    My brother in Japan sent me over the Studio Ghibli Collectors Edition of Kiki's Delivery Service. Just watched it yesterday, it was very lovely...

    Now I'm only missing one Miyazaki film, and that's Nausicaa, and Howl's Moving Castle too I suppose...

    Ha.. and I also need Porco Rosso... it's years since I've seen that one...
