One of Isao Takahata.
So Only Yesterday.
Isao >>>>>> Hayao
Takahatas best may be better but Miyazaki has made at least 6 great films while Takahata is perhaps at 3.Takahata is generally the better of the two. And I love the shit out of Miyazaki's efforts and consistently consider them some of the best films out there in terms of originality and character building. But Takahata is a god.

Everyone knows that it's Only Yesterday.
I like mononoke and nausucaa better, but spirited away certainly is a great film.
Also, no totoro love in this thread? Not my favorite, but I'd say it's his most charming movie. That and kiki
Takahatas worst < Miyazakis worst as well. I do enjoy Takahatas low key stuff but they feel pretty 'traditional' Japanese cinema a lot. My Neighbor the Yamadas is charming but feels like an extended Sazaesan episode. Miyazaki is more unique.Sometimes it takes brilliance to occur at longer intervals with less product![]()
ITT: i learn i need to watch The Wind Rises like yesterday
I like Howl's Moving Castle the best.
No I haven't read the book it's based on and it probably butchered.
