Where the fuck is the appeal with ghibli seriously? I've watched a few of their films and it's just boring bullshit. I think your analogy of overglorified disney princess movies is perfect. Seriously can't understand why people care so much for these movies.

Spirited away was pretty kino tho

Its OK op a lot of people have autism and struggle to move on from their childhood "special interests".
Do you like Harry Potter? Maybe time to read another book series too while you're at it
And if you want to watch TV why not something other than The Office for a change? No, HIMYM doesn't count. Nor does Friends.

Dude, Pokemon 1-3 are some of the best animated movies ever made imo.

not funny didnt laugh

it's the least cringe of all the Ghiblis I'll give it that

Honestly explain to me why it is a good film. NO ONE can. All they can do is go on and on about "le epic comfy scenes" and "muh deep symbolism". Fucking shit tier meme movie

What do you mean? I mean, in its defense it's a charming-looking movie, and it's more about the girl's journey and just seeing what happens to her like Alice and Wonderland, not really a bigger story beyond that. That said, it's gay.

This guy swallowed a pretty big red pill right here.

Are any of the later pokemon films kino?

That's the the appeal though. It's a comfy, well animated movie with lots of symbolism and references to Japanese folklore. If you don't like that then you just personally dont like it, there's nothing else I can defend it with.

Destiny Deoxys is one of my favorites. Pokemon 4 is good animation-wise, still just as good as the first three, but I think the story and plot is weaker. The Lucario movie I think is alright. I kind of stopped watching the Pokemon anime all together after they changed the VAs. I think Deoxys is the only generation 3 movie that has Ash's OG voice AFAIK.
DD is kino though, I can vouch, although not quite as kino as the first few.

If you only saw the cucked Western version of the first Pokemon movie you really missed out.

That scene with the clones and the little girl at the beginning changed everything.

Porco Rosso is the only decent Ghibli film and that's only because it has a patina of western storytelling.

pokemon is capeshit marvel "trash for masses" for japs tho

Not to mention the postcredits scene of Ash and Misty's daughter left on the cutting room floor.

Where do I even begin with this ghoulish ESL abomination...

You don't know shit, the only reason why Pokemon is infested with so many furries is because the last two or three generations of games have been so fucking bad with so little content that there's nothing to discuss, so it's nothing but shill threads, bait threads, LARPing furfags and actual furfags, it's fucking hell. The last time /vp/ was functional was XY days with the PSS. It's been nothing but a shitfight ever since GameFreak didn't include the Battle Frontier in the Hoenn remakes.

Only Nausicaa was good because based Anno worked on it

Pokemon the First Movie (Mewtwo Strikes Back)
>we dreamed of creating the world's strongest Pokemon, and we succeeded

BROOOOOOOTHER, MY BROOOOOOTHERRRR

I know Pikachu was making a point, but I wish we got to see the Pikachu brothers darting around at high speed crashing into each other. I love when Pikachu puts his mettle to the test.

So in other words SG is cringe.

Imagine giving a shit about toy commercials or pleb shit. Penguin Highway was the best anime movie from the past couple of years, I think it's insanely relatable to every male who has ever existed.

>Imagine giving a shit about toy commercials or pleb shit.
I can't. We're talking about the first few Pokemon films in this thread. You probably haven't even seen one. Get your own opinions.

>Better aesthetic
What that's supposed to mean. How can you grade two "aesthetics" and put one over the other. I get that Steampunk is below everything, but what's with pokemon world vs ghibli that makes no sense

>Better animation
Yeah, but with overly simpler characters with one flat color and one shadow at most

>Better action
Maybe

>Better, more relatable characters
If you are a 12yo boy, sure. But if you are a 12yo girl, nah

>self-aware
What does that mean

>for boys and girls of all ages
I got bored to death with Pokemon

>OST
Just because of nostalgia and having ost from the anime you liked

I watched the first one in the cinema because I was a braindead kid at the time, buddy. That was also around the time I stopped giving any kind of a shit about Pokemon, after playing the old gibberish translation of Gold through an emulator while waiting for the game to get translated, I gave up on the series entirely.

