What's your favorite ghibli movie?
Even if it's the basic bitch answer, it has to be Spirited Away for me. Marketing in my country revolved almost entirely around "look, cool monsters!" and since I didn't really know Eastern mythologies all that well back then I was blown away. Those monsters felt like the peak of imagination, a movie full of exciting things of the like I've never seen before.
Kiki
You posted it.
Maybe Kiki. It is interesting how that movie and Babette's feast came out around the same time and are about a witch(but really an artist)
the one with the sexy loli
Definitely Kiki
the one that isn't even technically a ghibli movie, nausicaa
what's your favorite ghibli movie?
In no particular order: Princess Mononoke, Porco Rosso, and Pom Poko. With an honorary mention to Kiki's Delivery Service and a separate mention of the Nausicaa Valley of The Wind Manga - which I can't recommend enough. It's amazing.
I've also been lucky enough to see Mr.Dough and the Egg Princess from the Ghibli Museum and it was earnestly amazing. Straight out of a fairy tale, I can't understand how consistently talented Studio Ghibli is at capturing whimsy and fantasy so well.
I desperately hope I get to see The Day I Harvested a Planet some day - even if it's just a shitty cam capture.
I believe Only Yesterday is the highest artistic acheiment of Ghibli. It really stands out as a masterppiece of cinema.
Kiki is not sexy at all.
le twitter meme anime
go back
I found the adult segments to be weak, but the child segments are incredible
adult segments
Shit Takahata made up to push his themes.
Fair
Ponyo
I like them all in concept and aesthetics, and some do give that classic nip adventure feeling. But I cant say I like any of their movies all the way through
Sorry, I remembered the only movie I like all the say through. Like I said, I enjoy all of them, but to me The Yamadas is just perfect
you posted it. saw it in a theater and it got me into anime in the first place (Saturday morning Speed Racer and Astro Boy cartoons don't count)
Laputa Castle In The Sky and it isn't even close. I'm a sucker for "multiple factions racing toward the same treasure" type plots. Though I do admit that its soundtrack isn't the best (still good though).
this is my list after seeing every Ghibli film
Miyazaki would smack some sense into you
Arietty, Kiki and Omoide Poroporo.
the part where Taeko overhears her family questioning if she might be retarded because she's failing math
she asks them to explain what "dividing fractions by fractions" even means in a practical sense and no one can do it but they still get mad at her
Hit too close to home.
Why do 90% of them have shit endings
Please move the following to "S":
Nausicaa
Kaguya
Only Yesterday
The Wind Rises
Glad to know The Boy and the Heron is good. Still haven't gotten to it. And Ocean Waves is as bad as they say, huh?
Modern math education and it's consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
I see people place Porco Rosso as #1 whenever this question pops up, but I just don't understand. The whole survivor's guilt plot was great, but supporting cast were either background noise or, worse, actively annoying. Though I suppose it has been a bit since I watched it. Maybe my tastes have changed and I might like it now...
As a huge fan of Miyazaki, I cannot deny that most of his films drag on and then end strangly.
Ocean Waves
It's an ok love drama, not bad, just not the kind of quality nor content you expect from Ghibli. I'd say worse than Whisper of the Heart.
Did anyone else see? I didn't really notice much of a difference. Probably should have pre-watched the original. Audio wasn't IMAX-quality at all, so I guess they didn't remaster that
Still my favorite however and loved watching it
This was my main problem with Howl's Moving Castle. The plot makes a point about how Howl keeps running away from his problems only for the one time he doesn't, it blows up in his face and he has to run away anyway. Then a girl kisses him and all the problems just decide to solve themselves offscreen. The End. Honestly really annoying.
I thought the characters were its strongest point. Both the protagonist and antagonist were very entertaining and Fio was cute.
I think Only Yesterday is amazing, but I honestly wanted to fill out the A and B category, since it'd be too heavy in 'S' otherwise. So then I had to ask the question, "Is 'x' better than Porco Rosso?" If no then it went somewhere in A or B, like Only Yesterday, which I should move to A at the very least.
Kaguya
It's great, but maybe it's my attention span, but the shit's too long and the ending is only second to Howl's when it comes to. "wtf was that?!" territory. Disappearance of Haruhi Suzimiya feels shorter despite being longer
Nausicaa
I love it, but I like Laputa more. I feel like my opinion might change after a rewatch and checking out the manga though
Wind Rises
No, I'm sorry it's a sweet film. But Ghibli has made much better romance films, and I'm just that autistic about planes as Miyazaki, gomen. The best part of it was the creepy german dude who looked like scooby1961.
ocean waves
it's fucking AWFUL, I really don't get how some people like it. It purdy tho in some scenes.
not that autistic
lol if I was that autistic then I would probably love that movie
Nausicaa is great, but reading the manga absolutely elevates it.
