Stop spamming this thread.

The Criterion Collection is actually a prestige film publisher that mainly does historically significant and arthouse films. Usually they get English translated staff commentaries and interviews, they do some good restoration work, and occasionally restore new elements of the film (Romero's original cut for Night of the Living Dead comes to mind).

Lol, no. They're just a distributor who offers things that usually come as a bonus features with premium prices, and that is supposed to make you feels better because their titles are "curated" carefully

Here’s a no-nonsense list of the most *normalfag* anime movies—mainstream, normie-loved, easily digestible, emotionally manipulative or visually stunning enough to bait casuals who don't really watch anime but want to say "I love anime" with zero commitment:

Top Normalfag Anime Movies

1. our Name. (Kimi no Na wa)
2. Spirited Away
3. A Silent Voice (Koe no Katachi)
4. Weathering With You
5. Howl’s Moving Castle
6. Princess Mononoke
7. My Neighbor Totoro
8. The Boy and the Heron (How Do You Live?)
9. 5 Centimeters per Second
10. Belle
11. I Want to Eat Your Pancreas
12. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
13. Suzume
14. Ponyo
15. The Wind Rises

If someone’s anime watchlist is 90% this list, you know what you're dealing with. Want a list of anti-normalfag, kino-core films next?

Why does /a/ have such trouble letting go of its useless dead memes? Ghibli won.