>I watched the first one in the cinema because I was a braindead kid at the time, buddy.
Right. You'd probably appreciate them a lot more as an adult.

very subjective post, and as far as aesthetics, Pokemon looks just as good, and I was pointing out why Ghibli gets so much credit for being on-par or worse than Pokemon. Any time there's CG in a Ghibli movie it looks hideous too.
And as far as the score goes, the Pokemon films have a great original OST, nothing to do with games or anime, like the track posted in OP

I can't believe my parents took me to see this in theaters

This movie was sooooo damn good

The worst ghibli movie

>way better score
how can you do Joe dirty like that
shows what you know, ape

How the fuck was the lab scene so well animated?

That was from some music thing.

I watched everything up to the entei movie.

I liked the shout out to Minnesota when I saw the first movie as a boy because I am from Minnesota, and we are indeed vikings! Minnesota confirmed canon.

ghibli movies are overrated, but the pokemon movies range from mediocre to bad. i marathoned all of them after being out of the series for a while and holy shit if i could get my time back i would. the only good one was the entei one and most of that was thanks to based madhouse being on their a-game animation wise.

if you had said the mewtwo one, i'd agree but since you didn't i have to call you a retard with a seriously small brain

>better, more memorable characters
They are always the same character
>self-aware and not cringe
Lmao no
>for boys and girls of all ages, not Ghibli which is overglorified Disney princess movies
2D Disney princess movies are pretty great though so that's not an insult


Madhouse did Entei? Damn, I need to rewatch it

I don't get it, if you're circlejerking about animation, I'd say all Pokemon movies before they switched to the CG style are all equally well-animated and aesthetic.

my mistake, it was done by OLM like every other pokemon movie but 3 was notable for having a large percentage of madhouse staff behind it.

>Madhouse did Entei? Damn, I need to rewatch it
There's a reason the Entei movie is the most whacky one with no relation to that generation's games unlike the rest which are glorified ads.

>2D Disney princess movies are pretty great though so that's not an insult
Alright well thanks for rendering your opinion and this post null and void.

If you don't see merit in these movies if not just from the examples in this thread then I think you might be an NPC.

Snow White I'll give a pass because it's a work of art with each frame being hand painted, but beyond that it's a boring babby girl story nursery rhyme.
Beauty and the Beast is genuinely good though.
The other two are absolutely cringe, so try again.

Get dunked on.

Just because their target audience is young girls does not mean they can only be enjoyed by young girls.

t. brony

Better than pokemon movie ending where they literally just cry and then make up

You've already lost the argument, that's not what happens at the end of Pokemon and you know it. Or you've never seen it and are arguing about nothing.

Except it literally is. Ash turns into stone and they start crying then the fight ends and it's happy ending

>They are always the same character
Better to rejoin beloved characters than some cringey throwaway ones to explore some setpieces.

Plenty of adults like them back in the day. They just became girly through Disney marketing and merchandise. Look and Bambi, no one seems to remember the part where Bambi grows up and everyone seems stuck on cute fawn bambi

Yeah, because of Ash's sacrifice Mewtwo saw that humans weren't evil and realized that your choices determine who you are.
He realized that he had become what he hated, an oppressor, and had an epiphany. How smooth-brained are you? Everyone just started crying and got boo-boos and went home? Be quiet.

All of that is superior to
>DUDE MONSTERS THROWING ENERGY BALLZ
Nice of you to drop any claims on music, art, and animation

Literally that's what Pokemon pro tags are for, just see the new Pokemon Game Freak wants to promote

music, art, and animation are subjective so there is no reason to debate them

This. Johnny Test is the pinnacle of animation imo

>DUDE MONSTERS THROWING ENERGY BALLZ
No? Again, you're just being a woman and making false-equivalencies instead of arguing. Pokemon isn't about humming energy balls, even when the Pokemon were fighting, they were fighting over ideals.
Clones vs "Real" Pokemon, and the Pokemon duplicates fighting each other for a manufactured blood-feud instead of for sport and friendship.
Not even sure what you're arguing against. You're just making shit up and hate Pokemon for being corporate? Me too, I'm not shilling whatever current feces they're spewing out, but the original Pokemon films are masterpieces of animation, period. Keep seething about Ghibli being mediocre and being tricked by marketing into thinking they're good.
I used to be like you and think Pokemon was gay and it was just nostalgia until I watched them recently and really appreciated the environments and the care put into bringing the world to life. Very much unlike movies of today.

Many people criticise this, but I really love the structure of Ghibli movies.

They generally -have climaxes- but Miyazaki/Takahata both tend to lose interest in building tension before the climax arraives. Or rather, they reject the stakes that they have originally set out as the films plot and replace them with the emotional issues and character development which actually interest them.

