none they're all overrated trash

Watch a gun and shoot yourself.

kiki's delivery service is the only good one

Howl's Castle Moving

I'd say Spirited Away or Princess Mononoke.

Don't listen to people like this
Kiki is for babies. It's only for the hardcore, actual japanese babies, and dumb contrarians.

Princess Monoke, it's the only one that really separates itself from the rest.

The two best are Mononoke and Spirited Away, with Spirited Away being slightly better

The others sadly don't come close, too childish or too edgy (Nausicaa)

Actual pleb spotted

Nausicaa

Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke

Nausicaa

princess mononoke has the best action and is pretty brutal, that's my personal favorite but spirited away is fantastic as well

Porco Rosso might be the only kino one..

mononoke is the only one you can really enjoy without being a weeb

Regardless of quality, Spirited Away is the most relevant and the most likely to come up in conversations about Ghibli so start with that. Princess Mononoke and Graveyard of the Fireflies should be next

Don't listen to these plebs. Watch The Wind Rises first.

These

Spirited Away seemed like the most kid aimed movie of all the Ghibli movies I have seen. I didn't enjoy it very much. I might need to rewatch it though.

i still had to watch that with headphones. i didn't want my roommate to think i was watching weeb shit.

Bad advice from an idiot.

Spirited Away sucks if you aren't 7 years old.

Grave first.

Porco rosso

I actually just watched Grave of the Fireflies and it was such a sad but lovely film.

In terms of pure imagination Spirited Away is fantastic.

My favorite is Castle in the Sky, but you could probably start with Castle of Cagliostro. Not technically Ghibli but it feels like one

Howl's Castle is shit

This. Ghibli in general is permavirgins will never understand core.

>Howl's Castle is shit
Fuck you.

Ponyo is very comfy but not the best one. Just depends on your mood

My Neighbor Totoro. That was Ghibli's big break through in the West and the movie most people saw first when they were kids. It's still their most popular, iconic, and accessible movie. Watch that and then watch the rest in order.

Disregard people saying super late in the game stuff like The Wind Rises and Howl's Moving Castle.

Start with Nausicaa. Even though it's not technically a Ghibli film, it's the first Miyazaki film that defines his distinctive style (Cagliostro is good, but not representative of later Ghibli works

And honestly, just watch all of them in chronological order, minus Ocean Waves which was a direct-to-TV movie. Even the bad ones like Tales from Earthsea and the raccoon testicles movie are worth watching once. And don't forget to watch The Red Turtle which is a French co-production with Ghibli, and Yonebayashi's new film with Studio Ponoc.

>Even the bad ones
talk shit
get hit

Spirited Away has solidified itself as the most popular (and my favorite) SB film although that isn't an indictment against his other films. Watch Spirited Away first, then Princess Mononoke, Castle in the Sky, and Howl's walking castle

Whatever the fuck you do don't binge them spread them out over your life to heal your soul.

Only yesterday if you want some nostalgiakino

shit forgot pic
its objectively the best movie about raccoons with magical nutsacks ever made

also how it's a brothel (all the spirits are men, opens at night, 'bath house')

Spirited Away is the most popular one for a reason. It's the only anime I've seen that I've loved

You rascal

porco rosso and howl's moving castle are probably the best ones.

Porco Rosso is legit one of the greatest movies ever made.

grave of the fireflies is bar none the weakest ghibli film.

the ascending into the clouds scene is one of my favourite scenes ever

Love this movie. Second in my opinion only to Howl's Moving Castle

pleb tier thinking

>Howls Moving Castle
pppppppfffffffffffffffffffttttttttttttttttttt
The movie turns to shit when she walks up the steps to the palace. It loses all pacing and the plot becomes convoluted. Transforming the main antagonist into the cute animal comic relief character is i think something that has never been done before and just such an absurdly bad choice. Sophie's transformation is never resolved. The romance plot is terrible. The pacifism is simplistic and juvenile compared to how it's handled in Mononoke or Nausicaa. The setting is cool but that's it. I think Ghibli adaptations of british novels; Marnie, Arrietty, Howls, all suffer from being culturally isolated from ghibli-ness. Ghibli films are intrinsically Japanese, in the same way that Over the Garden Wall is intrinsically American. Some of that cultural identity is just left behind when the source material is British. I think more romantic European setting Ghibli films like Nasu summer in Andalusia, and Porco, translate better.
Hayao didn't even want to direct it, it was slated for Hosoda who left at the last moment. Miyazaki was retired. It's the same situation as Jackson taking over from Del Toro on the Hobbit.

It's like, not bad, but for a Ghibli film it's pretty bad.

Princess Mononoke, then Nausicaa and Castle In the Sky

Nasu Summer in Andalusia
In this Corner of the World

what else?

Ghibli films are overrated as fuck. Princess Mononoke and Spirited away, and My neighbor Totoro to a lesser extent are the only ones with good replay value.

Nausicaa could've been great, if they removed all of the exposition and did a couple of shots from her point of view on the glider thing.
One of the few times I actually wanted a woman to stfu.

Porco Rosso needed to drop the dumb pigshit or make it that it's only in his head because of survivor's guilt or some shit and remove the American.
Should've focused more on him being a sadboi and trying to suicide by pirates even though he has a rich girl and loli after him.

The Wind Rises is just Miyazaki jerking himself off to more aeroplane shit. The character's are all forgettable and hard to give a shit about. He should've just focused on the engineering/political/business aspects of making aeroplanes during WWII.

>replay value
it's not a videogame

lol fair enough

>are the only ones with good replay value.
ehh i mean ultimately they are children's films so the fact they're worth even one watch is pretty special. Personally i'm looking forward to having kids and watching the dubs with them one day. I remember watching Mononoke in a big cinema when the dub came out, my first anime, and being just blown away by it. The art is their greatest strength though, and on that level that are absolutely rewatchable. Films to smoke to.

Castle in the Sky is one of the best paced films I've ever watched
