
It's a popular opinion among people who dislike it. The kids dying because of Saito's pride and lack of maturity was the point, though. Not sure how that's a flaw.
>>70220052
> but that was the point
No it was not. If it was, the manipulation is even more hypocritical
>>70218657
Magnetic rose is so good. It might be one of my favourite anything. I can't rate it high enough.
When will this old faggot die so that Disney can finally buy Studio Ghibli?
>>70219519
madoka is great for what it is
>>70219625
nigga were there any girls in you highschool class? that's exactly how they behave in their teens, especially if they are pretty and having this self-centered attitude
>>70220052
The point was to be emotionally manipulative, you're right. It just didn't too a great job because it wasn't even trying to be subtle. It was just in your face "FEEL SORRY FOR THESE KIDS! LOOK HOW CUTE THIS LITTLE GIRL IS! START CRYING NOW!"
I felt artificial and distant.
>>70220097
Movies that are meant to be sad, must some way or another manipulate the viewer in order to elicit emotions from him. You only have 2 hours, after all. This goes for all emotional responses to film.
>>70220099
I think it'son par with Alien, only in a different sense.
>>70204488
you get that shit all over around the Adriatic too. Hope to get a job working a archaeological project of venetian wrecks out there.
>>70220017
Sorry m8, replied to the wrong dude
>>70220163
I see. I didn't experience it that way.
>>70220145
I don't think Disney evenhas dubbing/distribution rights in America anymore. I mean I bought Wind Rises from them but I don't think they did When Marnie Was There or Kaguya.
>>70220145
Japanese people never die unless they commit sudoku.
>>70220171
Letters from Iwo Jima didn't feel the need to manipulate me emotionally. Neither did Magnetic Rose for that matter and it only had 1/2 of Grave's time on screen
>>70220157
I don't have a problem with her general attitude, it's a very predictable but tried and true character arc, especially about time travel. It's just the depths of her actions felt forced, clearly designed to move the plot in a specific direction, and the pay off was completely unsatisfying. Not to mention she's completely unlikable while being a shallow character whose actions you can see coming from a mile away.
>>70214102
Exactly the same for me.
>Spirited Away
For Quality Animation and comfy asfck story
>Mononoke
For Actionkino and interesting story/lore.
>Howl's Moving Castle
For best Magic sequences and another comfy asfck story. This also IMO has the best english dub cast. Based Bale as Howl is perfect
>>70220216
So you felt that it was subtly done?
>>70219869
try watching some ww2 film about the yhwh cult. the bianist for example.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byAfC5yW_hw
>>70220434
Not him, but I felt like Saito's growing insular nature as he retreats into a world of fantasy despite his intention to act as a guardian was. Some people say he has absolutely no character.

Because she didn't feel real to me. I'm not saying cartoons can't get you emotional (I'm sure I've gotten emotional from cartoons before, just can't think of a time off the top of my head, at least not one that made me want to weep). But I never felt like those kids were real. I don't know. Maybe it's because I was rolling my eyes so much when they were at the aunt's house.

I actually really enjoyed When Marnie was there. The plot twists were nice and unexpected in a Ghibli movie.

I felt the opposite. I thought they (especially her) behaved exactly like little kids do.
