THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I found it entertaining. I don't have many scenes that particularly stuck out to me, but it was a good way to spend some time. The animation was good and Howl was a fun character. Modified by Kineta, 09-09-12, 7:14 PM |

A very good movie. Miyazaki is a genius even with other people's works. Now I wonder what it'd be like if Alan Moore and Miyazaki met and discussed adaptions of some sort. |

SCENERY PORN. I mean, whoa. Not a masterpiece, but a really nice watch nevertheless :) I enjoyed it. I need to watch Aria, like now D: - If you believe this place holds you, it is a prison.

Was an enjoyable movie. Amazing animation + great soundtrack. But oh my, the story was so choppy-- the happy ending just came out of nowhere lol. I have to admit what stole the show for me was Sophie. She's the cutest Ghibli character I've seen so far, just so adorable-- especially with short gray hair <3 Earth gets angry after a kick in the face. |

Now, Japanese lessons in school are awesome. First we watched Ponyo, and now we watched Howl's Moving Castle. Great! : D Anyway, as for the movie; God that Witch of the Wilds Wastes sure was ugly xD.. Scarecrow dude was god damn awesome. Calcifer too. Especially when he's om nom nom'ing stuff xD Oh and I want on of those cloaks that Markl had : D Lastly, the one thing I don't get.. What kind of trivial thing did they start that war over anyway? >.> Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. |

I'll be honest now, this movie was a mess. It didn't help that I had to watch it in english either. 6/10 |

This was the weirdest anime I have ever watched yet but it was fun. It was nice to have a granny as protagonist. |

Sophie was a good character. It was interesting how she gradually changed after meeting the teacher, but it was annoying that it was never really explained. I am just wondering how he never noticed his missing heart when i picked it (calciifer) up. |

OH MY GOD THIS WAS AWESOME!!! For a long time i heard of how good this show was, and i thought that it was mostly hype. I watched today and I was blown away. The magic was was incredible and the humor was great and the english voice actors were perfect for their roles. I am officially a huge fan! :-D |

wow... so beautiful.. for me this film was pure art(work).. i'm speechless haha^^ however, i do have to add that for me there were a lot of plot holes. i still have a lot of unanswered questions but i'll be reading the book soon:) i actually watched it dubbed (which i usually never do..) but howl's voice was surprisingly realing fitting... so deep and mysterious somehow. i think i'll give it a 9/10 .. or maybe even 8:/ even though i really want to give it a 10.. it just lacks something, but it was SOSOSOSO beautiful to watch.. i smiled like a bloody idiot till it got "dramatic" (and somehow sloppy/messy..xD).. aww, i just don't get it why they didn't fix it before they made it official.. i mean c'mon, they should have noticed those plot holes.. or maybe they wanted it that way?.. i'm still a bit confused somehow.. i noticed nearly at the very beginning that calcifer had his heart.. that was pretty obvious imho.. mhm, oh well.. i might read some more threads from here, maybe they'll answer some of my questions :3 |
