is that good???

He's a director...

Princess Mononoke
Kiki's Delivery Service
Spirited Away
Grave of the Fireflies

Good stuff, but not as good as it is hyped to be in my humble opinion.

Gomen Morphee! i havent seen any of the anime you listed in your pics there!
i'd be interested to hear what theyre about though!

The only directors i know are Hiroki Gohda and Mamoru Oshii

GYAAA! is right! Wow, K1, you need to do some catching up, stat! Miyazaki's film Spirited Away even won an academy award in the US! And Morphee, I'm jealous... Howl's isn't even out here yet! They did just release Nausicaa, Porco Russo, and the one about the cat, though.

Keiichi-K1, a good place to start is with Princess Mononoke. It is one of the more adult works, and as a Brit, you should appreciate the fact that Neil Gaimen (of "Sandman" and "Neverwhere" fame) did the English script!

Larry

who's Neil Gaiman!?

He's the author who did the Sandman Comic Book. He also wrote the novel "Neverwhere," which was made into a miniseries on the BBC. He also wrote "American Gods" and "Star Dust". Finally, he cowrote the book "Good Omens" with Terry Pratchet (soon to be a major motion picture according to rumors I've heard. Very good writer... as much as I love anime, every once in a while you should read something without pictures

:| :wow:

Larry

i have no time to read a novel, im busy enough as it is reading up all the stuff i need to study for work! Anyway i dont read comic books just manga.

Miyasaki in my mind is the greatest.There is a few that comes close to his brillance.I have only 3 of his movies but I get the new one that is comin out soon.

Spirited Away
Castle in the Sky(Laputa)
Kiki's Delivery Service

^^ i love his stories! ^^ and Howl's moving castle must be the best ever... ^^ i saw it twice it's so great... lol! can't wait it to go out on dvd! :bg:
i have laputa, princess mononoke and chihiro on dvd... and i have the return of the cat on divx... i've seen Grave of the Fireflies
on TV... and i really have to see the other ones... they must be really good (duh! of course they are! they're from Miyazaki! ^^)

so much for my participation on this thread! i have not idea what youre on about! i havent seen any of them!

Go out & rent one of his movies.Trust me you'll like any movie that you see.:bg:
