Do people say itโ€™s their favorite ghibli just to be quirky and different? It was good but clearly not the best

It's Miyazaki's only adult-ish leaning animation that isn't his modern completely adult orientated animation that's a total betrayal of himself as an artist and as a result, fucking bad.
So I get if that's what you like from anime, Red Pig's going to be your favorite Miyazaki film.

it's filled with bombastic larger than life characters and has a good balance of somber moments, adventure on the high seas, and comedic interactions. Is it that baffling to you that some people really enjoy that kind of media experience?

This. I agree it's not his best, but it's the one I've rewatched the most. It's just very comfy and satisfying and uplifting to watch. Also while both Nausicaa and Porco Rosso are chock full of references to Homer's Odyssey (Nausicaa rescues Odysseus after his shipwreck), Porco Rosso is the movie that really embraces it and runs with it.

Miyazaki's best is Castle of Cagliostro and Totoro. Ghibli's best is Pom Poko.

Miyazakiโ€™s best anime is Nadia

His best overall work though is the Nausicaa manga.

Pretty much this. I'd probably say Laputa is his "best" movie factoring in every aspect. And it's still nearly as good as Porco. I just like Porco a little more.

The only really weird picks for favorite Ghibli movie would be Earthsea or The Cat Returns. With any of the others it's pretty easy to understand why it might be a favorite.

That can be said about most Ghibli movies though. Of course it's not inconceivable, but The Cat Returns is clearly a lesser production in their catalogue. It has an appeal somewhere between Whisper of the Heart (obviously), Howl's Moving Castle, and maybe Arrietty, but it's just clearly not as strong as any of them. So it would be an odd choice of favorite.

Miyazaki is like Kubrick. In that he is a genius but with such a narrow view of what is "good" that it only applies to his own stuff. There are hundreds of good movies and shows he would say is crap because it isn't done the way he would do it. And I veimently disagree with his view on all TV anime being bad because of the format. I think long TV series have a better potential for telling stories. He just doesn't like the lower animation quality. But story and characters is even more important than animation.

Porco Rosso[1080p,FLAC] [8CF9BCDE].mkv_snapshot_01.33.06_[2018.02.07_22.36.08]_2
for most folks their favorite Ghibli movie is going to be whatever the first one they watched is

for me that first was Mononoke Hime, but as far a favorites go it's tough to choose between Castle in the Sky and Porco Rosso, with Poppy Hill coming in 3rd

Probably true, but only if you include casuals who have only seen two or three Miyazaki films. Most people's entree is Spirited Away, but how many serious Ghibli fans have you seen claim it as their favorite?

Anno was Miyazaki's underling. And it's ironic he claims to hate what modern anime has become when Anno is one of the biggest reasons for that. So either he's a hypocrite or his sayings are taken wildly out of context. It's likely the latter.

Not so much the first one but the one the media or their friends hyped up to them. Which tends to be the first one they see. This is why so many people say Spirited Away is their favorite.

Unintentionally though, Eva was created as a critique on otaku culture and to shit all over them but the retards couldnโ€™t media literacy and ran with it as an otaku symbol instead.

Eva was created as one part homage to Ideon and one part Anno "fixing" Gundam. But he also has blatantly said he put a lot of the fanservice and self inserting stuff in because he liked it. Later after it blew up, he tried to use End of Eva and the Rebuilds to try and become a critique on the fanservice and consumerism it created. But it doesn't change that the first version of Eva was embracing it.

Not at all true. The problem with modern anime is people like you only focus on the 1% of popular ones. Then complain they are too mainstream. And then a few others which are paid for by western interests.

There's thousands of others that are obscure, sexual or like anime of the old days. You just don't go looking for them. You just look at the top 5 /a/ or giggik talks about then bitch about them.

Miyazaki didn't have a big hand in Nadia. He just did some early concept work. Junichi Sato had a bigger influence on Eva than Miyazaki had on Nadia. And few people even know Junichi Sato worked on Eva.

That was Anno ranting about not being able to control women. He wanted to fuck Noriko Hidaka but she didn't reciprocate even after he gave her two iconic roles and stalked her. People say lolicons feel attracted to little girls because they don't feel confidence on themselves and believe a little girl is easier than a woman. Reminder that Anno introduced an age gap relationship on Gunbuster too.

Isn't curious that Anno's wife draw herself as a baby? Maybe there's something kinky on their relationship
