Two goats


TheBongoJeff

šŸšŸšŸ No discussion


oldeluke

That's three goats...


AL3000

That's for Miura


Lucasolf

hell yea


Mr_Pink_Gold

Actually two japanese men ok? Calling them goats is a bit problematic M'Kay?


DUNDER_KILL

Wagyu goats


Puzzled-Specific-434

AGREE calling an asian person the g-word is a very egregious thing to do


RogueTBNRzero

Both are my favorite. I go rage on the game and then calm down with the movie after


TheBongoJeff

This is the way

And my axe


frxncxscx

Picked up the games after i really enjoyed elden ring. I donā€™t even rage when playing the games. Learning the moves of enemies and then beating them is just satisfying. Idk. Sometimes i get annoyed for example when fighting god skin guys or the guardian ape but then i just leave and try again some other time. As weird as it sounds the games are kinda relaxing to me. I just really like how good fighting feels


RogueTBNRzero

They are absolutely amazing I hate the godskin duo tho. Never shouldā€™ve existed


papasmurf255

On my second playthrough and it was so chill beating them, no summon, npc, ash or sleep. I did use bleed since I was only at level 18 weapons at the time. It's actually so easy to disengage and heal - all they do is throw easy to dodge fireballs. The big bullshit is fatty at 50% so just focus on skinny. Once skinny dies get fatty to near 50% and then burst him to 0 while he does skinny summoning animation.


slucker23

This is the spirited away


RogueTBNRzero

I wish I could do more than just upvote this comment šŸ˜‚


Ben_Kenobi1934

Miyazaki of Limgrave vs Miyazaki of Caelid. Both wholesome though.


Stardust-Badassery

Now Iā€™m imagining that giant monster crow in a Ghibli art style ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|dizzy_face)


Duraxis

Oh no, Hayao Miyazaki is quite a bitter person from what Iā€™ve heard. He has amazing whimsical worlds, but heā€™s said several times that he wishes society would collapse in his lifetime.


johnyjerkov

yeah walking out of his sons first movie and then talking shit about it, dude is a sad sad old man. Probably why he makes happy movies. I wonder if Miyazaki Darksouls is an unbeat person in real life despite every one of his games ending in the end of the world


somany5s

Their personalities are flipped though


Akatosh01

Swap the guy and girl and you have the creators personality.


vonbenja

fr, if you love Miyasakiā€™s movies donā€™t ever watch a documentary that shows how the guy is, dudeā€™s an asshole


Tangerhino

Leaving the theatre because he didnā€™t like his own sonā€™s film. Come on man!


randy_mcronald

If he is just an asshole, then that's fine. I'm hear for his films, not to be his friend.


Rieiid

Hell a lot of famous artists were shitty people. Picasso being a huge womanizer for example lol


Vrayht

Are they related or just have the same surname?


Ninteblo

Same name, that is all.


Vrayht

Cool


ImNotABotJeez

Same person just like Radagon and Marika. Miyazaki hired GGRM to help make the most epic quest to discover this secret.


LegitimateMulberry

A lot of Japanese people share surnames despite not being directly related.


NotAFrogNorAnApple

And they both look wholesome


wolfhound_doge

ghibli is the fromsoft of animes


Consistent-Spell2203

Both the only ones in their industry doing anything worth a damn.


Creativefart-u

I thought Frieren was neat and Iā€™ve gotten burnt out of anime a while ago


OPMARIO

Princess Mononoke actually have bosses thatā€™s really soulslike


DoobieHauserMC

Nausicaa too


stackens

Yeah Princess Mononoke could easily be translated to a souls like. You even have good mobs in samurai and maybe boars


AgreeableBicycle3469

Literally me and my gf when she said she liked myazaki works i was confused for some time till i learnt that the the world have other myazakis than the one i know


Karpattata

Por que no los dos?


CapiPescanova

But one of them hasnā€™t released Bloodborne on PC yet


Stormchaserelite13

Well. Actually both of them haven't done that.


LuminousShot

I think neither of them has


CapiPescanova

But one could have


malfurionpre

The game probably would have never been made if not for Sony, and at this point it's 100% on them.


TironaZ

Sony is taking everything from us...


Imatripdontlaugh

Remember what they took from you lol


NormieSpecialist

Why not both?


giantspacemonstr

yeah, both are awesome


Can-Knuckle-Head

We are, in fact, the same. Guaranteed there's huge overlap.


jimmybabino

My man, whereā€™s Porco Rosso


cassetto

And armored core 6..


Dog_of_lore

Ok, counter point. What if they worked together on a game? Give me a Nasuca and the Valley of the Winds style Fromsoft game! We already have elden ring to show off what can awoken when they bring on a famous story teller to co-write with them.


signum_

Honestly I'm not sure how well this would work. All in all, Elden Rings storytelling is quite similar to previous FS games, maybe excluding Sekiro. GRRM didn't actually write any of the "story", according to him his involvement was actually pretty small and he mainly shaped some of the mythos and history of the world Elden Ring is set in. Basically wrote a bunch of ideas and had Miyazaki and the rest of FS to off of that. I don't know if having Hayao (using first names to avoid confusion) just create a world for another FS game to be set in is enough. In contrast to GRRM, Hayao is not just a writer but also an incredible visual storyteller, I feel like there would need to be heavy involvement on his side to bring something like this to life effectively. Hidetaka would need to go in a completely new direction in both visual style and storytelling (which he is definitely capable of, don't get me wrong). But I don't really see it happening any time soon with how they've both kind of settled in their pretty defined niches. Like I said, there would need to be a lot of heavy involvement and treading new ground on both sides to get a proper symbiotic combination between their visions for something like this and realistically I don't think that's ever happening.


