Anime Movies

Alright, so, I just finished Howl's Moving Castle and I've already watched Spirited Away... Twice.

So, are there any other movies like it? ( By the same director by any chance? ) And do you have a link to it because I'm poor.

If not, it's okay, I might be able to find it.

I wanna see Howl moving castle! >.<

Ummm... some of the other movies made by the make of Spirted away and Howl`s, are Castle in the sky? Kiki`s delievery service, right? And Princess Monoke.

Would you like the link to Howl's Moving Castle? ( -- Sob -- It's in parts! )

YES! PLEASE! I would LOVE that! ^_^

However... I`d have to watch it tomorrow.

Ah, I think I'm going to try and watch Kiki's Delivery Service. I'm not too sure though because it looks pretty odd. oO I'm not sure about the other one because it looks kind of action- y to me and I'm not sure I want to watch that. Dx

Anyways, Howl's Moving Castle ( in English, sorry if you don't like that ):

Oh, this director did so many movies. I'm almost obsessed with his work, I admire it so much. Kiki's Delivery Service isn't odd at all- in fact, it's quite straightforward. A simple, happy, feel-good sort of movie. Princess Mononoke is very much an action movie, yes. But it's a thoughtful one. I consider it a masterpiece, myself. The line of good vs. evil is blurred; both sides have a case for what they do, and neither is completely innocent of wrongdoing either. Both make mistakes and have their virtues. And through it all is the enviromentalist theme. Granted, that's a Ghibli thing overall. Miyazaki is a huge enviromentalist. Now, I will warn you- Mononoke is on the violent side. Not gratuitously so, but it doesn't pull any punches either. So if you find that off-putting, be warned. For similiar themes and a less gritty, more clearly defined world, try Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. First movie Miyazaki did independently, the one that spawned Studio Ghibli. I was very impressed with that one. Castle In the Sky is lovely, yes.... If you want something to make you feel impossibly good and happy, try My Neighbor Totoro. That's got to be one of the most positive movies I've ever seen. I'd swear it has healing properties. I like to watch it when I'm sick, because it's a feel-better sort of movie. Now, to keep this short, here are other movies I know of/have seen:
Pom Poko (I consider this the weakest of the Ghibli products)
Porco Rosso
Whisper of the Heart
The Cat Returns
Grave of the Fireflies (A warning: this one is very bleak and extremely grim. Artistically and storytelling-wise, it's a masterful achievement. But it's darn depressing.)
Castle of Cagliostro (I haven't seen this one, as it's part of the Lupin III canon, which I've never seen.)
There's another one called Only Yesterday, but it's unlicensed, so sadly I have yet to see it. :( I recommend any of the others, though....

Ah, thank you, thank you! I'll have to look at some of these! Right now I, unfortunately, have to go to bed. Dx

G'night, everyone. ^-^

[Guendolen_Sama]

You're welcome. Glad I could help in some way. :) Good night!

I really want to see Spirited Away, I'm saving up to buy it.
Was it good?

[Guendolen_Sama]

It's stunning, pure and simple. I've watched it several times, and still go into ecstasies over the art. A beautiful achievement. I consider this one a masterpiece; to my mind, it and Princess Mononoke are Miyazaki's two finest achievements.

[shadowclips]

Princess Mononoke is the greatest.
It's so cool, it's entertaining to watch; I love the action.
Princess Mononoke also has a very good story to it.

Princess Mononoke! Is my most favorite anime movie. That and Inuyasha all except the second one. That sucked, not enough Sesshomaru. Too much Inuyasha and Kagome. And WAY TOO MUCH Naraku. And poor Kagura almost dies. Kanna too.:( And poor Shippo gets scared. I LOVE SHIPPO! And Sango loses her poor brother Kohaku.:( And Miroku, well I don't like him. That pervert!:mad:
