    Given my most recent viewed anime, that may be true. Even a healthy diet has room for cupcakes <3.

    Laputa: Castle in the Sky - 9/10

    Miyazaki continues to wow me again, Mark Hamill is a hammily villainous anime character yet again, and I just can't get enough airships and innocently precocious heroines.

    My Neighbor Totoro later today! Hopefully... *twiddles fingers*

    Really, why wasn't I told of these films before? Better than 99% of the crap movies today, with the other 1% only barely on par.
    May I recommend 5 Centimeters per Second and The Garden of Words. Two unbelievable films; you become completely engrossed in the story.

    Yeah I knew about Ghibli movies growing up the same way I knew about Pokemon and Naruto (despite not watching it).

    Anyway, I kind of agree. It more than the story that matters in Shinkai's films. If you're taking his works at face value then you're doing yourself an injustice as the themes and messages delve deep.

    Guess that's the downside of living in a small country like Belgium. Not even Ghibli movies have gotten a lot of recognition over here, and barely any showings. A few months ago I tried recommending Howl's moving castle, wolf children and Mononoke-hime as movies to some people, as soon as I said they were anime it was a no go for them. Which I really consider a loss for them as they are great movies, at least it's somewhat better with the younger generations.

    You don't need to be so aggressive with me.

    I know that the younger one of my sisters has the exact prejudices about anime that were talking about here though, despite watching Sailor Moon as a kid, lol.
    Tell her that she has shit taste in English.

    It could be slightly worse, it could be Nicki Minaj, but she is indeed beyond redemption.

    He's like that all the time. Just insult him back or something. I'd advise slapping, but the technology ain't quite there yet.

    I think the deepest anime movies there are would be Satoshi Kon's works. He was a pure genius.
