Miyasaki's Movies! Which is your favorite?
Ando:
I've only watched two: Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle. I don't love any of them to bits, but they're both very well-animated, detailed and sweet movies. In chosing between the two, Spirited Away would be my favourite, since I absolutely adore Dianna Wynne-Jones' novel, and frankly, the movie was so loosely based on her book that it kind of took away the fun. Plus, the storyline was terribly confusing, despite me having read the book. So yeah, Spirited Away it is.
But I am absolutely dying to watch Grave of the Fireflies and Mononoke-hime: problem is, they're nowhere to be rent and I can't find them for download anywhere. If anyone could send me a pm with where I can find these two movies I'd be so, so happy. *puppy eyes*
Arcademan:
Princess Mononoke
Spirited Away
My Neighbor Totoro
Kiki's Delivery Service
Whisper of the Heart
I got them all on DVD and watch them over and over (in Japanese of course)

Here's a synoposis of Goro's version of "Tales from Earthsea": http://www.ursulakleguin.com/GedoSenkiSynopsis.html
This should be deemed official because it was sent directly to Le Guin from Ghibli. ^_^

I too loved Dianna Wynne-Jones' novel (Howl's Moving Castle) it was very funny, though the movie was more serious and romantic.
Didn't you tried searching the two movies on youtube.com, they might have it there. BTW, what's Grave of the Firefly about? I've heard much about it!

Yeah. One thing I did like in the movie was Howl Show contentpermanently transforming into the bird-thing (though they kinda just left it hanging. That's one reason I don't like that movie particulary - way too many loose threads in the end), however, I didn't like Howl the leastest; he was such a shadow of his true self. Kind and polite without the sarcasm and sympathy-fishing. The Real Howl would have been offended, I'm sure. The worst was the Witch of the Waste, though. Talk about ruining the climax!

True, some time has passed since the last time I checked YouTube. They seem to have the dubbed version of both Fireflies and Mononoke. Oh well, better than nothing, I guess. I'll spend the rest of the night watching them. :keke:

Basically, it's a story about two siblings and their fight for survival during World War II. People say it's one of the saddest movies ever.
