A large number of the fans, myself included, prefer Isao Takahata's work. Either way. It wasn't "him". It was "them". Their rivalry drew out their best work.

  Agreed that Takahata was a master in his own right. Everybody knows about Grave of the Fireflies, but a few years ago I discovered the more subdued Only Yesterday and found it impressive. It stirred emotions, a true animated movie for adults. I also enjoyed Princess Kaguya a lot. The art style alone is very different from Miyazaki's style (which I love, of course).

    My Neighbors The Yamadas is always the first thing that I recommend to adults who have never seen anime before.

    Only Yesterday was a lovely movie and really touching. (Would recommend it in Japanese with subtitles)
