Its mine too.
Some people are gonna go all hipster here and claim Cagliostoro or something but I've always felt that Spirited Away was Miyazaki at the peak of his craft. Its about one girl's journey all alone in an unfamiliar world. The train scene is one of the best Ghibli moments I have ever seen.
Like I even know what facts are.

You mean, it's about child prostitution.

I believe there is more brothers to be introduced.

Not sure if this would be the right place to ask, but does anyone know a legal site where I can either watch or download Gundam Wing 00? Seems like crunchyroll doesnt have it anymore and I cant find it on amazon to buy (digital)...
Youll have to wait for gundam.info or daisuki to put it up...or hope someone in the us picks up gundam wing or brings out the bd later this year.
That was a good one, too. I saw it for the first time in my first semester of college with some friends. The moment that dude's head flies off is the best moment in the film. EVERYONE in a room reacts to it.
If only Anno had performed the ending song as well.

They are introducing one next week and there's probably even still more to come.
Do the plane engines counts as VAs in this context?
Do you think they are going to show the mom? I wonder how she looks after having so many children
The theme song is gonna turn into dubstep in the Disney version.

Casting Anno as the lead is still a choice that fills me with a profound sense of despair.
Also, Castle in the Sky is my favorite. It epitomizes everything I love about anime.

I've seen Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Whisper of the Heart, and (I think) Tales from Earthsea dubbed and I just didn't care for any of them. To each his own, of course; part of it is that I'm just biased against celebrity dubs to begin with.

I don't know what it was about but I found Spirited Away to be kind of underwhelming. Maybe it was because I was too used to the modern style with dialogue everywhere and so many dramatic moments.
That's not to say it wasn't good. I thought the quiet moments with the animation were wonderful to look at. The characters were also cute to watch as well. I did enjoy seeing all those weird designs everywhere. It was like a young child being at an art exhibit with your parents! When in the middle of the tour you see something interesting but your parents pull you away to keep up with the group.
The pacing was the best part of it all though. The buildup to the main character entering the spirit world was perfect. We slowly start to realize that things aren't what they seem and then those things show up. Certainly a much better job than Magic Knight Rayearth's way of pacing! Where the show is so excited to be on TV that it throws all that plot stuff at you so fast so it can get to the action! No no no! Spirited Away is how you do pacing and suspense!
So yeah, I may not have been blown away by Spirited Away as much as everyone else here was, but that doesn't mean I don't think it was great. 9/10. Might watch again.

Maybe they are adopted or something. Half of them barely looks like brothers to begin with.
Ghibli does celebrity VA too
Howl is voiced by the most famous actor in Japan. Even Hosoda does this for his movies.Deputy Dangle

My short-lived dream of seeing Anno become a prolific voice actor has been dashed. ;_;
Perfect, thank you.

Man. I was just using the "original language is better because if it's a bad dub, then at least I can't tell" weeb logic and didn't realize it ._.
Assuming Disney does no unnecessary butchering, I am now 99% sure the dub will be better than the original in Kaze Tachinu.

Its always Abe's lines that feel as if they could be taken a different way.Hamada and friends scene was my favorite simply because they are so into it and definitely want to cheer them on. Really cant wait to see them in action at some point.

Playing catch up:
Rozen Maiden 1
WTF is going on. I don't know who or what is happening, nor the significance. I thought this was a reboot of the series, not a continuation. Guess I'll have to watch the originals to know.
Oreimo 13
Best girl gets her arc finally.
Kamisama nichiyoubi 01
I read a little bit of the manga when it was just starting to get translated, and found it interesting. I'll probably watch the anime just to see where the author takes the story.
Also, I loved the OP/ED.

Just like the series as a whole, she's overshadowed by Kirino. The episode explored Kirino's past more than it did anyone else, I will admit I actually hate her less now. .

This world isn't suited for a post-depression Anno.
What a terrible decision.
I hope Takahata won't cast any inexperienced voice actors.
Don't forget to read Crossbone when you're done!

This was pretty boring until the airsoft battle started. Hopefully Miyukichi will inject some much needed energy in the cast next episode.

Wait, they're airsoft guns? And this is what upset the guy in wonzo's post?
Cardcaptor Sakura 25
A special card is wreaking havoc disguised as Sakura. Interesting, though. I know that each card has its own personality, but I didn't know they were capable of having feelings such as guilt like the Mirror card had for leading Toya down that cliff.
Oh, and Toya feeding Yukito was adorable. I'm sorry. Wait, why am I sorry?
How did I live before watching this show? I love it so damn much.

I won't, but I don't know that my heart is ready to accept that Judau Ashta ever got old.
It's frightening to think the adult animators who made the end might end up being gun toting little girls when they grow up.
Legend of the Galactic Heroes - 103: Cosmic Mosaic

What an odd and unorthodox personnel choice by Reinhard. Appointing von Bittenfeld, Müller and Wahlen under von Oberstein's command? Von Oberstein is an incredibly intelligent Admiral, but he has always been a bureaucrat. This is simply not gonna mesh well, especially with von Bittenfeld being a true battle-Admiral.
Von Oberstein is right though. Sacrificing lives, even if they are military soldiers, for the personal pride of the Imperial Fleet and the Kaiser is a very distinct feature of despots.

Those guns could put someones eye out!
GKids is more likely to distribute the movie than Disney at this point.
He shows up after the original Crossbone manga. He's pretty damn awesome still even when he's old.
Anime editorial in the US is a....it's a weird business. What a pointless battle to pick.
There are so many shows depicting actual violence... I expect each and every last one of them to have a ZB preview lambasting them from now on.
Apparently so.
guns actually should bother me a hell of a lot due to something that happened, but they dont.
Your days were darker before CCS brought you to the light.
Yeah....thats just ridiculous.

It's true in my case too, though the rate of heart attacks skyrocketed.
