Anime

Ok, so I'm a tad obsessed with Spirited Away but I love all the Studio Ghibli stuff, trying to get my hands on all Miyazaki stuff, only got a bit at the mo!

Loved Princess Mononoke, so very odd. Pretty long too, but the animation's brill! The English dub version was written by Neil Gaiman too, there's a fact for ya, fact fans!!

Howl's Moving Castle, actually based on a book by a woman living in good ole Brizzol, is also good, though the end confused the crap out of me!

Pom Poko. . . you probably need to be drunk while you're watching that'n! I love it just for the oddness!

Laputa: Castle in the Sky, one of the voices (In the Eng. dub) is done by Luke Skywalker!! Full of facts, me! Brill animation in that too, and great story! Plus, if you don't usually like the trippyness of anime, this is less trippy.

There are more, but those are the ones I have on dvd.

I know of your obsession with Spirited Away, I don't really know a lot about Anime myself but I keep meaning to get out a dvd or something as Jonathan Ross keeps going on about it on his shows and so do you! Laughing

Em_J

Yes, you should, cos I have nobody to talk to and obsess with about it!! You've got to see Spirited Away at least! I'm sure you'd love it. Wink

April_Rose

I'll try to remember it next time I'm looking around for a good dvd then! Very Happy

Em_J

Aye! And let me know what you think! Ooh, I could have a look for it and stick it in the media section!! If you don't love it then. . . you must be a crazy person!

April_Rose

After reading your last post about martial arts I might tell you I do even if I don't! Laughing

that would be great if you could upload it! Very Happy

Em_J

I'll have a look for it. Although if you do say you like it, you realise I'll then have to get you to watch all the others I mentioned too?!

April_Rose

*runs away and hides* Yeah! I know! Laughing

Em_J

You won't be able to not like it! T'will be impossible! Spirited Away is brilliant!! Really, really funny too, especially Boh the big fat baby who gets turned into a big fat mouse!

Edit: I couldn't find it! Sad

I know nothing about Anime but I'm a bit intruiged now, I'll give it a go!

Em_J

Cool. I'll turn ye all into anime loving geeks yet!

April_Rose

I can't get any of those div x links to work for some reason, but I'll keep an eye out for it in the dvd rentals - I'm usually stuck anyway as so many films are just crap...

Jenny*

never seen it . . . is it worth watching?

Em_J

Course! What a question! Any of those films I mentioned are worth watching, but especially Spirited Away!!

Jenny*

oki doki!!! Razz

Em_J

Has anybody actually watched any Anime yet?! If not, why not?! *stamps foot*

redwinegoblin

Um, no. *speedily thinks of excuse*.... I blame the RPG, takes up too much of my time. I also blame society.

Em_J

Heh heh!! Oh. Sad

April_Rose

No....but in my defence I don't think I've seen a film at all since we were chatting about this! I blame the rpg too! And....loads of other stuff! Sorry!

Em_J

I got My Neighbour Totoro for Christmas and watched it the other day. Tis pure brillness! There's a Catbus in it... is it a cat? Is it a bus? It's both!! How can anybody not love anime?!

redwinegoblin

Random. I stil haven't managed to watch a whole anime film yet....although a catbus sounds intruiging, if a little creepy.

Em_J

Yeah it was very creepy!! Funny though.

April_Rose

That sounds kind of mental!

I wacthed princess Mononoke again yesterday on tv, hubby was really into it as well cos of the wolves! Laughing

Em_J

Princess Mononoke rocks! I think that's the weirdest one there is. Spirited Away's pretty random too though. They all are actually!

redwinegoblin

I saw the end of spirited away the other day - had some wierd old woman with a giant head in it, really freaky!!

Em_J

There's actually two of those women in it!

redwinegoblin

Really gave me the wiggins!!! Maybe I shouldn't watch the whole film Laughing

Em_J

It's ace! It's really funny and really weird.

redwinegoblin

Yeah I definately got the wierd part Laughing

I might give it a go...

Em_J

Yeah you gotta. You'll love No Face. Very Happy

redwinegoblin

Just googled No Face - very very creepy!

Em_J

Yeah, he's probably the creepiest thing in the whole film!
