Howl's Moving Castle


The NZA

Recommended Posts

I did just that; saw it that very night. I hate laptop keyboards, so nothing detailed here, but it was really enjoyable, up to Miyazaki par, which for me means i have no idea what'll happen next, but ill love getting there.

 

Not as great as Spirited Away, but for me, just as enjoyable as how i recall Monoke. The ending was a bit forced & rushed, but otherwise, great movie.

Indeed...Miyazaki is a master. Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away are easily my 2 favorite animated films of all time.

 

Can't wait to see Howl's...I've read the book it's based on and it was good, so I have high hopes for the Miyazaki big-screen adaptation. I'll see it when (and if) it comes to a theater near me.
