[QUOTE="Pax, post: 809502, member: 6875"] Well, I'm back form that movie, so I'll be ambling over to the Rogue's Gallery (just gotta find the place) to post those Epic spellcasters in a moment. However, let me digress a bit ... nay, let me e honest, let me hijack this thread and GUSH about the GREAT film I just saw: [hijack] The movie I saw tonight was Miyazaki's [i]Spirited Away[/i], and I have to say -- it was [b]bar none[/b] the single, absolute, unequalled [b][color=red]BEST[/color][/b] anime I have [b]ever[/b] in seen -- in my whole 30+ year life. Seriously. Superbly dubbed, and as usual, impeccably animated by Studio Ghibli (?sp), this movie blew me away completely -- none of the characters were flat or one-dimensional, the visuals all worked amazingly, and the attention to detail was a high-water-mark even for Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli (?sp). As odd as it may sound ... while Chihiro is climbing a ladder (barefoot), the animators even took the time to animate her [i]toes[/i] wiggling ... ! Who would have expected [b]that[/b] sort of attention to detail ... ? Frankly, even expanding beyond the scope of anime alone, I'm hard pressed to think of a [b]single[/b] movie of any genre that was a more [i]satisfying[/i] viewing experience, than [i]Spirited Away[/i] was. I [b]will[/b] own a copy of this on DVD -- god HELP the schmuck who gets between me and my copy of this, and may his health insurance premiums be FULLY up-to-date, heh! Some films can tie it; some MOODS render it not the best thing to watch )if you're looking for an action flick, this isn't it -- no mega-deah-robots, no ninja, no gunfighting ...). What it is, in essence, is a truly timeless, classic sort of "fairy tale" story. Several classic elements, but none overused to the point of becoming "same old, same old". The [b]storytelling[/b] isn't just good; it's just beyond belief! Truly an engaging film; I'm normally constantly sucking at my drink durign a movie; tonight, I forgot I HAD one. I forgot I was [b]thirsty[/b] ... ! ... Jeeze, listen to me, it's been four hours, and I'm [b]still[/b] absolutely [i]gushing[/i] over this film!!! If you like anime, and enjoy non-MegaRobot, non-action anime (along the lines of [i]My Neighbor Totoro[/i], [i]Princess Mononoke[/i], and other Miyazaki films) ... you have [b]GOT[/b] to see [i]Spirited Away[/i] ... I think it may just be his lifetime BEST film, period!!! [/hijack] [/QUOTE]
