        nta but here is an explenation for you. miyazaki is boring homosexual. all his movies have is humans le bad nature le good, but that wont give them depth. Spirited away is the worst offender, because its his personal fetish movie of little girl being closed in a brothel and getting pimped by japanese demons. You like it only because you are dumb westerner and dont see this.
        The spirit land is also boring, but thats more of a fault of japanese as a whole.
        His other movies are no better. Mononoke is kinda nice but but simping for that deer b***h in the forest is tiring. also mononoke is a c**t
        naushika is moronic version of mononoke.
        tldr. frick you and frick ghibli.

            He absolutely has a point if you took the time and watched all of his movies. His characters are as one dimensional and dry as they come. It's why no one remembers any of their names.

              You don't watch Ghibli movies for the characters. It's the broad themes, the animation and the general craft.

              It's like judging Citizen Kane for not having MCU quips and shit to break up the tension.

                The frick kind of comparison is this. Who said anything about quips and how does that equate to the criticisms in these other movies? I'm thinking it doesn't.

    western animators that care about making a good film aren't the people that try to make it look overly good. For multiple reasons that is, but only the japanese have this sort of mindset that is quite evident when interacting with their work culture.
    The bad western animators only chase movement and not film, and they will sacrifice sobriety for the sake of not boring the moronic viewer, think of all this tweening animation shit on live character that deprives them of any semblance of life.
    Truly what is most despicable in western animation (and that started to contaminate japan) is this will to make their characters jump around like spergs, and go to stupid lenghts of ugliness to make their characters do stupid gestures, giving western animation this weird feel.
    Also there is this key animation shit, it can obviously look good sometimes, but in tv shows it just turn out to be a vain succession of poses that feel so out of place.
    The best practice I would reccomend as a fellow animator is either to draw in straights in the final framerate for full expression of art and talent, or work in a regular (at least for each layer) framerate and adapt the poses to it (like draw in 4s, 6s 8s, and so on) and then draw the inbetweens, I think thats what respects life the most as in its not looking to be overly dramatic, its very organic, and it's also a great practice to get a consistent and visually decent end result.
    It's also very useful for editing.

      too fueled by spite for its own good. This was only made because Katzenberg was bitter with Eisner and wanted to dethrone the Disney Renaissance, so he was like "i'm gonna make a 2D musical like Disney, except violent, graphic, without humor, featuring only human characters, and based on a theme Disney likes to avoid : religion. That will show them". It didn't come from the heart

                the funny thing about contrarians is that they're literal NPC's. they have no objective sense of taste. If Ghibli movies weren't famous all over, they'd be recommending them around as masterpieces. This is why contrarians aren't human, they have no objective filter, nor an ability to analyze things rationally. Their entire personality is defined around standing apart from the crowd. Their sense of judgement literally begins with "I need to look special and unique", therefor they have no door to critical thought or any kind of objectivity. They're just narcissists.

                you're not even human to begin with to me. you don't operate by the basis of logic. your tastes are defined by what people like. there's people who flock to things along with the crowd, and there's people who go in the opposite direction just to be apart from the crowd. they're both driven by the same logic, except the latter is made of midwit monkeys like you who are under the illusion they're above the curve. this isn't vague or opaque, it's crystal clear. deep inside you, you know it's true. if your favourite works were popular and lapped up by everyone, they wouldn't be on your list. there's no objectivity in this kind of taste filtering, only forum brainwashing.

    > Hunter x hunter also pretty kino
    > Neon Genesis Evangelion with movie ending is gigakino
    > Attack on Titan but it got kinda meh
    >Death note but only up to Ls death

      >Miyazaki, mostly pure kino aside from 1-2 which were okay
      These are entry level shit you grow of although Castle of Cagliostro is still a masterpiece but only because the franchise is based in general.
      >Hunter x hunter also pretty kino
      Watch YuYu Hakusho which is even cooler
      >Neon Genesis Evangelion with movie ending is gigakino
      Macross and Serial Experiments Lain. Evangelion is overrated.
      >Attack on Titan but it got kinda meh
      Trash
      >Death note but only up to Ls death
      You've nailed it.

      I recommend
      Monster
      Casshern Sins
      Cowboy Bebop
      Ashita no Joe
      Rose of Versailles
      Legend of the Galactic Heroes
      Trigun
      City Hunter
      Rurouni Kenshin
      Samurai Champloo

    Here's my ranking of Miyazaki Kino. They're all really close to each other so it does not mean one is much much better than the other

    >Spirited away
    It's the most basic choice but it's just really beautiful and expressive as frick. The atmosphere is fricking fantastic
    >Mononoke
    Gigakino but the ending is meh so it's not flawlessly executed
    >Porco Rosso
    Comfy world, PLANES, wallpaper galore. Story is comfy but nothing special
    >Howls castle
    Beautiful romance story, if you're into that shit it's perfect, but for me it's missing some greater meaning. But it's beautifully made
    > Castle in the sky
    Awesome adventure, feels really old-school (and it is). But nothing exceptional
    > Nausicaa
    Really interesting world, it's also cool to scifi the approach to scifi. But the theme and plot is as basic as it gets
    >Totoro
    I really don't get the hype. I mean it's for kids, but still. Being so revered and the mascot I honestly expected more
    >Ponyo
    Honestly it's really cringe at times. Also ponyo is fricking annoying

    That's all that I've watched so far. Should I watch Kiki? Or something else from the newer stuff?

    • 2 years ago

      If you didn't watch Takahata's works in Ghibli then you should watch them. Also Mimi wo Sumaseba. Ghibli is hardly just Miyazaki.

    Japan has surpassed the west on every single field and aspect. Just imagine being born in Japan. Your first school trip was to some onsen in Hokkaido. Your first kiss was at the karaoke with some cutie. You joined the baseball bukatsu and have girls preparing onigiris for you. You get private rooms at good restaurants with your friends and drink and eat good food all night. It's so safe you don't have to worry about packs of latin americans or blacks killing you. You finish the night at a love hotel with some cutie.

    I noticed western animation seems to be trying to pass of simple slightly shit design. It all started with things like Chowder and FlapJack where there was just a shitty backgronud that didn't mesh with the characters. And then adventure time with simple designs for everything. I've seen pics of Steven Universe, never watched it because it just looks so ugly and disgusting. I remember as a kid watching animated batman and spiderman and looking back it looks so much better than the stuff now.
