I still remember watching that in my younger (as in, much younger) days. I always believed that a show that German also must have been made by Germans. Imagine my surprise.

There are more surprise anime among the TV classics. Maybe you remember the World Masterpiece Theatre thread I have made a few years ago.

Same for Biene Maya (TL: Keikaku the Bee).

You serious? I always thought the animators behind that were from Czechoslovakia.

I would like a Sticky as well. This man is a legend.

It's a damn shame the casualfags and normalfags always give credit due to him to Miyazaki, who's more of an animator than a director. Faggots don't know the difference.

Takahata was the best part of the studio and I'll miss him dearly. Now, there's no longer any reason to give the studio any attention.

Miyazaki isn't a hack. This guy only made Grave of the fireflies, not all movies by Ghibli.

Grave of the Fireflies isn't Ghibli, you dingus.

It's Takahata without Ghibli (AKA Miyazaki) influence, animated by Hideaki Anno.

You need to know more about your animu if you're going to post here.

Also, I never stated that he made all Ghibli movies, but that he was the actual genius behind the studio, Miyazaki's works being generally crap comparatively. There are two exceptions to this rule: Castle of Cagliostro and Nausicaa.

What's the difference? I don't see how Miyazaki isn't a director.

Literally his worst film.

One of three key animators, and not even the animation director.

Miyazaki is not bad at all.

You're probably just upset he shat all over otaku

He didn't say he wasn't, he said he was "more of an", see the difference?

confirmed for faggot.

An animator animates. A director directs.

One is not like the other. One has a certain line of anime that was bought up for cheap by the few commercial TV stations we had here, the other cooperated with public ones to animate relative recent children books.

Miyazaki is bad because he's a lolicon in denial. He should've just admitted that he was one of us instead of fighting it to the point where he forgot the 2D/3D boundary and starting banging his new wife's 8 year old daughter.

It's just conjecture. He did marry a woman he didn't care much for that happened to have a very young daughter he cared quite a lot for though, and he is a very wealthy man involved in the entertainment industry with a lot of connections and some very obvious personality issues.

Just conjecture.
