      Ponyo

      I don't know the full story, but this looks like another winner.



      The scenery in the trailer alone looks beautiful. And talk about an all-star cast!

      I just wanted to put this out there for those who are interested and those who are Miyazaki fans. Comes out Aug. 14.

      But yes, I do think I'll be seeing this one. Studio Ghibli has never failed me before.

      Why's that a bad thing? Besides, knowing his style, there's bound to be a "growing up" theme in it.

      I already watched it (unless it's another one about Ponyo?) and that was my conclusion. It really is the most kid-oriented.

      Not that it's a bad thing, but I kept hoping that he'll make something like Spirited Away or Princess Mononoke and was disappointed These two are the best anime cartoons I've seen and nothing comes close to them. And I couldn't really connect to this one, it felt like it was made for somebody much younger.

      Anyway everybody will see for themselves! All that depends from expectations.

      Spirited Away was great wasn't it?

      I love all his works (there's only 4 I haven't seen though, Mononoke included). I'll love anything he releases. He's just that brilliant to me. But I can see why you'd think that. It looks like it's the only one of his movies where the main character is a girl younger than 9 or 10 years old.

      I'd watch the Japanese version first, but I like watching the dubs of his movies first.

      Yes Spirited Away was amazing! And I really recommend you to watch Princess Mononoke, it's just as great as Spirited Away. Probably even the best of his works.

      The main character in Ponyo is a boy, by the way, not a girl, at least during watching it I was sure that the whole story was told from his perspective
