Perfect Blue, but Mononoke Hime is really good, one is a director's best work, the other is his most commercially recognizable (in the west).

MH, PB is a tryhard westaboo work

Bait harder

Mononoke. Perfect Blue is highly overrated and there's no reason you wouldn't just watch Black Swan instead.

>idol culture
>westaboo

I love both but I got to give it to PB

Pop music, film stars and consumerism are Western ideas which are being reapplied under a different cultural context of modern Japan.

I enjoy both tremendously but I revisit PB far more often. i enjoy stories heavily based on perception and reality, so it’s a fun watch for me. Additionally, it’s my favorite Satoshi Kon work. The art in both films adequately convey the meanings of the films as well, so I honestly think it’s up to preference in storytelling, plot and characterization.

I just love Mononoke so fucking much.

This but objectively

the filmmaking and philosophy are western you philistine

The that's Satoshi Kon.

>muh environment and le leddit love story vs a masterful psychological thriller
Gee, I wonder

>muh scary idol culture and le reddit thriller vs a masterful and timeless fantasy epic
Gee, I wonder

>masterful and timeless fanrasy epic
If this is how you consider Mononoke then you're underage or a brainlet
Reminder that the best movie that Hackzaki made is Castle of Cagliostro

Perfect Blue

PB

The humans killing the forest monsters were the good guys but the movie is confused about this because it confuses environmental protectionism with primitivism. Perfect Blue wins by default.

Perfect Blue and it's not even close.
Mononoke was just a Nausicaa reboot because Miyazaki got a distribution contract with Disney and wanted to appeal to the western audience with his most popular plot.

Perfect Blue by a pretty large margin, Kon is a million times better than Miyazaki in general

Honestly this, if you count non-standalones EoE is the 2nd best anime movie of all time

my nigga thats japan you fuckin weeb

i like both, but PB is a superior work for what it is, a psychological thriller

>the other is his most commercially recognizable (in the west)
is it? I always thought that was Spirited Away. In any case, despite how commercially successful it is mononoke hime is imo one of the best miyazaki directed movies.

What's #1?

But Black Swan is heavily inspired by Perfect Blue?

Rebuild 3.0

>it's a humans must live in harmony with nature or bad things happens and the main protagonist is purely good and perfect in every way flick
why did Ghibli make like 10 films like this

Probably, it's still the better film.

The Nausicaa manga really opened my eyes to how good the Miyazaki formula is when it has time to stretch its legs and build a world before it gets to trying to manipulate Japanese children.
