I'm a big Takahata fan, Only Yesterday is one of my all time favs. But Whisper of the Heart is really great too, RIP Yoshifumi Kond. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Great: Kaguya > Whisper > Fireflies
Good: Yesterday > Pom Poko Fine: Marnie > Poppy Hill > Cat Meh: Yamadas > Waves > Earwig > Arrietty Bad: Earthsea Had to include Goro's movies in my rankings just so everything else could look better by comparison. (Or worse in some cases, I suppose.) --- Congrats to 2020 GotD Guru champ azuarc! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Whisper of the Heart was amazing. Felt like such a magical experience. Only other one I've seen is Marnie, which was fine but couldve been a lot better.
I tried to watch Only Yesterday too but I gave up after ten minutes. It felt like a movie made to appeal to nostalgia that meant nothing to me. I checked out when the main girl started reminiscing about The Beatles. Plus I hated the art style and how it made her age fifty years every time she smiled. --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** (On mobile) ...

Kaguya would probably be winning this handily if more people watched it.
Me included lol. I see it called one of if not the best Ghibli movie a lot nowadays. --- https://i.ibb.co/Twbb1b6/20240223-211737.jpg https://youtu.be/qj9p6IFSlnk?si=cZ5L4OPM0TjVjwCD ... Copied to Clipboard!

Since it didn't make the cut I also want to insist that people check out Iblard Jikan which would be in my top 3 here (very high praise). It's definitely not for everyone, being an experience that many could argue doesn't even count as film, but I adore it. Also those Capsule music videos animated by Studio Kajino (ghibli subsidiary) are pretty great actually. Anyway Kaguya for sure. Grave of the Fireflies is just an inferior take on the subject matter presented compared to barefoot gen and in this corner of the world, Only Yesterday is actually great, Ocean Waves is... decent, I suppose, but also ultimately forgotten for a reason, Pom Poko is trash, Yamadas is worthless, Whisper of the Heart is also great but only really the third best here, Cat Returns has moments but falls apart in the ridiculously rushed conclusion, Arrietty is perhaps the most underwhelming take on the Borrowers ever which is impressive given where the bar is at, and Marnie... I honestly remember very little of Marnie which is perhaps a pretty bad sign for the most recent one here. Through its many flaws, Kaguya was a film that moved me more than a vast majority of other media. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I guess I find Ghibli movies profoundly beautiful 80% of the time, and painfully boring the other 20%. --- azuarc wasn't even home. he was playing Magic the Gathering at his buddy's store, which is extremely easy to verify ...

I feel like I need to rewatch Whisper of the Heart.
Seems to be really popular, but I watched it years ago when going through a bunch of Ghibli films and I remember nothing of it. Don't even remember if I liked it or not. It left no lasting impression. I actually checked it out from the library recently thinking I hadn't seen it but reading the back plot summary brought back just enough memory to make me realize I had. Just ended up returning after that. --- "Hope is allowed to be stupid, unwise, and naive." ~Sir Chris ... Copied to Clipboard!

It definitely did not blow me away.
I came out of that string of movies with Nausicaa, Castle in the Sky, and Porco Rosso as the clear stand-outs (of the ones I hadn't seen before). Whisper definitely didn't hit like those for me. --- "Hope is allowed to be stupid, unwise, and naive." ~Sir Chris ... Copied to Clipboard!
