Baby's first anime.

They are like disney films if disney films were good and made by Japanese.

>am i missing something?
Yes.

OP here, what are the best movies by this studio?

>aimed at women
I assume you've never touched anything aimed at women ever.

He has probably touched himself

Nausicaä
Porco Rosso
Howl's Moving Castle

thanks

It's generally aimed at children and adults. Teens enjoy it less. You'll like it more once you grow up.

They're not childish, they're just not exclusively adult. Narrative, visuals, and direction are usually top notch to boot.

Only Yesterday
The Tale of Princess Kaguya
Grave of the Fireflies

Very few people know to appreciate Ghibli films for how far above they are in quality compared to the mediocre tv anime that Sup Forums praises daily.

They're mysterious animes from the exotic east that are family friendly.

Good music makes everything better.

I think you need a brain surgery for real.

It's pretty true. Saw totoro around 5

nice recommendation thread faggot

Animation. It's so rare in anime, whenever it happens it gets praised universally.

Correct as fuck.

>Howl's Moving Castle
Nah, that one is shit. The others yes

>Grave of the Fireflies
Garbage.

>Howl's Moving Castle
No.

Grave of the Fireflies is acually a masterpiece of film in general, and surpasses anime as a medium. It's transcendent.

Yes, you are gay.

Just watch Whisper of the Heart, Nothing else is really needed.

Ocean Waves is the only bad Ghibli movie

GHIBLI POWER RANKING

Ponyo
Howl no Ugoku Shiro
Neko no Onegaishi
Umi ga Kikoeru
Omoide no Marnie

Also, any TV show or movie directed by Isao Takahata before Ghibli is automatically either kino tier or god tier. They're that good.

Simplicity, unpredictability, art design and fantasy settings that stimulates your curiosity.
They are aimed at children plain and simple.

Forgot to put Omoide Poroporo in the God Tier.

>Arriety in the same tier as WOTH.
Take it back.

Make me.

Just dropping in to say that i think Porco Rosso is the best one but if you disagree that's okay.

What makes them good is seeing girl's underwear.

The very talented individuals who contributed towards making them.

kid's movies. watch more anime.

All anime is for children. It just depends on the variety.
Ghibli movies are for actual children.
Stuff like Ghost in the shell or K-on! are for manchildren.

Maybe you should go read a book since you're so wooried about "maturity."

I love Porco Rosso, but the ending feels really abrupt. Other than that, it's pretty great.

Faggots

>They seem childish and aimed at women
They appeal to the little girl in all of us, user.

>shitting on ghibli

Ghibli films have fantastic visuals, prior to Mononoke they were completely hand-drawn and animated. Everything is on-model, the environments are detailed, and Miyazaki taps into visual motifs from across cultures and history.

The stories are also almost completely filler. It's funny that plebs shit on slice of life stuff like eating, cleaning, taking baths or going to the bus stop as "filler" in TV anime but it's the main attraction for many Ghibli films. Add that with a sense of magic or supernatural surrealism and you get the immersive quality of his films.

Ghibli is far from "Japanese Disney" (that's Toei), but Miyazaki himself really is about as close to Walt as anyone else has come.

The hell do you mean "the stories are filler"

>Miyazaki himself really is about as close to Walt as anyone else has come.
Yeah, except Miyazaki can actually draw worth a damn.

Does Disney have any animation credits on his major films?

>It's funny that plebs shit on slice of life stuff like eating, cleaning, taking baths or going to the bus stop as "filler" in TV anime but it's the main attraction for many Ghibli films
Context matters

>The stories are also almost completely filler.

Disney just distribute the movies

He was more of a character designer. for instance, he designed Mickey, but Ub Iwerks was the one who animated him. Anyways, early Disney films are beautiful.

yes they are, I much prefer it over the CGI meme

Your just dead instead, no worries

It really doesn't. Scenes that don't directly advance the plot are there simply to focus on the characters being themselves. Only in the autism area, where everyone is classically conditioned to have ADD, are scenes like this derided as filler.

In Totoro and Kiki's case, there isn't much of a plot to advance. And that's what's great about them.

Agreed, those first five or so features have a special place in my heart. He was a good businessman and innovator too, I think. But not so great an animator as Miyazaki, and I would say less imaginative.

Disney was frustrated by his lack of early success and basically had to cave in to audiences for Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. He didn't want to do the fantasy thing anymore after Snow White. Dumbo being a huge success despite being cheap was also disillusioning. Never again will films be made on the level of '40s Disney.

>Spirited away not in god tier

Otherwise, perfect list, but Nausicaa is so fucking good I would put it above God tier really.

