Loving the Ghibli. I was lucky enough to see some Ghibli's at the cinema: Princess Mononoke, Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away ...amazing on the big screen. I also saw Nausica (spelling?) on CH4 one morning and was supprised to learn how old it was. The quality is so consistant with Ghibli it's untrue.
I think I saw My Neighbour Tortorro on CH4 aswell. But, without sounding like I am sucking up to the hosts, I think Laputa Castle in the Sky is my fave.
Looking forward to hearing more, aswell as perhaps how you guy's think Ghibli fits into the anime world, alongside masterpieces like Akira etc. I know you touched upon Urotsokidoji: Legend of the Demon Womb (spelling!?) I remember when someone at school lent me that back in the days of VHS, jesus christ! I had to wedge books and furniture against my bedroom door in case my mum tried to come in. To be fair, she would have seen me in a state of disturbance rather than anything else.
Great intro guy's!
