Any Miyazaki fans here? (Spirited Away, Castle in the Sky, Princess Mononoke)

[Gil-Galad12]

I'm not a fan of anime but these movies are animated perfection if you ask me. The beautiful animation (the best I've ever seen), the great scores, the themes like Nature vs. Man, and Sacrifice make these movies incredibly poetic and wondrous. My favorite is probably Castle in the Sky, but really I'd like to buy them all. The ones I still need to watch are Totoro, Nausicaa, and Kiki's Delivery Service.

Any other fans around here?

Hey I watched Spirited away at the weekend and Princess Mononoke last night! I just LOVE Spirited Away!! It's like a slightly darker and more sinister version of Alice in Wonderland but not without it's light-hearted and funny moments. I remember I went to see it at the cinema and there were loads of families there with kids and they must have been thinking it was going to be like Finding Nemo or something. It's not necessarily for kids though it is probably more geared towards a western audience that Princess Mononoke. I found it quite different and much more aimed at a Japanese or anime audience. I thought it was really good too though.
