I know this is probably true of every manga adaptation but holy poo poo, if you liked Nausicaä and enjoy Miyazaki as a storyteller at all, read the book. As with Akira this is only about 1/3 of a much bigger story (the movie came out 2 years into a 12-year manga run) but in this case it's a goddamn epic, with tons of worldbuilding, crazy battles and beautiful art.

Just try to wrap your mind around Ghibli releasing Totoro and Grave of the Fireflies as a double feature in 1988.jivjov posted:This is definitely a movie I'm going to be showing any hypothetical future children I have, and I feel like I have hit the true Miyazaki experience.

It's not internet hyperbole, Disney turned the main character's mostly silent and demure cat cinto a sassy animal sidekick. If I remember correctly one of the changes was also that the cat talks again at the end of the movie, when in the original version Kiki stops being able to talk to him because she's grown up in her time alone. edit: quote:Miyazaki has said that Jiji is the immature side of Kiki, and this implies that Kiki, by the end of the original Japanese version, has matured beyond talking to her cat. also this Raxivace posted:If this thread is about experiencing Japanese cinema, than the films should probably be in Japanese by principle IMO.

jivjov posted:that Miyazaki dubs were considered as good as, if not better that, the original Japanese performances. All dubs are poo poo, some are more tolerable than others but Phil Hartman doesn't make this thoughtful small coming-of-age movie better, as cool and funny as he was in everything else he did.

Are you gonna do any of Takahata's other stuff, specifically Pom Poko? Because that's Takahata at his silliest. While still packing an emotional punch, most of his other movies don't feature shape-shifting raccoons with giant balls. It makes for a nice counterpart to Fireflies.

jivjov posted:The design of the city of Koriko, from the streets to the aerial views, were just so well crafted. I just want to go spend a week or two exploring the town Kiki sets up her delivery service in. http://stock.irablock.com/-/galleries/europe/sweden/-/medias/4a0a9120-e3ed-11e0-b256-47864d91a75b-aerials-visby-gotland-sweden Miyazaki's fondness for European landscapes really begins to shine through in Kiki, his next movie is just a full-blown love letter to the Adriatic Sea (and old-timey airplanes, of course).

I like Pom Poko but yeah, out of all the Ghibli stuff I've tried to watch with other people or recommended to them this one has the highest "what is this poo poo?" return rate.
