Calza Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I really enjoyed Castle of Cagliostro it wasn't quite what i had expected and i found the ploy a bit too predictable but netherless still a good movie. I'm looking forward too Kiki's Delivery Service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKOB Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 i really really enjoyed that film too, was it from a comic originally because it seems like theres a much larger story behind it. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarka Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I was going to come here complaining that our arial is broken. But looking at the scheduel - they're repeating every film they're showing next week! I hope that it's fixed by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaggle64 Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 Yeah Kiki was great - though now I think back to Sabrina The Teenage Witch, (which was made AfTER) and can't help but draw some similarities... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluejay Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Grave of the Fireflies will be on, it was in my EPG. You lying bastard. Ahem, I think I mistook Nausicca for Grave of the Fireflies. My mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Wolf Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 oooooooooo, out on dvd anywhere?? i loved Ki Ki today, cant wait for the awesomeness of Princess Mononoke tomorrow :D:D Unfortunatly no. There's a few torrents lying around but not the full 2 series although you can download it off iRC, but I really don't get how it works. Are the films they're showing in Japanese with subs or just the dub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calza Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Princess Mononoke tonight, really looking forward to it. If i'm not mistake this was the 2nd most successfull after Spirited Away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Wolf Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I absolutly hate dubs. Once you listen to the original track you never want to go back. I just checked the C4 website and they're showing the subbed versions next week I think. If I were you, I'd wait till then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaggle64 Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 It's a matter of taste really. The quality of the dub has generally been very good on most of the studio Ghibli films, so I'm quite comforatble with it, but there have been some pretty atrocious dubbings elsewhere. Princess Mononoke tonight, really looking forward to it. If i'm not mistake this was the 2nd most successfull after Spirited Away. Yes, I have this one on DVD but I'll probably just watch it anyway. As a wise man once said, it's so good I crap my pants every time I watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaq365 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Not watching Princess Mononoke as 1)It's a dub 2)I watched it on DVD last week and 3)It's nowhere near as impressive without the awesome DTS soundtrack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaggle64 Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 I agree, I just love Film Four. Mononoke, though not as good as Spirited is actually my personal fav, though I will wait until I've seen Nausicaa. Laputa is great too - it's characters and scenery is like Yorkshire on speed.

Dark Wolf Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Laputa is like Skies of Arcadia, so it's great. I don't know why people like Spirited Away so much. It's a brilliant film, but it's not Ghibli's best. My top five Ghibli films are probably: 1. Whisper of the Heart 2. Grave of the Fireflies 3. Laputa 4. Porco Rosso 5. And Nausicaa and Totoro joint 5th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtle Squad Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Mononoke is awesome, i've watched it more than I have even Akira, heheh. I havent seen any of the others yet, though Spirited Away and Grave of the Fireflies are the ones I plan on watching next. Haven't really been in an Anime mood lately, more gamey.

gaggle64 Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 They're not showing it, but I would definitly recommend Pom Poko - about a race of magical racoons who are forced to defend their forest home from development by utilising their transformation skills and "Racoon pouches". It is wonderfully weird, and is also generally well made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supergrunch Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I just saw a bit of mononoke on film four, and realised that of course everything is dubbed... I'm not watching it now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaggle64 Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 This isn't a sassy remark, but my posts on this thread do seem to be emitting some kind of pheramone, subsequently attracting ultra-knowledgable-anime-types determined to leave their mark on my own less prodigous knowledge. (God forbid this continues into mating season.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
