I've not seen either Arrietty or Whisper of the Heart. Love Laputa to death. Is there some reason I shouldn't buy Arrietty?

I haven't seen it yet. Limited theatrical release and all that. But I've heard nothing but good things.

I wish I wasn't broke. ;_;
Arrietty is great, and it was written by Miyazaki, so it's pretty much a no-brainer.
Whisper of the Heart is the second best Ghibli film ever. Get it.
Arrietty is the best Ghibli film in years. Get it.
Good on you for loving Laputa. Get it again.

All the Ghibli films will be region free like Nausicaa was right?
You mean the name? As in how Laputa is not part of it? Not that bad, inevitable even.

What?
What do you mean it's dubtitled?
They use the dub script instead of an actual translation for the subs.
Yes! Hopefully they will release The Sword in the Stone, The Jungle Book, Robin Hood, and Peter Pan on Blu-ray one day too. Those are my most wanted ones at least because I would be happy to have any and all of the Disney animation features on Blu-ray. I am sure one day they will all be released though.
That sucks. Basically it's the dumbed down American script where they assume American's don't know what some Japanese things are and change it?
Perhaps, but it's guaranteed to not really faithful due to rewrites to fit in the sync + I think Disney wants to avoid writing out Laputa at any point, subs incl.
Also dubtitles have a really annoying quirk where a background character will say something in the dub and not the JP track and the line will show up despite... not being there.

Thankfully? Are you glad they've dumbed it down?

Hmm...which versions of Laputa aren't dubtitled? Are the US Blu-rays of Whisper and Arrietty also dubtitled?
HK version of Laputa has the proper subs and is a port of the JP video encode which have been traditionally superior. Also reasonably priced and has a superior cover. Can't go wrong unless you want the dub.
RatskyWatsky
Hunky Nostradamus
I see. I would prefer a version with all the languages and proper subtitles...
Do you know if the US Blu-rays of Whisper and Arrietty also dubtitled?

Whisper of the Heart Blu ray review
Fist pump!
EDIT: Arrietty, too!
Now I'm curious about whether Ponyo and Nausicaa also have proper subtitles...
EDIT 2: They do. Hurrah!

I feel the same way about The Jungle Book.

I almost ordered them last night. Nice! Glad I waited.
Edit: Though I guess there was little point, pre-order price guarantee and all.

And raised prices. Castle in the sky was $19.99 the other day.
Hmm, really tempted to get Arrietty and Nausicaa now. $20 apiece should be a decent price, right?
RatskyWatsky
Hunky Nostradamus
It's most likely the lowest price you'll see them at in quite a while.

So I saw Porco Rosso for the first time last night.
I cannot BELIEVE how good that film is. Probably in my top Ghibli films along with Ponyo, Laputa, and Spirited away. My Neighbor Totoro of course is good too.
Miyazaki is amazing. I can't believe how consistently good he is. Honestly, the only film of his I didn't love was Howl's Moving Castle, but I still enjoyed it.

The Great Mouse Detective will hit shelves September 18.
Interesting. Don't know if I've ever seen that one all the way through from front until the end.
:O The end is the best part.

Nope. You can kinda get a rough idea by looking at the International release dates for previous titles and then comparing them to the US dates.

Anyone have any weird glitches with their blu-ray of Whisper of the Heart?
I noticed mine's got a few seconds of completely garbled audio (reminds me of the sound you get from playing a data disc in an audio cd player) during the scene where Shizuku is wondering what sort of person Seiji might be and it cuts to a shot of him for a second or two.

Cool. Certainly looking forward to this one.
