Auteur theory doesn't apply to anime

Auteur theory is gay and retarded.

>>280806834 (OP)
none of those hacks that's for sure

>>280806834 (OP)
Ikuhara is a gay faggot who likes to fujo shill, so definitely not him.

>>280807032
you sound very insecure

Ikuhara is a gay faggot who fujoshills, so definitely him. speaking as a femanon myself

i heard miyazakis movies were great so I put on Princess Mononoke and holy fuck that was the most boring shit I have ever seen. had to force myself to watch and evn then dropped it midway through. literally even solo leveling is better than that garbage. why are these movies even popular?

>>280806834 (OP)
I don’t know if I’d call most of his movies especially great, but Miyazaki, simply for being right about everything regarding anime.

>>280807357
it's just typical boomer complaining

>>280806834 (OP)
Definitely Kon.

>>280807357
Everything he said about otakus too was 100% correct and that goes beyond just anime and manga.

>>280807295
Mononoke Hime is Miyazaki's third worst work after Howl and How Do You Live and I can't understand why people like it so much

>>280807405
>Everything he said about otakus too was 100% correct and that goes beyond just anime and manga.
Yep, vidya too. Hell, Asian media in general.

>>280807405
>Everything he said about otakus too was 100% correct and that goes beyond just anime and manga.
His criticism towards otaku are that they're not the exact same flavor of lolicon that he is and don't jerk off to WWII planes as much as he'd like

>>280807453
>Miyazaki
>lolicon
Is that why he gave his approval for Samson grooming Marie in Nadia?

Speaking of Nadia, do we count it as solely an Anno production or a joint Miyazaki-Anno one for the purposes of this thread?

>>280806834 (OP)
I'm a fan of Hideki Arai

Only wish I knew nipponese so I could read 90% of his production

>>280807539
>Is that why he gave his approval for Samson grooming Marie in Nadia?
By the way you write it seems to me you're very young and ignorant about the reality of Miyazaki.
He's the biggest lolicon in anime, there's a reason why his rise in the '70s coincided with the first boom of moe

>>280807625
>The specific kanji and wording used for not just any kind of love, but romantic love, “koishite”

I wonder if this ever got out would Ghibli films still be critically acclaimed in the West or would they be stripped of their Academy Award nominations and Disney’s distribution deal? Would Miyazaki’s films no longer be considered “normie anime” for the mainstream? I guess Battle Shonen is the sole normie genre that remains standing huh…?

>>280806834 (OP)
Ikuhara in anime, Nomura in gaming, Kanye in music.

>>280807851
The only people who care about shit like this being "controversial" are shitters who don't matter.
No film critic alive would remove Roman Polanski's filmography from their Best Movie List.

Checks out considering Ikuhara is the Nomura of anime.

Mononoke is better than anything he's made after Spirited Away.

Only Kon ever came close to being an auteur

>No film critic alive would remove Roman Polanski's filmography from their Best Movie List.
The difference is that it seems like most of Miyazaki’s films (and TV series if we’re counting Nadia) are actual lolicon films for voyeurs now that we know the context behind them, I mean just look at all the panty-shots in Kiki and Totoro for example, kinda puts them in a brand new light huh?

Polanski, to my knowledge, made sure to never insert any of his pedo tendencies into any of his films and people would’ve been none the wiser if they were going off of him just based on that right?

Meanwhile nearly all of Miyazaki’s works star young girls…

>>280806834 (OP)
The Shin-chan movies are better than all their movies

>>280808196
I don't understand your position.

Who's the man in Red?

I'd have to say Kon probably.

>>280806834 (OP)
Watanabe, simply because he makes /a/ seethe with his woke anime.

Tomino too for that matter since he made Turn A, and was the first anime director to feature racially diverse casts in his works.

>>280808511
Archer, but gayer

>>280808540
>the first anime director to feature racially diverse casts in his works
Wouldn't that be Tezuka & MushiPro in general back in the '60s?

>>280808126
>Watanabe=Yuasa

>>280806834 (OP)
Miyazaki is the only one that can make consistently good works. These types usually make one good thing and then it’s all junk afterwards.

>>280806834 (OP)
Almost none of these people are auteurs.
Perhaps Kon and Yuasa are the exceptions. Maybe Miyazaki as well.

The rest are so cucked by the confines of the TV animation industry and so creatively controlled they either retired or did something else

>>280806834 (OP)
Oshii. Despite his reputation he has a great sense of humor and the fact that he keeps directing stuff whenever he can despite not having built an entire filmmaking institution around himself is cool.

>no Shinkai

>>280808700

Wtf anime was created by a wokefag all along?

The best

>>280810346
>Normalfaggots discover Tezuka
It's summer all right...

>>280806834 (OP)
Anno clearly mogs since End of Evangelion is the most personal film ever made with the peak of cinema (Komm Susser Tod)

The rest are all good but Oshii, Ikuhara and Yuasa notably fell off after a certain point. Artists in most cases should retire early.

