  Happy belated birthday, mr Takahata! Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Post Search for Posts by Heidi80 Report Post to a Moderator        IP Address Go to the top of this page

I just noticed that Isao Takahata turned 76 on saturday (29.10). Even though Hayao Miyazaki is still the most famous Ghibli direcor in the west, I feel that Takahata is just as good, but in a different way. What I love about Takahata's movies is his realism and attention to detail and how his character aren't the typical heroes, but persons with flaws who try to do their best, even in impossible situations. So happy birthday mr Takahata, thank you for your wonderful films. Hopefully you won't go into full retirement JUST yet.

Happy birthday, Takahata-san!


In a way, I actually think that I like Takahata more than Miyazaki. Miyazaki is incredible, but Takahata has a gift for creating such beautiful, realistic, intimate stories.

Happy birthday Takahata!

I think i might like Takahata a little bit more. Hayao has made more films, and they are so beautifully drawn. But the emotion i feel from Takahatas films, particularly his characters, is just so yeah lol. Hard to describe really.

I know exactly what you mean! Takahata's characters are full of emotion because they are so realistic and flawed. I still think the sweetest of all little ghibli girls is Setsuko from Grave of the fireflies

I find it weird though, how even though i guess they aren't fantasy characters they aren't like anyone, but still relatable. I like Taeko the most of his characters, but even though she's a say 30ish woman i find her so relatable.

I haven't seen Grave for quite some time, when i look at my shelf to watch a ghibli i think of watching it - but it is so sad.
