Ok, what the hell has happened to Ghibli?
Their films from 20th century were good. But stuff now, except SA, has poopoo story. Like Ponyo, the story was way too thin, and the ending seemed rushed. Most of the movie wasnt following the story at all, just showing interactions between Ponyo and the kid. The conflict isn't even addresed as much as needed to be of any emotional impact, really. Most of the movie just seemed to be about amazing animation. So why make a film and claim it's great when all that's good is visuals and music? If a film has a bad story or no story or neglects its story, it's a bad film, unfortunately. The story really feels like an afterthought to showing Ponyo's antics.
I noticed this problem also with Howls Moving Castle, but not as bad as Ponyo. Too much scenes full of great visual but devoid of any substance.