>>280808196
>lolicon films for voyeurs
Literally all anime starring little girls gets claimed by lolicon pedos. That doesn't mean they (all) got made for (just) that purpose and are therefore just pedo pandering slop.
There's a reason Miyazaki hated Cream Lemon enough to destroy his Tokuma Shoten award.

>>280813135
>There's a reason Miyazaki hated Cream Lemon enough to destroy his Tokuma Shoten award.
Yes, because he's extremely autistic when it comes to loli.
He despised working on Akage no Anne because she's not the exact flavor of loli he loves (and, worst of all, matures into a grown woman), and while working on Conan got depressed because Lana loved Conan and could not love HIM.

>>280813583
>extremely autistic when it comes to loli.
Right, hating lolicon pandering and fanservice is definitely some kind of warped and very autistic lolicon fetish guys...
The "fanservice" in Miyazaki's works like is just mundane stuff nobody gave a shit about in the years they got made.

>He despised working on Akage no Anne because she's not the exact flavor of loli he loves (and, worst of all, matures into a grown woman), and while working on Conan got depressed because Lana loved Conan and could not love HIM.
I know all those anecdotes. You are exaggerating, but I'm not saying he doesn't like little girls. I'm just saying he's not turning them into deviant porn. Literally every director putting little girls into their works likes them to some degree anyway. Who gives a shit?

>>280808016
who

>>280806834 (OP)
>That lineup
Wow you've watched ten whole anime?
Here are the actual anime masters

>>280814007
whatever grandpa

>>280813932
>I'm just saying he's not turning them into deviant porn
He's not turning them into porn because he's got a purity fetish. He's basically C.S. Lewis for anime

>>280814042
So basically stuff nobody gets offended by...

>>280814081
Is it important for you if someone is offended by something? Who cares

>>280814199
Representation Matters

>>280814199
Is it important to you if the director likes little girls?

>>280814007
These people are just as cucked by the industry if anything. Might as well include Tetsuro Araki at this point

>>280814387
>These people are just as cucked by the industry if anything
What do you mean? Only Rintaro is still alive and basically retired 15 years ago 'cause he was already over 70

>>280813932
>The "fanservice" in Miyazaki's works like is just mundane stuff nobody gave a shit about in the years they got made.
Nadia, which has it’s name attached to him, literally has a full grown-ass man grooming a 5 year old girl…

>>280814284
No, why would I care? It's not my fucking problem even if he were a murderer

>>280808700
Jun of Great Mazinger, half-black female lead from 1974, is the first big TV anime example I know of. But a lot of shows openly talked about discrimination as an issue.

>>280814248
>Representation Matters
???

>>280813583
>He despised working on Akage no Anne because she's not the exact flavor of loli he loves
Really? What was wrong with Anne for him? What’s his type of loli then?

>>280814507
Racial diversity doesn't mean talking about specific topics such as racial discrimination. Tezuka in his manga since the '40s (and in his anime later) had a fuckton of different races as both protagonists and antagonists.

>>280814492
Miyazaki stopped being attached to Nadia over a decade before it got produced. I'd love to see a source of Marie's ending being in Miyazaki's original story outline of the 70s.

>>280814608
Of course. But which of his TV anime had a diverse cast?

>>280814632
>I'd love to see a source of Marie's ending being in Miyazaki's original story outline of the 70s.
Well he’s still best buds with Anno, so either it was in fact his original draft or he at least approved it.

>>280814524
Unironically the most stereotypically otaku fantasy possible. A pure young maiden that is strong enough to suffer for her man but not enough to defend herself so that he can save her, extremely virginal, can ONLY show romantic feeling toward HIM, not even the MC, mature enough to be motherly but not enough to be independent.
Every main female character he ever wrote is like this or close enough.

>>280814710
>TV anime
Don Dracula had a lot of Slavs as main characters

>>280806834 (OP)
They're all shit but Shinichiro Watanabe was the only one to drag his name thought the fucking mud as badly on recent years
first he claims that Space Dandy was the biggest mistake of his entire career and a huge mistake, then he claims that Lazarus was originally a comedy and Adult Swim/Cartoon Network forced him to make it more like Bebop after the show finished airing despite claiming otherwise before, this feels like a "he said/she said" kinda shit where he and companies are trying to threw each other under the bus

>>280815292

>>280814760
Anno and Gainax would much rather turn it into their own thing. If you want to see what Miyazaki would do with it, you'd have to look at Conan and Laputa which used the same ideas already.

>>280814507
>>280814608
If this came out today all of /a/ would be complaining about how anime is now “pozzed” and that Japan “bent the knee” to DEI…

>>280815380
No, because Jun is hot

>>280815380

>>280815380
We had that with Eizouken

>>280815488

>>280815330
both sides are right here. I remember the bones talking point after the show aired where they weren’t concerned with how ‘successful’ Dandy was because it wasn’t a merch oriented show, but it clearly had a much larger impact internationally.

>>280815488

The most talented Japanese man in history.

>>280818687
Yes, yes.
Very well done Shikai, well done Shikai.
HOWEVER
He failed to do the most important thing, much more important than those lesser achievement.
He failed in making something I, myself, liked, and thus will be forgotten by history and be forced to live in shame on Virgin Island.
