Howl's Moving Castle


Yesterday night I watched this Japanese anime Howl's Moving Castle by Studio Ghibli with a mysterious person from "somewhere along the Atlantic coast" (in Rick's language). It was really good and and I thought the story line was somewhat stronger than some of the recent ones like Spirited Away, because there are fewer characters so there were more time to develop them.
Memorable Quote: "There is no reason to live if I cannot be beautiful" - Howl (the main character), how very camp :)

Glad to see my lingo is spreading around.

I've lost interest in that Bachelor anyway from 'somewhere on the Atlantic coast'...

HOWL'S is great - you should check out some of the earlier Ghibli ones as well.

Hiya Yat,
Andy from Devon here!
Been i while since we chatted. Another good film you should have a look at is Nausicaa also from the Ghibli collection.

Take care,
Andy :¬)

Cool, well my favourite is still Laputa because I think the story line was really simple and all of the characters were nicely developed :)

I like Totoro too, so cute!

I love Laputa. It's such a beautiful film. Most of the Ghibli films are beautiful - perfect to watch on a sketchy sunday. :)

Howl's moving castle was nice, too. The first one i saw on the big screen.

Rob.
