Don't get me wrong, I've seen a lot of his movies and they're very watchable. He has a lot of imagination that overflows in every single film, and he clearly has a penchant for fairy tale magic, and cute characters, but he doesn't seem to ever be able to make any of it gel together in a meaningful way. The man has never constructed a worthwhile plot to save his life, and even if his movies are for kids, the sentimentality and warm feelings always seems to drown out everything else.
He has talent, but he seems like he desperately needed someone else to reign him in.

Matthew Rogers
He is a level 10 director. There is no denying his mastery of kino.
Christian Sullivan
His laid back movies like Kiki's Delivery Service and My Neighbor Totoro are a lot like classic Disney movies like Bambi and Dumbo where it's mostly a lot of cutesy slice of life with a dramatic climax thrown in at the end (Bambi) and sometimes with some weird acid trip shit mixed in (Dumbo).
>the sentimentality and warm feelings always seem to drown out everything else
Which is literally the same as Disney movies, although Miyazaki has more range than Disney. I didn't find Princess Mononoke or The Wind Rises to be sentimental or warm.

>The man has never constructed a worthwhile plot to save his life
Spirited Away and Mononoke are both basically western style plots
Adam Flores
He fucking sucks. It's just that white people have zero taste in anime, so OF COURSE they're gonna suck the cock of the guy who panders to their tastes the most: the one who makes repackaged Disney shit.
Liking Miyazaki is one of the ultimate red flags in taste. It instantly tells you how much of a brainlet your conversation partner is.
Evan Rivera
Mononoke is far better than any western plot of this sort (Avatar). Why? Becouse there are no esentially bad people. The lady who rules Iron city needs nature to help her people. She hires outcast and sick people. Nature is not evil, but is not good either. And in Ashitaka and Mononoke dont stay together (even though they will be close "close").
Justin Thomas
He is trying to sweeten the pill of traditional values for a generation that is materialistic and weak and degenerate. He is a Quixotic hero whose very presence in this world seems out of place. As he himself has said, he is a 20th century man in the 21st century. That is why he is loved, because he is an heirloom from a time that has well and truly passed
Evan Adams
Yeah why can't we go back to the golden age when no one was materialistic like the 80s or the 50s? So fucking retarded
Austin Anderson
>there are no bad people so its good lmao This fucking meme needs to die. If your story has 'no bad people' because you're too scared to show moments of severity, desperation, cruelty, and viciousness, then you have no business being in the storytelling business. Shut the fuck up with this nonsense. The human struggle against violence, selfishness, and cruelty is what makes storytelling. Go watch Sicario if you want an actual good movie. Mononoke is wishy washy garbage and overrated drivel.
Cooper Bennett
His best film "Castle of Cagliostro" is pure kino and anyone who doesn't like Miyazaki should watch it.

Imagine the day a full cgi ghibli film is made it will either be the end or the start of something new and great
Caleb Clark
How about no? Ghibli produced their own CG series, and it's an absolute trainwreck. Japanese people just seem to be awful at CG in general.
Charles Scott
>full cgi ghibli film It'll be fucking terrible. CGI wouldn't fit the atmosphere Ghibli and especially Miyazaki movies tend to have.
Dylan Stewart
He made children's movies. The reason him and Satoshi Kon are known in the west is because their productions are easily accessible to western audiences, being in the film format as well as taking heaps of inspiration from western film.
Most adult-oriented stuff in Japan is within old OVAs from the rental era and post-evangelion television series.
Grayson Ross
The reason why to love Ghibli is because with them we can still get big budget 2D animated films that look like actual art instead of the ugly as shit 3DCG films we get here in the west.
Caleb Edwards
It's not so much about 'not having evil characters' as it is about understanding that the man vs. nature stories are often just hippie propaganda in the west. In the case of Avatar, it's especially egregious, because that movie was a giant technological feature about how we all need to just give up on civilization and be one with the Earth, man.
Princess Mononoke acknowledges that even something as basic as caring for the sickest and most vulnerable in society requires technology that might come at the expense of nature, something the millionaire hippie faggots making these movies in the west don't have the balls to confront.

Asher Foster
I always feel like Miyazaki films are lacking something. Maybe I'd be more into him if I had watched his films as a child. His films don't leave me thinking about them the way Satoshi Kon's and Anno's do, but they probably shouldn't because they're aimed at a different audience.

Japanese Walt Disney. His movies do the exact same thing which made Disney's early work so good.

Xavier Morgan
He's very good at creating an engaging story that kids can get swept up in. While adults are less likely to fall for this, they can at least appreciate the mastery and creativity on display, especially compared to the dreck that is most children's entertainment. Most of his work is aimed at kids, or at least families, but that doesn't mean that they can't be judged as 10/10s for what they are.

Jose Foster
I agree. They're fine, but they always seem to be lacking something. It's like that with a lot of anime, they aren't bad, but they lack a special quality to get the audience truly invested. They don't speak to the human experience beyond the superficial.