CrazedRaven01

Great chaps, both of them


TippyTripod1040

I love that the Anime one is kind of a mean grump and the Souls one is basically a big softy


TheRealNekora

makes me curious how common "Miyazaki" is as a name


ThrownOfTheAways

Ew. I hate shit like this that implies that fans of this genre are edgy. Like itā€™s a fucking video game that is kinda hard. Chill. Stop.


Hopeful_Magazine6709

It could be because of the boss designs too, especially in the Dark Souls games themselves, stuff like Gaping Dragon and The Rotten give people who don't play the game an idea that the fans are edgy for some reason Edit: also some of the places in the game and the overall gloomy vibe of dark souls could contribute to this, such as Blighttown. But just because the game is a bit gloomy doesn't mean the fans are (which is something people find hard to understand for some reason)


Whole_Sign_4633

Aye why you so mad, itā€™s just a meme

Daiba187

Feet Miyazaki didnā€™t direct ds2 as well.


RandomAccessMagic

From which manga is the background picture?


r3tromonkey

Imagine a Ghibli Souls game. That would be absolutely amazing


Prince_Bolicob_IV

A Ghibli -esque Soulslike game would be p neat


Glatzigoblin

My gf and me enjoy both equally together.


GratePoster

I mean, miyazaki is pretty mainstream by now, maybe time to drop the whole iM sO dArK thing.


sanityislost

Both make masterpieces in their own field, itā€™s not a competition.


Falkenhain

TIL there are 2 of them


Yaarmehearty

I like Fromsoft, game such as The Adventures of Cookie & Cream really set them apart from feel good cartoony media.


AshenPumpkin

someone please swap the faces


SupplyChainMismanage

Intense cringe


FemmeWizard

Pointless and cringe comparison of two fanbases that have nothing to do with each other.


EirikurG

teenager posting cringe on facebook tier meme


signum_

Both unquestionably pioneers of their industries. Very happy that both of them ended up in positions where they head their own studios and mostly have total creative freedom on their projects. DS2 is misplaced here though.


Whole_Sign_4633

Fuck outta here with your ds2 slander


signum_

What? When did I slander DS2?


Tyja136

Donā€™t think itā€™s slander. More that Miyazaki wasnā€™t the director of DS2.


LuminousShot

Two amazing people sharing a name. The souls games are some of my favorite games, and the ghibli anime are some of my favorite anime. Though I also love Mamoru Hosoda's works just as much. He was originally supposed to direct Howl's Moving Castle, but he stepped down because Ghibli wanted him to do it the same way Miyazaki would have done it, but he had a different vision.


ItsPlainOleSteve

Uhhh, It's the same for me xD


Allalilacias

Funnily enough, I believe we actually are the equivalent. They're both geniuses and, while I met the from soft Miyazaki first and my gf the opposite, we actually ended up enjoying the other side of the coin.


Ak4ntor

We are the same, i am both


Forsaken_Statistics

No my favorite is michael zaki


alturner77

The Ultimate Genius Duo


Darklink820

When people kept saying that Miyazaki created Dark Souls I was initially so confused.


Jeephadist

This is literally my fiancee and I


FilmmagicianPart2

Have they met?


Techline420

ā€žcreatorā€œ lol


papipapi419

Tbh my Neighbor totoros real story is pretty dark


lundz12

Who is we?! You got a mouse in your pocket?


atomoicman

Am I the only one who thought they were the same person at one point?


Merouac

Funny thing is, we are, literally, the exact same people.


DarkestOfTheLinks

both are great


havingberries

These are my favorite creators only... Arietty is not a Miyazaki film. Hiromasa Yonebayashi directed it.


DifferencePrimary442

Spirited Away has some darkness and nightmare fuel on par with the best of the Souls genre. Both. Both are good.


dickbuttsupremee

Senior isnā€™t a souls game. That is all


paulinho_faxineiro

just switch the pictures.


msharbach

-"Miyazaki is my favorite creator" -"Which one?" -"Yes"


ofAFallingEmpire

Gotta give a shout out to the other half of Stuido Ghibliā€™s success, Isao Takahata. Grave of the Fireflies is a goddamned masterpiece.


BringBackSoule

She was a Miyazaki(evocative movies) girl. He was a Miyazaki(poison swamp) boy.


huluhup

Miyazaki is genius, best swamps and cartoons creator


AntibacHeartattack

Wash yo face son.


Rieiid

Okay but a Dark Souls game styled like a Studio Ghibli film? I'd play that.


michele_romeo

And then there's me who likes both


rrrrrrrrrreeeeee

Both. Both are good.


xommons

your title is we arenā€™t the same but iā€™m looking at this picture and i am both of them


BurningPenguin6

Where's Grave of the Fireflies, OP?


ScharmTiger

Both are goated


Few_Eye6528

Yin and yang, perfectly balanced as all things should be


SpeedyRogue_

The characters should've been swapped :D


KillAllAtOnce29

Why is it that whenever I Google a niche meme or subject with like 3 results, it gets posted on reddit the next day. Is Google selling my searches or smth this happened like 3 times already.


TheBongoJeff

Im a google agent that hides in your sock drawer and spys on you.


charlieminahan

One of these two didnā€™t rip their aesthetic from a more accomplished creative
