Why do people act like this is so above and beyond other Ghibli movies? It's really not that great.
Objectively(as objective you can be when talking about art) you can in good faith make a good argument for Princess Mononoke or Grave of the Fireflies to be the best, maybe even My Neighbour Totoro but most certainly not Spirited Away.
What's with the massive hype?
it was released in american theaters
miyazaki is a pedophile
what makes you think that?
This is so normal in Japan seriously, fricking American prudes it's only weird if you think it is.
Yeah, and showing cartoon e-girl panties on television is also normal in japan
Sauce?
>showing cartoon e-girl panties on television is also normal in japan
Not until your kind got in the fricking way of their business
pic related isn't miyazaki's
nice cal arts face, Mistakazaki
do americans put their babies in a tub alone and hope for the best?
it's okay for japs because the adult males have baby dicks anyway
Everyone is a pedophile. If you don't find pic related hot you are a queer. Ans who the frick likes big droopy cow breasts. You should want small perky nips
>Everyone is a pedophile.
No its just the freaks like you
No, she's not attractive.
and a hypocrite
>Otaku are disgusting e-girlcons!
>Also Miyazaki: Kiki's panties mmmmm
American incel comment
Because it's le sad and reflects on le death and that's le deep.
Looks like shit.
kys homosexual
soulless
soul
anyone else distracted by her barefoot scenes?
anyone else distracted by my foot inside your butthole?
what's the veredict? should I even bother watching?
I thought it was good even if I found the ending to be a little abrupt.
>even if I found the ending to be a little abrupt.
literally every miyazaki movie ever
True but it bothered me more in this one. The epilogue could have been slightly longer and I found the trauma plotline from the beginning of the movie to not be properly resolved.
I like the one with the house that could walk and the one with the pig in the airplane
I've only seen the Portuguese dub so maybe they are not as good in english
Yeah I'd put Howl's over GotF.
you must be gay or a woman
Actually moronic.
pseud, fireflies is a cheap sob story
Howl is a bad adaptation of a not so great book with an hamfisted antiwar message thrown into it that's handled terribly
it's a mess
All adults who watch cartoons need to be executed.
does this look like it's for children?
it's for teenagers.
sure adults can still appreciate it ( we were all young once) but it's still made for teenagers and their relative lack of experience with the world
>it's for teenagers.
Western entertainment is for wine aunts and homosexuals. The simple fact is anime made live action obsolete by the time 80s rolled around, and has dwarfed it entirely. This makes the americans go into a muttrage, but it is what it is. Live action is inherently an exhausted, obsolete medium.
why are Ghibli movies so boring?
because the plots are not good. mononoke and fireflies are the only ones with a decent structure
their philosophy is making the film as they go along they don't have the whole scripts figured out at the start so especially the climax/resolutions tend to be pretty underwhelming and not very satisfying
>inb4 hurr it's about the feelings and emotion not the story
frick off
>they don't have the whole scripts figured out
thinking back to the Ghibli movies ive seen, this makes so much sense. I'll keep it in mind if I ever watch another one.
>Mononoke
>decent structure
It was fun
Can we all at least agree Ponyo is the worst?
I still don't understamd why the little shit decided to flood the entire fricking planet
Ponyo is one of my favorites :/
KYSWDR
I like Ponyo!
I like the setup, the ending is awful
My younger brother Spirited Away, and despite the fact he generally gets bored by films, he loved it. Sorry op but if you can't recognize how good Spirited Away is then you are just chronically tasteless and have no sense of whimsy or fun or something
>My younger brother Spirited Away
brother WATCHED Spirited Away
I wish my younger brother would spirit away
>if you don't like x you have no taste because someone who doesn't like movies liked it
It's pretty good but kinda weird when fully grown adults obsess over it to be honest
I find it surprising western audiences respond that well to it when it relies heavily on knowledge of japanese folklore and the public bathhouse culture they aren't familiar with.
it's all ghosts and demons of course people won't relate to it on that level. we're just watching the pictures. you dont need to know anything
One of the very last pre 9/11 animation films. It came out on July 26, 2001.
americans really believe the world literally fell apart when a couple of their towers did
The backlash to the Iraq war led to troonyism/wokeism. You could say that bin Laden won in the end by destroying the world.
>bin Laden
It did. I'm sorry you're too young or stupid to see it.
God that cover is kino
Princess Mononoke is automatically the best because it's the only one that doesn't play into Miyazaki's fetish for airplanes.
Where are the planes in Spirited Away?
Chihiro is fricking ugly tbqh
Filtered hard
is it guibly or jibbly?
Mononoke may have higher highs but on the whole it's constructed worse and is consistently lower.
>on the whole it's constructed worse
lmao spirited away has no direction, it just meanders not knowing where to go
That IS its direction. It all feels very natural and fairy tale-like, except perhaps the very beginning and the very end. Mononoke has so much useless plot that fails to do justice to those very splendid elements in it.
Have you ever watched a proper encode? (or the BD)?

Bitrate makes a difference.
You'd be shocked how many people are perfectly satisfied with low quality streaming and such. Really ruins movies.
Yup. People think that if they can mostly make out what's happening in a scene, that's good enough. They don't understand the crispness, the clarity, the detail, and the way colors pop in a proper encode.
Never been into his movies really. Would rather rewatch Vampire D.
i can hear the music
>male protagonist
>film is instantly better
ghibli needs more epics like mononoke and nausicaa. no more little girls with magic please
Dim wits--bright enough to know something's happening, but too benighted to grasp more than a dark glimpse of what it is--become frightened, dogmatically preachy bullies, concocting simple-minded worldviews that they are desperate to batter into other people's heads to quiet their own inner confusion.
Miyazaki proved he's at least a generational talent for Japan by making princess mononoke and then he made spirited away a few years later and it's easy to watch so everyone in Japan watched it
It was pushed by Disney in the US so it was easy to praise him in the US at that point as well
for me it's Porco Rosso
Spirited Away is lovely but really need more structure. The third act is a disaster. Yubaba’s sister just shows up and then is gone in five minutes.
Spirited Agay
Kino'd away
Kino in the Sky is the best hands down, don't (you) me
princess mononoke > nausicaa > castle in the sky
the real top 3 I don't count grave of the fireflies because it's not fantasy and it's not even miyazaki
If anything, Princess Mononoke is the overrated one and Spirited Away is better.
what's gonna happen to japanese animation once he retires/dies?
How did you come up with your trans name?
For me it's Chihiro. Was going for a spirited away type thing. You know the whole going to another world thing. I think it's cute. My friends call me chii or Sen for short.
