Majo no takkyubin (Kiki's Delivery Service) [I love the world it is set in]

loved that one, was on TV (non commercial channel, so no ads, etc) a while back (dubbed), captured it, found it was better PQ than the dvd

very well put, disney are nothing more than blood suckers. the equivalent of "EA Games" in the gaming world!

You guys must have awesome broadcasts down under. I have to agree with you on the quality of the DVD. I think my Japanese Laser Disc looks better than the DVD. Of course it doesn't have Kirsten Dunst doing the voice, but then again, I prefer the original Japanese. Did you know that the voice of Kiki and her artist friend are done by the same voice actress? Pretty impressive to handle two major roles in a movie.

I didn't think that they braodcast everything in HD.

I understand what you're saying about Mike Myers, but I guess I meant as a voice actress. I didn't even realise it was the same person until I saw the credits.

Sorry, NOT Disney. Only distributed by the blood suckers. Directed by Hiyao Miyazaki and I believe produced by Studio Ghibli. Spirited Away is not my favorite Miyazaki film though. My favorites in order are. . . Majo no takkyubin (Kiki's Delivery Service) [I love the world it is set in], Tenku no Shiro Laputa (Castle in the Sky Laputa), Cagliostro no Shiro (Cagliostro's Castle) [A Lupin the 3rd Film], and Mononoke Hime (Princess Mononoke). Although not my fav because I don't like bugs, a lot of people would vouch for Nausicaa. Miyazaki is known as the Disney of Japan. Fortunately, not corrupted yet.

Oops, forgot Tonari no Totoro (My Neighbor Totoro) always a hit with the kids.

Have you seen the Japanase animation version of Metropolis?

It started for me with Akira, then Ghost in the Shell. I haven't seen that many and just watch ones that look interesting. I caught Metropolis on the TV and it was really good. Spirited Away was the last DVD I saw.

lol

i'm not, i've just happened to see a few popular ones. i don't go purposely looking for them

then Ghost in the Shell

they've been showing a program "ghost in the shell *something* complex" once per week on one of the non-commercial channels for quite some time here, never bothered to look into it and find out what it was

I burned out real fast on them, my teenagers and oldest daughter(23)

I saw Metropolis, wasn't bad, but not too impressed. I liked the Original Ghost in the Shell Movie. Anon, I recommend this one first if you're going to try Ghost in the Shell. My all time favorite is Ginga Tetsudo 999 (Galaxy Express 999). I believe the flying train in the movie Robots is homage to GE999. The movies were great as was the TV series. Unfortunately, might be a bit hard to find subbed or dubbed.

I haven't seen Sky Blue. Hmm. A Korean Movie in the Anime style. I might have to check it out.

The first season is called Ghost in the Shell 1st Gig Complex. The second is 2nd Gig Complex.

It is available on DVD as individual volumes (4 episodes) and also as a complete season.
