Hayao Miyazaki

[Riotfug]

So, we all know he's a genius but which is your favourite?
Personally I really love Princess Mononoke

Erm, this isn't the right place for this thread is it?

[MorbidGnome]

>.> I've actually never watched anything by Miyazaki. Is that a bad thing? <.<

[Riotfug]

Not a bad thing but you're missing out! Ok, maybe a little bad, hehe.
I recommend his work though. He's the japanese Walt Disney only better

[evilmingdoctor]

this thread is very similar to the miyazaki-sama thread on the people part of the forum; oh well - i s'pose 'hayao miyazaki' is a clearer thread name - anyways it's all gd stuff

[Riotfug]

Woops, didn't realise there was another, sorry!

[Meroko Yui]

I like Howl's moving castle as well as Spirited Away.

[Riotfug]

Has anyone seen Kiki's Delivery Service? I'm considering buying it soon

[GracieLizzy]

Has anyone seen Kiki's Delivery Service? I'm considering buying it soon

Yes, it's very sweet and well worth buying! Only thing is that it can seem "slow" or "lacking in action" but it's a lovely movie if you like cute movies and/or coming-of-age stories.

[Riotfug]

Thanks for the info

[evilmingdoctor]

u can't go wrong with miyazaki - just watch them all!

[AbstainSentinel]

O.O My favorite so far is Howl's Moving Castle! I have to rewatch Mononoke and Spirited Away. ^_^

[stickmanbob0]

I like spirited away... especially the manga for it

[kakashi]

The first anime I ever watched was My Neighbor, Totoro!

[kevin.gotheborg]

Tonari no Totoro is also my favorite.

[Cojiro]

I find Miyazaki to be very over rated. I mean, yeah, the guy's good, but...I'd rather watch a whole bunch of other anime than a Miyazaki movie.

[EgotisticalAsian]

I've seen and own almost all of the existing movies by Hayao Miyazaki!!! ask me any questions you have!!! I'm a hardcore fan!!:D

[Anjolina]

My favorite is My Neighbor Totoro. Also, I adore Princess Mononoke. :D

[Shikigami]

ive seen spirited away and im watchin the rest on toonami a month of miyazaki

[SakuraWare]

I love Howl's Moving Castle I loved it so much I read the book and like both about the same. Personally I'm just like that I like the movies just as much as the books as long as there not to far apart. I also love Spirited Away and well I love all of them. Though I must say My Neighbor Totoro was kind of weird though I love it still I love weird things

[sazuka]

oooh.... i like princess mononoke and kiki's delivery service, BUT i have yet to see howl's moving castle

[lepster]

Howls moving castle was awesome and mebbe my fav. Spirited away is a close second tho. oh, and there's this one called Castle in the Sky and thats good. not my favorite but good. u can't really go wrong with Miyazaki!

[Arcademan]

Princess Mononoke was the first one I watched, then Turner Classic Movies showed many of them in January and I enjoyed them all. My Neighbor Totoro and Spirited Away quickly became my favorites :)

[Alphonse Elric]

i've really only seen 1 of the movies.. but it was one of the best one's that i've seen

[dreamcatcher]

I like spirited away, grave of the fireflies, and princess mononoke

[LadyTanyata]

The first one I saw was Princess Mononoke. Then I saw Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle. To the best of my knowledge I think they are the only ones I've seen by him. But Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle are the best.

[talyhawk]

I honestly can't say that I have an absolute favorite by him, but I love Howl's Moving Castle, Nausicaä of the Valley of Wind, and Lupin The 3rd: Castle of Cagliostro.

[animeniac]

I have seen alot of his movie except for Howl's moving castle.I like spirited away the best though.

[Holly Short]

If you like animated cats you should definately watch Baron: The Cat Returns. They are sooo cute.

I really like them all! Kiki's you should watch too. I love Mononoke, but I think Spirited Away is better.

[SakuraCherryChan]

I like Princess Monoke and Howl's Moving Castle. My friend was obsessed with Howl she watched the movie at least 3 times at the movie theatre. Yeesh

[kyoshiro]

Miyazaki! I think each and everyone of his movies are absolutely amazing...it's like..perfect animation, soundtrack, voices, characters, backdrops and story plot all rolled in one.

The magic within each movie tugs at the child inside everyone, which is why his most famous movies (Totoro and Castle in the Sky) are so memorable for people who've watched them so long ago, and why they are still popular for adults as well as children.

The "westernized" films (films that made a large debut in western countries) like Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Howl's Moving Castle are all fabulous but in my opinion, it's his older films that really define anime at it's best...Valley of the Wind, The Cat Returns, Totoro, Pocco Rosso etc. They're basically storytales brought to life that the child in many people deeply appeciate.

[Manadevil]

Spirited away.

[Shizu-san]

I just bought Howl's Moving Castle recently. I can't get the music out of my head. Darnit.

[circaocean]

ive only seen spirited away but i wanna see the rest.

[edel]

I saw Princess Mononoke something.....and Howl's Moving Castle>>>>
Miyazaki's works are awesome>>>>> yeah right >>>>

[ChrisRenHeb]

I loved Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle was excellant. My Sis loves Kiki's Delivery Service. His stories are very intriguing.

[Fujiwara]

I like My Neighbour Totoro the best, even if it is kinda old. It was actually very popular in 1988 when it was released. I like Spirited Away second, and then Princess Mononoke, then Kiki's Delivery Service. Those are my all-time fave.

[Nekochii]

I've loved My Neighbour Totoro ever since I was a little kid. I've yet to have seen the new Disney dub though. I also love Princess Mononoke, and Spirited Away. I recently saw Castle in the Sky. I thought it was cute but didn't enjoy as much as his other films.

[ceana]

I thought My Neighbour Totoro was kinda cute-I love Miyazaki's films-I like Princess Mokonoke, Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle the best-I was also wondering, was Howl's Moving Castle the only movie Miyazaki did that was based on a book?

[Dragon Slave]

I saw some of his movies a few weeks ago on AMC, they had something called "A Month of Miyazaki", and it was totally worth staying up all night for. I didn't even realize he was behind Princess Mononoke and Nausicaa until I saw that special, and I love both of those movies.

I also went out and bought Spirited Away the day after it was on that special, and I still have to get Howl's Moving Castle and Laputa. I hope AMC does it again next year..

[kuronekoteri]

I think best of his films are Howl's Moving Castle and Cat Returns.

[alucard666]

i just heard that hayao miyazaki is working on a new movie. here's the link. (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=16777)

[YamPuff]

And me thinking he was going into retirement. Again. Yeah. :rolleyes:

[skyefall]

And me thinking he was going into retirement. Again. Yeah. :rolleyes:

Yeah, I thought I'd heard that too...:confused:

Princess Mononoke was the first one of his I saw so that will always have a special place in my heart. :) However, I love Spirited Away the best, I think. Although Porco Rosso & The Cat Returns (too cute!) are good too. Oh yeah, and Howl's Moving Castle, see I'm very indecisive, I can't choose one.

[animequeen20012003]

My Neighbour Totoro

[ceana]

I thought that Porco Roso was pretty good. I loved the things they said to him like, 'You're such a pig' and such. I loved Howl's Moving Castle, and Princess Mononoke was amazing. I haven't heard of the Cat Returns though.

Anyways, I wonder what his next film is going to be?:confused:

[Leon Strife]

Favorite Miyazaki movies: Princess Mononoke, Castle In The Sky, Howls Moving Castle, Spirited Away, and Nausica Of The Valley of The Wind.
