> Except the drawing style of the characters and backgrounds is completely different so it's not the same.Afraid not, infact the PPG reboot's backgrounds usually go for warm colors so they got you beat.
> Ponyo is a Ghibli film. SM looks like Ponyo. Therefore SM looks like a Ghibli work.Let me break this down for you. Ponyo is a Ghibli film, yes, but not all fucking Ghibli films look the same, I already explained this to you. SM does NOT look like Ponyo as even Ponyo goes for warm colors & fluent animations, and saying "therefor it looks like Ghibli overall" is like saying a fucking Velociraptor looks like Tweety Bird because they both have feathers, therefor it looks like any bird overall.
> No they aren't.Does Pic related compared to the other one help?
> Except the drawing style of the characters and backgrounds is completely different so it's not the same.Except they totally fucking are, hell, SM is known for using shines on hair to give it a plastic look, with the neon colors, it goes for a toy-like style, NO fucking Ghibli film has this, even Ponyo herself with bright colors never looks like she's made of goddamn plastic.
> Please tell me you're not blind.Take a long fucking look at this image, and tell me this looks like it belongs in Whisper of the Heart.
