Anyone here seen Spirited Away from Hayao Miyazaki? I saw it 2 nights ago and was blown away by it. The plot was cool, the anime was amazing, and the dubbing over was exellent, with none of the "haha" syndrom found in dubbed over anime.

I saw it and liked it, but I prefer Anime with a little more action, like Princess Mononoke.

So do I, but movies like spirited away are a nice flick to engross yourself in for an afternoon, or anytime for that matter. Check out second renaissance on Animatrix for action and sweet CGI/ some other thing mixing in the actual movie.

Loved this movie, have a whole bunch of other anime feature lengths on my Netflix queue now because of it. Specially like that guy who pukes all over the place.

There is nothing with Spirited Away, and I can see that it is a nice film, but gawds was I getting bored from it.

Nothing wrong with the film itself, it is just like Luvian, I prefer anime that have a little more action in it.

Mind you, I do watch sappy shows from time to time, but when it comes to Anime, it is a whole different story.

A good example of what I like in Anime will be Trigun. It will make you laugh, and it will make you cry.

Me thinks every self-respecting Otaku of Anime should have this DVD sitting on his/her shelf. Ab-so-lute-ly magnificent...

Very cool movie, with all the imaginative creatures and stuff. As with all other anime, I seriously preferred to watch the subtitled version. I was advised to keep away from the dubbed version like from plague, since it's supposed to contain some 'elements' from Disney.

Spirits Forever, it's Grave of the Fireflies, not Grave of the Butterflies, lol.

I am not an anime fan, but I LOVED Spirited Away - in fact I would go so far as to say that it was the best film I saw last year.

What I am into, are films which are quite surreal - and this one certainly edged its way into that bracket alright! I sat throughout most of it with my mouth hanging open at the sheer weirdness of it all. Great imaginative stuff, sod your action films, this had something deeper to it, and I appreciate that.

Epona said it all. I usually dislike (and that's putting it very mildly) the sort of anime tripe that little teenage fanboys get off on, but I loved this movie.
