If you think about it, thats all Mononoke are – oddities.Their personalities are extremely similar too, they both are calm and cool-headed...

But I'm not sure the quality -- or at least the appeal to my taste -- will be that high. I don't see any shows I expect to be as good as the great shows of this past summer season, such as Aoi Hana and Bakemonogatari. But...

The director of such animated classics as Princess Mononoke and the Academy Award–winning Spirited Away seems content to sit back and watch life around him go by, a pleasure he passes on to us through the colorful...

Ghibli animation looks great on a theater screen, so I’m happy Disney still sees it fit to put some promotion behind showing Ghibli in US theaters in spite of some pretty weak box office numbers for their previous efforts. Ponyo is different...

Ponyo is my favorite Miyazaki film in a good long time, thanks in large part to its rich and dynamic animation, which makes it a film that truly benefits from being seen on the big screen. It's...

It was in early 2003 just after Spirited Away won the Academy Award for Best Animated Picture. Disney had decided to re-release the movie into theaters for a couple of weeks before they released it onto DVD. So a couple of my high school buddies...

It will be worth the wait, if the team that brought us Mononoke (Kenji Nakamura x Takashi Hashimoto...
