it's technically not a ghibli movie, but miyazaki directed it. it's the best lupin movie and it isn't even close. it gets some flak from lupin purists because it makes Lupin into a noble hero instead of an antihero thief, but it's objectively so loving good you shouldn't mind that it feels more like a ghibli movie than a Lupin movie.


also I just looked it up and according to wikipedia, Spirited Away was the first film to gross $200 million worldwide before opening in North America, the film to finally overtake Titanic at the Japanese box office, the top-grossing film in the history of Japanese cinema, the second anime to win the Japan Academy Film Prize for Picture of the Year after Princess Mononoke, and the only anime to win the Oscar for Best Animated Feature, and has a 97% Rotten Tomatoes score. The notion that it isn't absolutely fantastic and a enormous critical/commercial success that defines the genre is a viewpoint held exclusively by internet-poisoned weebs on anime forums who can recite all the members of hololive from memory.

The past decade of cinema is proof enough that box office receipts aren't an indicator of quality

just like castle of cagliostro, porco rosso is the best miyazaki movie for adults because it's for adults. it even says so in the original trailer! porco would be the perfect animated movie if it wasn't for the weird almost-romantic subplot between a literal middle-aged pig and a child. an adult trying to have sex with a kid at least kinda made sense in cagliostro because it was the bad guy who was horny for the kid.
what? that isnt in the movie at all. the mechanic girl has a crush on rosso but rosso never reciprocates, the ending of the movie is him getting with the lady who runs the hotel whos like, the same age as him. a young teenager having a small, innocent crush on an older man is not creepy or weird in the slightest

He posted/trolled a bunch in TFR and LF back in the day (Leftist Faggots era, not Laisezz'sFair era).

to be clear LF literally stood for both of those things post/pre Obama respectively.

IIRC MuMu is about as safe as you can get but they're all pretty sketchy in different ways.

That being said it hasn't worked for me lately, dunno if it's just me.

i think of 'mod sass' as more cheeky and rebellious for its own sake, and less controlled by deep insecurities

Also Gorf's post was saying that critical acclaim by hollywood/reviewer types and sales numbers isn't equivalent to the quality of a product. There can be a correlation, but it's not a causal effect, and there can be other factors that affect these things such as advertising (Also, Studio Ghibli films tend to get a push behind the scenes by Disney people, for example)

Lupin and Ryo Saeba are both committing literal sex crimes constantly as a gag. don't you agree? probating someone for pointing that out was pretty silly.

I think the real argument here is not whether nor not Spirited Away was well received, but whether or not you can interact with other human beings without finding some way to attack them personally for something as benign as their tastes in inoffensive media. People can disagree with you without being 'internet-poisoned weebs' or whatever.

i was pointing out that the only group of people who don't think spirited away is fantastic are hardcore weebs who think they are too good for normie stuff. it's a weird and insular reaction that's been long prevalent in the anime community.

i can't believe you want to litigate a post from 4 months ago, but france and italy have huge issues with sexual boundaries and not taking instances of sexual assault seriously as a criminal matter as a matter of objective reality. it is notoriously difficult to be convicted of rape in either nation, and victims are treated like poo poo. media that casts molesters as lovable scamps is part of rape culture and permissiveness that leads to the real human harm.

here are some recent articles about these awful attitudes:

A lot of Miyazaki's films are pretty similar in key respects so weebs who are familiar with his other work may be less impressed by Spirited Away. The same applies to the other breakout anime film, Your Name.

Personally I think Spirited Away has exceptional visuals but I think the ending is rushed and unearned.
