Not sure I like the characterization; but this stuff appeals to my philosophical nature. I'm a fan of epic fantasy; the extensive world building and how the characters interact with the world. I don't approve of the age scheme; but love the overall concepts.<br /><br />.........dholedolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345890055658252124.post-58386367973529909812013-02-08T17:29:46.510-05:002013-02-08T17:29:46.510-05:00Dang - I had to shut off the trailer halfway throu...Dang - I had to shut off the trailer halfway through 'cause I didn't want to know any more before I saw it.<br />Steve MChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026970188928733645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345890055658252124.post-57718743859875256052013-02-08T13:27:51.809-05:002013-02-08T13:27:51.809-05:00I'm the only loser who hasn't seen it.I'm the only loser who hasn't seen it.Ciarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15628488753277495111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345890055658252124.post-74747505658642300522013-02-08T13:16:29.417-05:002013-02-08T13:16:29.417-05:00I love love love this film.I love love love this film.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345890055658252124.post-74038191827518164522013-02-08T12:42:41.019-05:002013-02-08T12:42:41.019-05:00I haven't seen Mononoke in a long time.

Like the The Watchmen (not the movie).<br /><br />Porco Rosso is excellent. Man, now, I want to see that again, too. He's such a cool character.<br /><br />Earthsea was done by his son.

I recently put this on to watch with my son then remembered it wasn't age appropiate since he's three....<br /><br />Hmm, I don't like the animation style of Akira. If I had to choose my top movies: Ninja Scroll, Princess Mononoke and Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust. Oh and Sword of The Stranger!

Miyazaki is such a great storyteller. <br /><br />One minor point, Secret Life of Arrietty is actually based on the book "The Borrowers" b Mary Norton.

As for the one I thought you might choose, it was Howl's Moving Castle, which I also love. Hmm, I seem to use that word a lot when speaking of Miyazaki films. <br /><br />Great choices, Matt :)mshatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06308916014310536449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345890055658252124.post-17476229725952814302013-02-08T09:35:58.284-05:002013-02-08T09:35:58.284-05:00Saw this in theaters and it was so so great.