In Spirited Away, after Chihiro leaves on the train, everyone is basically on her side. And she hasn't escaped the world, or rescued her parents, but the film doesn't press home the 'thrill' of her doing either of those things as a conventional climax. It's like the climax is given to her character rather than the plot.

The same thing happens in Porco Rosso. There's this big climactic fight but it turns out to be immensely silly and instead of actually ramping up to something exciting, we're left with something poignant.

Normally films do that, turn it all down, give a moment to the characters and a goodbye to the world of the film, after the climax, but Ghibli films, very deliberately, do it -before- the climax.
I've always found typical climaxes to be anticlimactic, especially in very good films where they have so much to live up to. And then, for the epilogue of the film to be self indulgent and overstaying its welcome. But Ghibli films don't really stop, or rather, they don't stop near the end, they stop almost midway through. So they hang in your imagination and feel more like a world you've visited and can visit again, than three acts of rising tension.

Sorry to break it to you buddy, but you might be a fag.

>they take something that could be interesting and make it boring!
epic...

This shit happens with every media. I don't really know why but it does. Movies, books, tv, games, whatever. Every media has this group of products that are absolutely dog shit and yet are lauded as the best of their kind. Glad we can finally acknowledge that ghibli films are in this group.

especially retarded, if you see it that way, is still an answer to
>whats so special about x

>No? Again, you're just being a woman and making false-equivalencies instead of arguing. Pokemon isn't about humming energy balls, even when the Pokemon were fighting, they were fighting over ideals.
>Clones vs "Real" Pokemon, and the Pokemon duplicates fighting each other for a manufactured blood-feud instead of for sport and friendship.
This whole thing came off as weak. Those battles weren't intense. It was literally just Pokemon using physical attacks against each other. They aren't intense at all.

>Pokemon films are masterpieces of animation, period. Keep seething about Ghibli being mediocre and being tricked by marketing into thinking they're good.
You say that but no one agrees with that. Everyone will remember Pokemon as a fad that's still ongoing. Let's not forget those early movies were heavily marketed . And no I don't hate them, not the early ones at least but I don't think they're masterpieces.

>Hi, I have a small attention span and cannot stand to watch anything which does not have constant action!

why are anti-ghibli posters so dishonest?

It's obvious there are petty reasons why you actually reject these films but none of you are giving them.

You wanna hear my reason? Fine, they're fucking boring. I'm all for taking in the scenery and what not but not for an hour and a half. There are plenty of films capable of providing a compelling story whilst allowing you to still enjoy scenes of world beauty and silent character study. Ghibli films are not those.

I wasn't even necessarily shitting on Ghibli, I was saying they're not anything special, considering the Pokemon movies have just as much if not more soul.

god yugioh could've been such kino if they kept the horror theme of the early manga volumes instead of turning it into faggot shit

YGO is kino regardless. I like the dub for the VAs and the OST, but the sub really is actual kino, with all the violence and gun scenes included. The dialogue just makes more sense in general. You are faggot shit. YGO is unironically kino.

They're pretty, have amazing OSTs, feel 'different' enough from western animated films (story isn't as safe as in American films, for example), and are entertaining to watch.

imagine...

Tracy didn't deserve to be there though fuck that homo

>they're boring
That says -nothing- about the films. That's only a comment about yourself.
>world beauty and silent character study with no compelling story

>silent character study
I'm not sure what films you're referring to but that's just not accurate.

>stories are not compelling
that's all you've said which actually means anything. But what do you mean? Explain yourself. Why are they not compelling? How might a similar story, told differently be made to be compelling?

anime can't be what?

Just the fact that you use "-" to emphasize a word is enough to make me realize that anything you say is to be discarded. Leave my board.

The Celebi one (4th), and the Latias/Latios one are both fine. I recall the Phione/Manaphy one not being so bad. The rest are pretty garbage, but honestly that is a symptom of garbage legendaries. Everything after gen 3 was just "le big epic dragon". So the movie didnt have much in the way for interesting plot the same way a little forest sprite that can time travel does.

No. Rayquaza and Deoxys are pretty fucking sweet, though. Plus OG Ash VA.
The last thing anyone cares about from that movie is white hair Mokuba.

The little girl? I think her name was Amber, right? Anyway, she appears in the dubbed English version of the DVD of the first Pokemon movie I bought a long time ago.

