I did enjoy Princess Mononoke, but I watched all the ghibli films pretty much in one go, and it didn't exactly stand out among them.

Presonally, I much prefer spirited away, and it's my favorite movie of all time.

The Nausicaa movie was bad. I'll say it. It's just acceptable on its own, but it can't even be compared to it's manga counterpart. I have it quite low on my list of Miyazaki's films. (And Kaze no Tani wasn't Ghibli)

Personally I prefer Sword of the Stranger, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and a few others, but it was okay.

Mononoke is probably the best animated movie ever made, indeed. Miyazaki himself wouldn't agree to that though because he hates the movie and considers it doesn't reflect what he wanted to convey (plus he's a humble guy and would probably cite "Le Roi et l'Oiseau" or a Youri Norstein movie as his favourite). On the other hand, the film became much more than what it was supposed to be with the involvement of Toshio Suzuki as a very active producer (especially regarding the scipt - and don't forget that he chose the title of the movie, Miyazaki wanted to call it "The Legend of Ashitaka" -), the animation directors Masashi Ando & Yoshifumi Kondo's last contribution just before his death and of course Joe Hisaishi who almost wrote the ending of the movie against Miyazaki's will (in Miyazaki's ending, Lady Eboshi was supposed to die and San to live with the humans). On the whole though, the movie is much better than any other directed by Miyazaki and represents the very best of what modern Japanese cinema can offer.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

It's my personal best anime movie, among those that I have seen : Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, the first 3 movies of Kara no Kyoukai, Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Wolf Children, Hi no Tori movies, Mind Game, Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo, Sword of a Stranger, Summer Wars, 5 centimeters per second, The Garden of Words. I think it is objectively superior among these movies. The best from these are, by a huge margin, Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo, 5 centimeteres and Mind Game ,with the others remaining being plainly fine and mediocre, and Princess Mononoke is 2 levels higher than these 3, in imagination and execution. It's a dark and tense tale, on a enchanting world, with very-appealing characters and a definite and concrete plot. It's a near-perfect movie.

* I think that Spirited Away is waaaaay too overrated. It is different and fine, but it is incosistent at the end, and the plot is formed by a chain of random events. So, there's no way that's better than Princess Mononoke.

* I have yet to see Nausicaa, Laputa and Ghost in the shell. I think these are the only three movies that can surpass Princess Mononoke. All the other seem life-less and boring compared to it.

You're joking, right? I don't watch that many anime movies and I still have 20 on my list with a higher rating. The main characters were lacklustre, the end was disappointing and it just wasn't that interesting.

It one of the few Ghibli films I can re watch over again, and not get a little sleepy half way through it. It definitely the more violent out of the films. If I was comparing it to other ghibil films it would be near the top 3. but to other anime movies I don't know I may have to reserved that for the hilarious disappointing Blue Flames.
Going to take me a couple of days to come up with a sig, as worthy as my last one.

2. the Madoka Magica movie trilogy

4. Macross: Do You Remember Love?
5. Patlabor 1 & 2/Ghost in the Shell (tie)
No Ghibli. I'm not anything close to being a fan of Miyazaki or Studio Ghibli, and I think all Studio Ghibli films I've watched so far are overrated. Studio Ghibli is Japan's equivalent of The Walt Disney Company in terms of the kind of animated films both of them do: family-friendly summer movies with huge budgets and simple, yet somewhat "meaningful" plots that are hailed by normies as masterpieces. I think I might just watch Totoro or Laputa tomorrow just for the sake of adding something as my hundredth completed entry on my list, and then rating it a 1/10 just for teh lulz.

Just a piece of pretentious drivel made by Miyazaki; he should just simply crawl out from under a car port and wither out in the sun like the miserable earthworm that he is.

If I was to make a parody of the angry Internet guy, I couldn't do a better Job than you just did with that xD
People like you actually exist xD... Amazing to me. You're like an alive caricature
Props^^


I hope Miyazaki did apologize for whatever harm he caused you, my dude xD.... Seems to me like he did something horrible to you.

Oh wait....he doesn't know you're existing .... Nevermind.
