Spirited Away is the worst I have seen from gibli aswell as a contender for worst anime I've ever seen period but Grave of the Fireflies and Tonari no Totoro are also exeptionally bad and deserves a dishonorable mention.

I don't like Miyazaki at all as a person so I refuse to watch any of his shit. So all movies directed by Miyazaki because he is an arrogant prick.

Pom Poko and Howl's Moving Castle (maybe not the worst, but overrated as heck)

I'm not far from being a big fan of Ghibli and for their films my ratings go from "i appreciate" to "absolute masterpiece", except for Pom Poko i didn't really like (i didn't dislike it either but "meh") and the Yamadas that I didn't even manage to finish lol

how can people in this thread really be naming ponyo, mononoke, grave of the fireflies, etc as bad movies holy shit lol. the only valid answer to this question is earthsea or ocean waves (or maybe the new one which i havent seen).

Perhaps because if they dislike Ponyo, Mononoke Hime, or Hotaru no Haka, they aren't likely to go out of their way to even see Ged Senki or Umi ga Kikoeru which are both considered some of Ghibli's worst films.

You guys made me realize Ghibli has a lot of not so good movies to their name. Earthsea lacked substance, Ponyo? never saw that. Ocean Waves isnt great. I did not like Porco Rosso but I would not call it bad.

I will go with Earthsea.

it's Marnie

i haven't bothered with Miyazaki's son though. apparently he's able to do something even worse

also Ocean Waves is good

Of those movies which usually are considered "good Ghibli", the one I like least is
https://myanimelist.net/anime/21557/Omoide_no_Marnie
because it feels like a UK teenager novel story, not like Japanese Ghibli at all.


who the fuck considers marnie to be good ghibli?

Grave of the Fireflies.
I've been told it's "the saddest" but it's pointless and not half as touching as people make it out to be.


It's more poignant when you're aware it's actually an autobiographical story / based on the real experience of the writer. The girl in the movie is the writer's real life sister, and it's relating real experiences people had at that time. That is the point.

However possibly the fucking dumbest actual complaints I've ever heard about the movie are

I AM aware that it's a true story. And that's really my point. It doesn't really touch my heart as some other war movies do. Famine really was nothing out of the ordinary in a war zone, it's more hard than sad, at least to me. My view is kind of different from others possibly because I'm living in a country that was colonized by Japan, I studied in a school that had the sports field turned into a massacre zone of my race. Some old relatives of the students still having a hard time accepting any donations or sponsorships from Japanese companies, it's hard to even ask them to stop bugging the new generations since they're clearly not part of the old era anymore. It's still hard to accept that without the atomic bombs having dropped on you-know-where, I wouldn't even have the chance of being born to this world. It's a little bit heartless, but it's really hard for me to have any compassion for japanese war movies.

So far, I’ve seen Laputa, Ponyo, Howl’s Moving Castle, and Princess Mononoke. Mononoke is by far the worst Ghibli movie I’ve ever seen, and one of my least favorites in general.

I haven't seen Howl but it has given me the impression of being a complete monstrosity. Totoro never tried to do anything, just agressively boring substanceless crap.

My Neighbors the Yamadas without a doubt. It's the only Ghibli film a completely dislike. The rest were at least enjoyable to some extent, but this one was just boring, poorly animated, and doesn't even feel like a Ghibli film.

In fact, just for the hell of it, here is how I rank all the Ghibli Films from worst to best:

21 - My Neighbors the Yamadas
20 - Pom Poko
19 - The Tale of Princess Kaguya
18 - Tales From Earthsea
17 - Porco Rosso
16 - The Wind Rises
15 - The Secret World of Arrietty
14 - Ponyo
13 - Only Yesterday
12 - From Up On Poppy Hill (everything from here down I rated 8 or higher)
11 - Howl's Moving Castle
10 - Whisper of the Heart
9 - Laputa: Castle in the Sky
8 - Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (I consider this a Ghibli film, even though it technically isn't)
7 - Grave of the Fireflies
6 - When Marnie Was there
5 - The Cat Returns
4 - My Neighbor Totoro
3 - Kiki's Delivery Service (The top 3 I rated a 10 out of 10)
2 - Spirited Away
1 - Princess Mononoke (I consider this the single greatest anime movie of all time)

Pom Poko. It seemed fine at first then became....pretty odd, even understanding the cultural context wasn't enough.

"Objectively speaking" it might be Tales from Earthsea.

Ocean Waves was pretty meh to me. Not bad, but the characters are rather weak and the female MC is annoying with her petulant behavior. Visually it is fine, but also nothing too special.

I also remember disliking The Cat Returns, but that movie needs a rewatch.

I wouldn't say it's the worst but I was disappointed by Howl's Moving Castle.
So many Plot holes and I had quite a few problems in the story as well. I don't understand how that shit's rating is so high. Aside from the Animation and Soundtracks, the characters as well as the story is pretty much shit.
Princess Mononoke might be the best film from Ghibli I've seen and it's not even that great tbh.

I haven’t seen aya to majo so I think it’s the worst one but the worst ghibli movie I’ve seen is porco rosso. Usually I love Miyazaki’s work but this movie was so boring I turned it off 20 minutes in. One day I am probably going to finish it but yeah. Also way to many people are choosing grave of the fireflies. That movie had me crying like a baby

I personally think it's The Ocean Waves, although it's not technically a full movie, but it's Ghibli, so I think it's close enough. One of the most boring anime I've ever got through.

If we're talking about actual movies that are marked as movies in MAL... Maybe Ponyo, but I think it's still pretty good.

Mine's Howl's Moving Castle. Their feels like there's something missing in the story that's not explained. It's got good artwork and unique characters but that's it.

Objectively, probably Gedo Senki, tho I think the main idea was good, it was badly executed.

"My neighbours the Yamada" however bored me to sleep, but that's more of a subjective thing.

Aside from Tales from Earthsea and Eadwig and the witch, the two films that I haven’t seen, I’d say that Ocean Waves deserves to be brought up in conversation, so bland, pointless and boring film in many aspects.

Also a few people cleverly mentioned Grave of the fireflies simply for giving them trauma, but you just gotta give that film credit for being a crowning achievement of Anti-war films

I do not remember quite well Coquelicot-zaka kara and Omoide Poroporo but they were ok.
I did often check the clock on Kaguya-hime no Monogatari and Kaze Tachinu because I was really bored so my votes goes to Kaze Tachinu.

@Jackof-allspades Honestly I forgot if they kiss or not but it does end off on a stupid quote the male mc says as a still frame of the female mc fades out so close enough I guess. It just really surprised me how Studio Ghibli of all things managed to create the most average romance anime known to man.