I watched Pokemon: I Choose You! with my cousin last week, very comfy time. Nice way to introduce younger fans to some of the old gen lore as well.

I loved watching Porco Rosso back in the day, it's such a comfy Ghibli film.

"No."

It was OK. The one that came after it was pretty decent tho

Rèddit loves it.

Sorry Pokefags, Digichads have you beat.

>he didn't like Tri
Why? Very kino.

Being in 7th grade when HGSS and having all the guys secretly bring our pokewalkers to school was the dopest shit ever

Sorry Toei shill, but no thanks. Hope the reboot goes better.

that song sounds exactly like another song, can't tell if it's from a film or a video game

I gotta take my hat off to the sheer level of soul displayed here.

I want Lugia to clap my cheeks

Princess monoke and grave of the fireflies are infinitely more kino than any trash ass ashnime film. The fire red anime series was more kino than any of the films. If you like this shit you’re why Pokémon is garbage now.

This so much

>He doesn’t read Pokemanga kino
Missing out big time.

>Every media has this group of products that are absolutely dog shit and yet are lauded as the best of their kind. Glad we can finally acknowledge that ghibli films are in this group.
this

Wait, brainlets hate Ghibli now? I thought it was accessible enough for you. Guess some people lack the emotional depth necessary.

>Where the fuck is the appeal with ghibli seriously?
Non Disney distributing movies en mass for actual consumer audience. Expensive proper animation, made with the help of Korean sweatshop labor.

They do suffer from "oh, its a kids movie, lets fucking ruin the pacing"
I still need to get around to watch Princess Monoke and Grave of the Fireflies.
Laputa was slow as shit despite the promises of SKY CASTLES!, and Kiki was also slow as shit despite being about establishing a trade and friendship.

Ghibli has already been shredded apart and undone in this thread. Read it if you want but it's embarrassing to be an outspoken Ghibli fan at this point.

Its Porco Rosso for me lads, for those comfy Adriatic sea feels and italian fascism

Nah it’s just a bunch of retarded plotfags who can’t handle a more gentle pace to establish Mise en Scene. Bottom of the barrel brainless morons.

Looks exactly like Pokemon 5.

NOOOOOOOO GHILBIBROS WE GOT TOO COCKY

this but unironically

Lord of the Rings the Two Towers

I wonder if he could have won if Ash had absolute control of him.

Tri was fucking garbage dude what are you on about

It's just the 01 crew alternating between being super depressed, then nutting up and ready to fight, getting depressed again, rinse and repeat. On top of that there's some annoying bitch who seemed designed solely to add another girl for shipping purposes and her ocdonutsteelmon

I completely agree with both of you.

I'm both a Pokechad AND a Digichad, but I'm still pissed about how Tai didn't have get married to and have kids with Sora in the first Digimon anime series.

Nah, when Omegamon became Christ and fucking smote that stupid fucking beast? That was lit. KYS.

The credits scenes from the first film are pure soul.

The first three or four films all have similar credits.

You're garbage.

1) Probably satoshi kon something
2)Akira
3)Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion
4)Ninja Scroll
5)Redline
6)Harui the movie
7)Porco Rosso
8)Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust
9)Ghost in the Shell 1st movie

Ghiblicucks blown away.

Kiki is gay lol

I know.

ItS JapANESe
If americans or bongs made it, no one would give a shit

Ghibli movies are nice, but they are overhyped.

Hosoda > anything else > Ghibli > > > > > Pokemon

All y'all motherfuckers need to watch this

This movie had no right to be as good as it was

IT'S BEEN

youtube.com/watch?v=zKK_n4G5oOU
Probably one of the best anthology films of all time

Otomo should turn all of his short stories into anthologies with different animators on each segment, Memories was such a neat experience.

Ghibli BTFO

he was such a jobber on silver and gold, the movie did a good job at making him look GOAT

That would be great, I also enjoy Neo Tokyo and Robot Carnival although not to the extent of Memories.

There are more redditors on /r/pokemon than /r/ghibli
That makes Pokemon more reddit.

Interesting how Ghibli detractors ITT resort to basedposting and "you're reddit" memes for their posts.

I know this is a bait thread but Ghibli films are unironically great. The Wind Rises obviously being the best one.

goat movie

entei vs unnown was epic and goosebumps inducing scene

But it was captured, look Tobias.
