Am I really the only one who feels very "meh" about his films? It's probably because I just don't really enjoy the style of anime in general.

I've enjoyed almost every episode of Cowboy Bebop and thought Grave of the Fireflies was well done. Other than those, I have yet to enjoy much of anything in the "anime genre" (and yes I realize that to some that is a wide category to be placing such stuff within).

I just find it very hard to identify with a lot of his films. I absolutely love Kiki's Delivery Service and Howl's Moving Castle, which are obviously easy for me to identify with older female leads. Ponyo looks cute, but I doubt it will be one of those films I constantly want to pull off the shelf and watch all the time.

THOSE ARE MY FAVORITES TOO.

I didn't really care all that much for spirited away. 8|

Yeah, I went there.

I saw Spirited Away once and never really cared to see it after that. It was a good film, I'll give it that, just not one of my favorites.

Oh. Princess Mononoke was good too, but it just wasn't as endearing as Howl's or Kiki's.

What I got out of Princess Mononoke: Recycle and stop fucking up the earth.

i love his films, but i do feel like he's lost steam in recent years and run out of ideas. i don't understand ponyo-- isn't it just the little mermaid all over again, in essence?

spirited away was great. lots of personable characters and cute moments that are typical of miyazaki. i also like how he tends to have strong female leads.
