just finished Howl's Moving Castle

to be honest it was one of the worse Ghibli films i've seen...mostly because the pacing is pretty bad. things just seem to happen with no build-up or anything...and the characters "develop" so fast that it feels cheap. of course, this doesn't keep it from being a fairly great film, still. it's got plenty of other things going for it. but it seems like miyazaki was too busy focusing on all the beautiful minor details and scenes instead of adapting the characters or story to their fullest lol

it's probably mostly just really popular because girls love howl and daydream about making sweet bird love to him

but it was a very enjoyable way to spend two hours regardless

Its probably a slightly worse film to me than you, but only because Im one of those people who
"read the book first,"

but i still enjoyed it regardless, like any ghibli/miyazaki flick

I starting watching Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt in english.

How horrifying.

I also downloaded Nisamonogatari and I think Bakemonogatari is downloading still. I have Summer Wars to watch as well.

is the dub of panty and stockig pretty bad? lol
I love Summer wars. It was such a great movie, albeit a little wierd...

[Nyerp]

I don't know if I'd call it bad, but they changed some of the dialogue. When they kill a ghost they yell "REPENT MOTHERFUCKER".

[Samus Aran]

i saw some of the first episode of the dub. the voice acting itself isn't really so bad, but the voices just don't fit the characters as well as the original. stocking's in particular sounded weird if you ask me.

Yeah, I found her voice wasn't that fitting.
