Rest in peace you great man
- There’s quite some Anime movies I like more than Princess Mononoke (Perfect Blue, Wolf Children, Ghost in the Shell…) but it’s undoubtedly a masterpiece. That’s the one that should be the spearhead of Ghibli, not Spirited Away.
  
  Just wanted to say Perfect Blue is a masterpiece. I remember showing it to a friend of mine in college, and afterwards, she looked at me and went, “In one of my film classes, they showed us how to show time passing in a movie, and that movie fucked with every single one of them.”
- Animation peaked in the early 2000s? That is ridiculous, it's more popular now than ever, with storylines and art at least as complicated and beautiful as 20 years ago.
  You just have a favorite movie from that time.
  
  Or their taste just differs from yours?
  Why try to overwrite someone’s opinion man :(
Studio Ghibli hits different. RiP.
