The Wind Rises: underrated Poppy Hill: does anybody actually rate this? Howls: overrated Spirited Away: appropriately rated Mononoke: overrated Whispers of the Heart: underrated Flying pig: appropriately rated Kikis: overrated Totora: overrated La Puta: overrated Nausica: overrated Lupin: overrated (insult to the entire series outside of its visuals) Lupin III TV: underrated Future Boy Conan: criminally underrated
So, can we conclude that he is indeed a hack? Most of his movies have one thing, and one thing only: visuals finesse. Outside of that they very often lack memorable audio design (outside of Nausicaa), an endearing plot-line or characters that are more than just replaceable cardboard cutouts.
Charles Wilson
One thing I hate about Miyazaki movies are his mary sue washy washy heroines
James Bennett
>Poppy Hill >Whisper of the Heart not miyazaki's
Isaiah Brooks
He was involved enough, though.
William Sullivan
>So, can we conclude that he is indeed a hack? Most of his movies have one thing, and one thing only: visuals finesse. Pretty common problem in visual media: good artist think they are good writers by default. Hayao "Ooh, I love little girls they make me feel so good" Miyazaki
Charles Hughes
>Lupin: overrated (insult to the entire series outside of its visuals) What? He did the original series though. I don't get why nobody mentions the TV stuff that he directed/storyboarded/character designed/etc for. Has nobody here ever heard of Sherlock Hound? It's probably one of best TV animated series ever, without exaggeration.
Hudson Phillips
>Poppy Hill: does anybody actually rate this? That's the wrong Miyazaki, user.
Chase Richardson
Also, it was actually quite good.
Gavin Martin
Check the writer in credits.
Michael Torres
Because the best animated series he ever worked on is Heidi, and that's Takahata's.
Anthony Ward
It's an adaptation of a novel, and Miyazaki father only helped with the screenplay.
Aaron Richardson
In what way?
Jackson Bailey
Not that user, but in addition to flawless animation worthy a film production, Sherlock Hound is one of those old-school cartoons which, cartoon violence aside, don't assume the children audience is retarded and has adventure-movie like stories full of action with some bits of mistery.
Ayden Butler
> Sherlock Hound furry shit
Caleb Price
Cool blog bro
Leo Wilson
Poppy Hill was Goro Miyazaki
Ryder Bailey
That's such a stupid retort against a cartoon.
Cooper James
You forgot >Ponyo: underrated
Jason Nelson
Criminally underrated.
Xavier Garcia
...Are you saying that movies for literal children shouldn't have little girl protagonists?
What kind of fucked logic is that?
Isaiah Bell
The only one I'd call overrated is Howl's. The rest really are great movies.
Joseph Gomez
>Hayao "Ooh, I love little girls they make me feel so good" Miyazaki
Kind of ironic when he said in public how he hates lolicon (and lolicons)
Jose Price
He couldn't salvage his son's wreckage. I'm pretty sure he washed his hands of this film.
Juan Brown
>Kind of ironic when he said in public how he hates lolicon (and lolicons) He also says he hates himself and his works. Coincidence?
Aiden Sanders
this. anyone who doesn't like miyazaki is probably an edgy contrarian who likes death note
Levi Murphy
Nausicaa is his best movie. Underrated if anything. Also how come Future Boy Conan was never even got official subs when all his movies got dubs with big actors?
Jose Martinez
>Poppy Hill Wrong Miyazaki silly.
Owen Sanders
It was written by Hayao though
Gabriel Reyes
>Mononoke: overrated Shit bait.
Isaac Ortiz
>if you dislike whats popular you just dislike it because youre contrarian Guess pop and [insert whatever is at the top of the charts right now] is the pinnacle of music, the MCU is the pinnacle of cinematography, Beast by Dre are the pinnacle of audiophile gear and McDonald's is the pinnacle of western cuisine. I mean, if you claim otherwise youre just a contrarian who disagrees for the sake of disagreeing.
Ryder Allen
Spirited Away is also overrated. In the end Takahata was better.
Colton Murphy
Just because he wasn't directing doesn't mean that he wasn't heavily involved, silly.
Henry Parker
Because Conan is one of his only works that is well written, but, unfortunately, doesnt have dazzling visuals. It looks great for its time, but it doesn't have the beautiful backgrounds that are what sell his works. Which is a pity since it is his best work, but the average viewer wouldn't be able to see that because they wouldn't even give it a shot.
Kayden Ross
Come back when McDonalds is universally loved by food critics, and Beats critically acclaimed by almost every audiophile
Grayson Powell
Really. My impression is the opposite. The writing is completely unremarkable and I think the series kind of falls apart in the second cour when it focuses more on the story. The animation is notable not because it is fluid or detailed but because it is very lively and vivid. That is also the part of Cagliostro that stands out most.
Matthew White
>Poppy Hill: does anybody actually rate this? >Whispers of the Heart: underrated >Miyazaki What?
Bentley Barnes
He only directed the first episodes.
Jason Jackson
Why does this man trigger you so much that you need to shitpost about him all the time? The "anime was a mistake" thing is a meme, you know?
Landon Ramirez
>meme Yeah, these things usually show up for a reason.
Jack Cooper
Because hes hailed as the greatest ever when hes far from it.
Hudson Stewart
>Whisper of the Heart >the best Ghibli film >Miyazaki didn't even direct it