Kiki's delivery service is unironically one of my favorite films
It's just so beautiful and happy

>cave in to audiences
>Sleeping Beauty

Sleeping Beauty is probably the Disney film closest to the Gothic style of the original fairy tale, rivaled only by Hunchback of Notre Dame. It was a flop because there were no talking animals or many song numbers. Shit was operatic.

That's my point, in TV those scenes are usually there because they have time to fill in that episode, aka literally filler. Sometimes it's just a cheap way of not having to animate people if you just animate the food on the table or whatever.

In a movie with less restrictions and better budget, it's there for characterisation or mood.

Hunchback wasn't very good though. It's pretty watered down compared to the novel. Maybe even the most watered down adaptation they ever put out.

You two forgot one

They're just really beautiful.

They recapture a childish sense of fantasy and wonder.

>marnie in shit tier
get a load of this guy

They got character unlike 99% of the trash that Sup Forums likes.

Yeah, that movie fucking sucks.

Mononoke-hime was probably the first movie I watched when I was kid that had me questioning what evil is. It blew my fucking mind more than any Disney movie with their clear cut sense of good and evil could ever do.

underrated

I wouldnt rank Totoro as god tier. It's pretty bland actually.

Watch it again

First time I've ever agreed with one of these. Good job.

Why do people hate Marnie?

It's boring with a shitty maudlin story. Over-reliance on sentimentality has always been seen as a hallmark of weak writing. Also, too much crappy CGI.

>It's pretty watered down compared to the novel.

They sanitized Quasimodo, Esmerelda and Phoebus but made Frollo more evil than any other villain before and after. Hugo's novel was not a good/evil story, but that's what Disney sought to make, since all movies in that decade had simple morality tales at their core.

Hunchback is probably the 3rd best Disney film of that era, behind Lion King, Beauty and the Beast and ahead of Aladdin. But it had the potential to be the best animated film of all time, which isn't a fair standard to judge what we actually got.

How to be the ultimate contrarian Sup Forums style:
>step 1
Make a ghibli tier list
>step 2
Put grave of the fireflies, nausicaa, and [insert any lesser known ghibli's] as tier 1
>step 3
Put spirited away, Totoro, laputa, and kiki below anything other than tier 1
>step 4
begin self masturbation

spirited away is without doubt Miyazakis magnum opus

Nah, putting Grave and Nausicaa as Tier 1 is the literal opposite of contrarian.

>begin self masturbation

The proper way is claiming Miyazaki's only good film is Lupin CoC and that he just got worse and worse after forming ghibli

>inserts memes instead of thought

Why do people not like Majo no Takkyubin more? I thought it is one of the best Ghibli ever.

Truer words have never been spoken

because the characters are boring and so is the story

summer in andalusia is about fucking cycling and is still better than kikis express

contrarians will deny it but as always they are wrong

Any of their works prior to and including Spirited Away are basically unparalleled in animation and art direction. At that point it just comes down to writing and personal taste.

>babbys first Ghiblu

>implying anime isn't already baby tier

no one think you're smart because you dislike what they like simply because they like it

they only think you're an idiot, and for all intents and purposes, they're right

yeah pretty much the best one

Ghibli is seriously overrated and way past its prime. All the newer films are basically typical Disney flicks, with high production value but little to no real substance.

There's a couple of older good ones, but sadly they are no longer capable of producing high quality anime. Doesn't help that Miyazaki is basically a bitter old man today and goes around shitting on other people rather than come up with anything decent himself.

post best songs

youtube.com/watch?v=ArsV7AFZBHY

The last I watched was From up on Poppy Hill and it wasn't bad but it was just so fucking generic and a story that Ghibli have done before that it ended up being disappointing.

Meme studio for babies and hipsters. In This Corner of the World was better than Grave of the Fireflies.

>From up on Poppy Hill
>watching non-miyazaki ghibli films
you only got yourself to blame

>>watching non-miyazaki ghibli films
Kaguya would be the best anime film of all time if it wasn't for Mononoke

They are shitty disney tier movies that appeal to mass audience, they are only praised because of animation.

Takahata is vastly superior to Miyahacky

You sound like a hipster.

The cat returns honestly is the most underrated anime of all, it has the same feel as old Disney movies. It wasn't anything specialbut it also did nothing wrong, solid movie shot for shot imo. It doesn't get any recognition because its not a Miyazaki or Takahata film

I don't really care for Ghibli any more but I wanted to see modern Ghibli and it wasn't good.

Wrong, my favorite parts are the direction, and for Takahata's films the writing. How does it feel to be objectively wrong?

Takahata and Whisper of the Heart are great.

I love Kaguya-hime but it's really not up to par with the other movies he has directed.
