Grave of the Fireflies might just be the saddest movie ever made, but it is brilliant, I’m a big fan of Princess Mononake, and I do like Spirited away, not one of my favourites but it’s good (it’s just a bit too weird for me - I’m a big fan of standard Manga series like Tri-Gun, Ninja Scroll and GunGrave) but my favourite has to be Howls Moving Castle, I just think it’s absolutely brilliant. I also love Laputa, although I’m as of yet to see Nausicaa, and I’ve been told I really should.
Yeah, I thought it was a bit too disney…if you catch my meaning…too many distractions.
Spirited away was my first and therefore my favourite because it just, stunned me…
If think you’ll always have a ‘special bond’ as such to the first one of those films you watch…
Nausicaa is really good btw…
I LOVE my neighbour totoro…it makes me smile…
/me faints with shock…
WOWOWOWOOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOOW!
I was really impressed with Princess Mononoke, but I don’t think that its the 3rd best animation film (according to a survey taken in japan; 1st; spirited away, 2nd; howls moving castle)
I’m a big fan of Ghibli films, especially those by Hayao Miyazaki. Can’t wait till his new film, Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea, gets released this July
sighs They are fabulous.
They are a bit…well…odd, but you soon get used to them. They are very differently paced from studios like Disney, but I don’t see disney the same way now, compared to these they’re waaay to shiny and plastic.
Try watching Spirited Away, or Howl’s Moving castle…These are the ones that have had some of the best reviews; but they are all fabulous…
I’m also a fan of studio Ghibli. What comes from them is always very well done. May I remind you all of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, or cute Kiki, so kawaiiiii
God they’re beautiful.
I’ve forced my parents to watch several…they’re glad I did!! My mum is now addicted to Spirited away and Howls moving castle.
Kiki is still my dad’s favourite!
Ah! I haven’t seen that one yet! God, I’ve heard that its really really depressing…that’s the only reason they brought out Totoro, to cheer up people who’ve watched the Grave of the Fireflies!! laughs
