Absolute Anime

I really can't pick a favorite, but I think it would be between Laputa, Kiki's Delivery Service, and Spirited Away.

you should watch spirited away!!!! fantastic!!! ooohh... Mononoke Hime too and Kiki's delivery... grab a copy of it!!

Does Hayao Miyazaki only do anime films?
What other anime has Hayao Miyazaki done, because the only one I've heard of that u lot listed r Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away, but I ain't seen either.

Yep Me neither

If you want to know more about Hayao Miyazaki, this would be a good page to visit:

Thank you!

I love Studio Ghibli!
"Grave of the fireflies" was the first I saw and that was the first time I had to realize that anime doesn't mean fanatsy, sci-fi and fun. Up til today it is one of the best anti-war movies I have ever seen - it shows what really happens to the innocent.
Luckily I could watch "Princess Mononoke" and "Spirited Away" on the big screen e.g. cinema. That adds so much to the atmosphere!
Still if I have to pick one fav I probably would go with "Nausicaa" or "Laputa".
But I also enjoyed the more children-movies "Kiki's delivery service" and "My neighbor Totoro" (wouldn't it be fun having a Totoro in the backyard? ).
The only movie I found very disturbing was "Pom Poco" - raccoons with magical balls...
And for those who liked "Whisper of the heart" I can assure that "The cat returns" brings back the character of the Baron in a quite more fantastic way.
And how could I almost forget "Porco Rosso" - yes, a movie about a flying pig. *grin*

Can't wait to see "Howl's Moving Castle". It's funny, I have read some of Dianna Wynne Jones' books and like the worlds she is creating and now one of the books I haven't heard of is made into anime by Ghibli -- I'm not sure if I should read the book before or afterwards.

I do know that his first film was "The Castle of Casglogo" or something like that. It was a "Lupin III" film.

And as far as I can tell, Miyazaki does ONLY anime films.

Primes so helpful

Oh! My guitar teacher worked on the English music for My Neighbor Totoro. I haven't seen the movie, though.

Iv cn the majority of those films and they're real gd! I cnt choose! AH!

Grave of the Fireflies

Howl's moving castle, I loved that the most. ^_^

i'm also a big fan of not just miyazaki but studio ghibli altogether!

Mononoke is my favorite, but I'm also partial to Nausicaa. Most all of his movies are excellent, but there are a few strange ones.
