Tag / Isao Takahata

Pom Poko (1994)

  • Takahata, Isao
  • 1994, Isao Takahata, Japan, Studio Ghibli
  • 4 Comments

A tad long and sometimes incoherent in its thematic direction, but this eco-tale of shape-shifting raccoons could be Takahata’s most creative and fantastical effort.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

My Neighbors the Yamadas (1999)

  • Takahata, Isao
  • 1999, Isao Takahata, Japan, Studio Ghibli
  • 3 Comments

Studio Ghibli’s first full digital animation is a light-hearted and free-spirited take on urban family life told in humorous, sometimes fantastical, vignettes that are created in a minimalist watercolour style.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Only Yesterday (1991)

  • Takahata, Isao
  • 1991, Isao Takahata, Japan, Studio Ghibli
  • 4 Comments

My favourite Isao Takahata—a poignant and nostalgia-tinged tribute to memory, time, childhood and love in what could be Studio Ghibli’s finest work.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Grave of the Fireflies (1988)

  • Takahata, Isao
  • 1988, Isao Takahata, Japan, Studio Ghibli
  • 11 Comments

One of the greatest of all Japanese anime from the master Isao Takahata, this holds enough emotional power to reduce any grownup into a sobering mess.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
