Ahh.. I was hesitantly interested right up to the last line of your post. I have never, and will never understand people's desire to spend time and money on things that have that affect. May do something to explain are differing opinions on Mononoke as well, which ultimately isn't a happy film. Of ...

I have to assume that almost anyone on this forum is a fan of animated films. One of my favorites, Plague Dogs (by the same company and author who did Watership Down) has gradually moved over the past couple years from complete obscurity to complete availability. It is at long last available in a re...

I am now pestering Madman to consider season 2. I know there is no good english dub and no nostaligia value, but this is 26 more episodes right from Tezuka's heart. The english dvds are as bad or worse than any bootleg you could imagine. It is time that someone do this right, but like most 'right' t...

Read through it last night. Pretty fantastic, though not quite up there with Future and Karma. Tezuka really comes up with some weird themes in this one, but executes them well. This is the second time that Moopies have come up in the series, I have a feeling it isn't going to be the last since they...

I stand by my opinion of mononoke. Obviously quite a few people disagree on this board. That is your perogative. It is obvious you either look for or see something very different in that movie than I. It is a bad movie IMO. I am actually quite surprised people seem to like it so much here. Ah well....

Yeah, my copy arrived today, and as you pointed out, it basically looks like the others. Still, the image shown above is still retained, though not allowed on the cover itself. This is a nice thick one; can't wait to read it. Need to reread V for Vendetta first though (very impressed with the new mo...

I've never heard of this. I'll check it out. Whisper of the heart isn't by Miyzaki, but rather by Yoshifumi Kondo who I understand died from Cancer shortly after the making of them film. It is incredibly unfortunate since this may be among one of my favorite ghibli films (a bit of a shock given tha...

bah. Mononoke was a pointless excursion into mediocrity. :P Not to create contention. I think I've seen nearly every Ghibli film and been a fan since the mid 90's; but Mononoke is one of my absolute favorites. It is perhaps one of my all time favorite animated films and would go so far as talking a...

Is this the real cover for volume 6???

YEAH! I'd been waiting.
