Have you watched Ponyo or Princess Mononoke? Those are pretty coherent throughout, the pacing is way better in those, and the writing is almost flawless.
I have watched them both, and I can’t remember Ponyo very well, Mononoke was awesome with some slight weird pacing from my memory of it.
They were both pleasurable to watch!
The ones I can think of where I questioned the pacing is Earwig, Pocco Rocco, the other airplane one, the small people one, and there are a few others I may be forgetting.
Call me Original™️, but the pacing of Spirited Away was fantastic!
As for stories, the only story I have actively disliked is the earwig one. To me, that movie made absolutely no sense.
Granted, I know these movies must be going over my head, as I don’t have a firm understanding of the Japanese people and their culture. I just really love their art style!
Totally agree. Beautiful to watch but there were plenty of pacing and writing issues for me.
The pacing and writing issues seem to be a Ghibli staple at this point. Or maybe I’m just not understanding them when I watch them?
