Spirited away

Otaku Girl

I finally watched it last night after two years of procrastination-I owned the DVD but never bothered watching it. Wow,it was great. Sort of like a Japanese Alice in wonderland. The dubbing was great too. Can anyone recommend me something like this?

Have you seen any of the other Studio Ghibli movies? If not then do, they are all great but some people have their own favourites. If i could recommend a few id say Princess Mononoke, Howl's Moving Castle, Nausicaa Valley of the Winds or Kiki's Delivery Service. Pretty much any of the ghibli movies i have watched had fantastic dubbing and voice acting

Tuwoa

if you havent seen Howls moving castle id suggest it, Paprika is another great movie but I'm not sure if its dubbed

I just watched Spirited Away last week from some recomendations on here. I really enjoyed it. Interesting story and it looks fantastic. I'm trying to get my hands on a few other Ghibli movies as i've only seen that and My Neighbour Totoro from them so far.

I went to see the subtitled version in the kino cinema in cork when it first came out and thought it was brilliant .A master piece if I do say so.

Spirited away is an amazing film but my favourite Studio Ghibli film is Howl's Moving Castle. Fantastic piece of work!

I've sat down to watch Spirited Away a billion times now with my daughter and it never gets old or boring It really is such a fantastic movie. Kiki's Delivery Service is another great movie to watch if you enjoyed Spirited Away. Quality voice acting as well, on a par with Spirited Away.

Studio Ghibli Is the best Japanese Animation Company, Not none of this Dragon ball crap, metal alchemist crap. They are a Animation company in the true sense the only company that equal them are Pixar.

Are you comparing Dragonball to Fullmetal Alchemist? Because that's an odd comparison, and FMA's animation is a lot better than DBZ's.
(Have you seen the original or the new one?)

You can't really expect the animation of a series to match that of a high-budget movie though

Everything about FMA is better than DBZ. And as was said, entierly different animes.

Anything by Studio Ghibli is great.

No, anything by studio ghibli is not great.

Everything they make will be very well drawn, and some of their movies are amazing, but tales from earthsea... pure poopie

To be fair, that wasn't Hayao Miyazaki, but Gorō Miyazakii, his nephew.

...and yes, pure crap.

I know, hayao miyazaki is rumoured to be on poor terms with his son over that venture.

hayao miyazaki and takahata are what make ghibli more than just pretty picture makers.

But they've still let goro work on another film >.< it annoys me that it'll sell despite being crap, just because of the name

True. It'll be Gorō Miyazaki.

We do have Ponyo on the Cliff released. It's great.

Have yet to watch that, that's on my summer list, along with girl leapt time.

But, back OT. Spirited away was good, very much a westerner friendly anime, makes for a very good intro to the genre of anime, with a lot of shiny parts, and I must say, I DO love that train. But I can't help but feel that miyazaki has done better (hayao, that is, goro making something this good is about as likely as dokuro chan being made into a feature length)

I love the movie!!!
It's more better than those disney movies....
You should watch Howl's Moving Castle!
It's great movie too...

Well more so Anime in General. an awful lot of shows/movies are extremely bad and there is some people that look at as the best thing since sliced bread, now don't get me wrong I look at animation like films being good or bad not where they come from.
