Anything related to Studio Ghibli goes here.
>>4763965I'm not crying, you are.
>>4763966Best one, Story and Soundtrack
why is it so cozy bros?
>>4763995I wholeheartedly agree my friend>>4764006Idk but I like it
>>4763965I have never watched any of their movies but really like their aesthetic/art style. What films should I start with?
>>4764588probably something like Spirited Away or Howl's Moving Castledepends on what you want to see desuyou're going to be watching subbed, right?
>>4764848Thanks! And yeah, I plan to watch them with subs
>>4764588what >>4764848 said and I also recommend Tales from Earthsea
>>4765002>Tales from Earthseaisn't that regarded as their (second) worst? or do you want him to start with the worst ones so it only gets better?
>>4765004I recommended it because that anon said he liked the art style and imo Tales from Earthsea has pretty cool scenery in spite of its mediocre storytelling.
>>4765002>>4765105Added to the list, thanks
>>4765161if it's aesthetics you're watching for, don't forget Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
>>4765004It’s a cheap attempt to suck his dads dick and him failing hard. Just imagine being a titan of your industry and end up with useless, uncreating children.
less talking, more ghibli posting
>>4763995Every soundtrack that Joe made is perfect.
>>4764588My personal favourite is Princess Monoke so I'd start from this. Then maybe My neighbour Totoro. Sadly I was never a fan of Spirited Away but the 'One summer's day' is my no 1 song from their movies.
Watching old ghibli movies make me appreciate how they can make girl have their weak feminine side and still courageous in Spirited away and Castle in the Sky, unlike those modern woke trash movies where they just try to make a woman to be a man.
>>4765161>>4764588It's a large body of work with a variety of storytelling. Mostly it's kidsafe family stuff (often called "the Disney of Japan" for good reason).I'd warn "Grave of the Fireflies" is a borderline horror film, specifically designed to showcase the horror of war and especially the atomic bomb. It's NOT light watching for anyone. It *IS* highly recommended, but you probably want to watch something right after that (like My Neighbor Totoro) to decompress and find your happy place again.Apart from that, you're more likely to get a sugar overdose from some because they are targeted as children's movies. Still beautiful, but sometimes lack content to keep adults interested.Start here:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Studio_Ghibli_workshttps://ghiblicollection.com/pages/filmographyhttps://www.imdb.com/list/ls066662290/My recommendations for starting (roughly in order):Spirited AwayWhen Marnie Was TherePrincess MononokeSecret World of ArriettyKiki's Delivery ServiceWhisper of the HeartPorco RossoThey are not *all* of the best, just *most* of the best. IMHO, and I've not watched about half a dozen. Yet.Technically, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984) is not Ghibli, but it's one of my favorite anime of all time and it's clearly part of Ghibli history & origins:>Directed by Hayao Miyazaki based on his own manga; Produced by Isao Takahata; Featuring several of the animators and futures collaborators of the Studio. While not a Ghibli production it is generally considered the team's first production.BTW, if you like Nausicaä, there's this non-Ghibli related anime that is outstanding for it's story, art & somewhat similar theme:https://anidb.net/anime/6783https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_of_the_Sky(Sora no Woto in Japanese)
>>4765162>>4767291Thanks again!>>4767467Top-tier post, anon. Thanks a lot for taking the time. Given what you anons have said and based on your links and the reputation/reception of the movies, Spirited Away will be my first watch.
Just went to see this
>>4770146I personally am OKay with it?>I'm just a random lurker, FWIW that's my voteHOWEVER.Let's not be gross. Keep it tasteful, within reason. Please. A little bit of sexxo is always fun, but let's not get extreme or deep fetish about it. Quality counts, especially since we're in a Ghibli thread dedicated to some of the highest quality anime art ever produced.

>>4763979This is garbage. Skip or watch and don't expect it to be more than a derivative, incompetent attempt to copy his fathers style.
>>4767467>When Marnie Was ThereNot even top 15 Ghibli. Mogged by every single Miyazaki and Takahata film. Yonebayashi is a hack barely above Goro.
these are just words...right?
I think Porco Rosso and The Wind Rises both do an excellent job capturing the magic of flight and aviation. I love those two
>>4763965Is the new movie top tier?
>>4776687Honestly the best Ghibli film. It was perfection.
>>4769824What did you think? Quality of the art wasn't as strong as their past films, but I enjoyed the story and the dreamlike scenes. I'll certain rewatch it a few more times.
>>4779174Well I won't like it more than Mononoke but I will watch.
>>4763965Anyone got highres images from The Boy and The Heron yet? Saw it in theatres last Saturday with my girlfriend and it was fantastic.
>>4782418The dubs on Nausicaa and Arrietty are actually quite good. Patrick Stewart is in Nausicaa, and Ghibli has invested in solid voice actors/actresses for at least the last two decades. I personally prefer subs and original Japanese language, but shitting on dubs for Ghibli films is retarded. Arietty has two English dubs, one in American accented English and one in British by two entirely different sets of voice actors. The American dub is OKay to decent, about good. But the British one is pretty fucking good and well worth the experience.I also caution on Totoro: It's a great movie, quite magical and essential watching. But, it is directed at very young audiences. It's entertaining for adults, but best enjoyed with children rather than viewing alone. It's sometimes difficult to maintain full immersion as if being a seven-year old.I guess, while burning a post, I'll mention >>4773784; this is a retarded take. Marnie is a very solid Ghibli offering. It's a coming of age tale that is also a ghost story across time, with outstanding art and generally very realistic plot. I re-watched it just recently and it was even better on the re-watch (after about 5 or 6 years). There were maybe two scenes that were slightly forced and should have been done better (less monologue, more creative reveal of information to progress the plot). Overall, it's a standard Ghibli quality film, comparable to something like Spirited Away without the entire Japanese spirit world but still a bit of a supernatural thriller.
>>4782426No stills or screencaps from me, but here's the poster.
>>4782525sub > dub
>>4780275What? Why?
>>4779169Wait, what Ghibli movie is this from?
>>4787686Don't recognize the picture.
>>4790790I miss the 90s right now.
one of these seems it's an edit from the other or, at least, they both use the same source
>>4793856
>>4763981>>4763986>>4763988>>4764015Which one is this? I've never seen it before.My fav remains Valley of the Wind
>>4793858Tales of Earthsea by Goro Miyazaki.Nausicaa is still great but just like with Akira, it's a shame that Miyazaki had to cut like 2/3 of the manga story.
>>4793884Thanks. I've never read a manga before, but if I did, I think I would try Nausicaa.
>>4793884This might be a bit of a stretch, but can you see a working, quality torrent for Tales of Earthsea-Gedo Senki? I can't find any which is disappointing.
>>4794458Well, shit, thanks man.
>>4794224Nausicaa is just exceptional, it's understandable that Miyazaki didn't want to do much manga afterwards as it's painstakingly detailed. But story, character arcs, drawings, sense of action, etc. Everything is great. One of the best manga I've read no doubt, can't recommend it enough. Less iconic than say Akira but hardly inferior if in a totally different vibe.
>>4795933Very much like Sora no Woto >>4767467, it's a 'generic European' location. Most anime doesn't use a perfectly 'real' world, just a mash-up of elements that come from our real world with various fantasy modifications convenient for the story. Very common Japanese approach which is both a touch lazy (by stealing all sorts of real-world history & background that doesn't need to be re-invented) and something of a tribute & honor system to give a nod to Cool Stuff. There are so many anime plots that do that it's hard to stop listing them once you really get started.Nausicaa always struck me as located somewhere in Asia, but using European elements for technology and society. I'm not claiming I'm correct, but it sort of fits with modern Japan being so heavily Westernized that the story occurs after an apocalyptic war on top of a global environmental catastrophe ... which would be a fair bit in "our" future, so cross-pollination between Japan/Asian society with European elements would be a logical beginning place for the collapse that preceded Nausicaa by a few centuries, especially when you fold in the unusually advanced tech we see in Nausicaa that we don't have."The Valley of the Wind" (mountains) should also be a clue that it is the opposite of the Netherlands (below sea level). If it's in the Europe of our Earth, it's probably somewhere in the Mediterranean, like Italy, the Balkans, Greece, etc. Windmills are nearly universal globally for 3000+ years now.Sora no Woto offers different clues through uniforms, language, tech, architecture, etc. Definitely Europe (and Germanic on one side), perhaps Swiss/France deep in the mountains. Nausicaa leans much more fantasy, could be anywhere. Both stories specifically note that the seas are dead & poisoned. The fact that ANYONE is alive is pure fantasy with that plot point established as canon.
Nausicaa is my favourite Miyazaki film that is his own properties, and was the success that allowed him to start his own studio.My favourite animated movie of all time, though, is the earlier Lupin III and the Castle of Cagliostro ... which, among all the Lupin capers, has the most Miyazki magic in it.
>>4796345I watched New World Pictures' cut of Nausicaa, entitled "Warriors of the Wind" on HBO so many times ... this was the box art they had made for the VHS in the US.
>>4796345
>>4795933I believe it's the Caucasus Had to make the image like this to be able to post it. It's the only Nausicaa map I have
>>4797689Yeah pretty much. Looks like the world has also been affected by sea level rise
>>4794590>>4793884Well, I'm convinced to give it a go. I bought the box set. Will be good to read this by the fire when I go camping soon.
>>4797820It is on Max.

>>4801034These are cool, thanx
>>4776687>>4779174Saw it in a small theatre with my girlfriend and fuck yeah it was. Hadn't been to an indie theatre ever, or any others for years. It was well worth the trip, even in a shitty economy with inflated prices.
>>4817553thank you anon this is beautiful, spirited away is my favourite ghibli's film
>>4793856Fuck yeah, mononoke is the best
Beyond the unhelpful answers of 'anime' or 'Studio Ghibli', is there a particular name for this sort of art style?
Nausicaa (/nɔːˈsJkJə/; Ancient Greek: Ναυσικάα, romanized: Nausikáa, or Ναυσικᾶ, Nausikâ [nau̯sikâː]), also spelled Nausicaä or Nausikaa, is a character in Homer's Odyssey. She is the daughter of King Alcinous and Queen Arete of Phaeacia. Her name means "burner of ships" (ναῦς 'ship'; κάω 'to burn').In the Odyssey she ahs the name "burner of ships" and in the anime she burns airships.
