Asking me to pick a favorite would be like choosing between my children. Well.. if I had any.

I don't venture here that often but...
I just happened to finish watching Princess Mononoke a few minutes ago....
I'm not to happy about the ending and a couple other things, but overall, it was a great movie. I still can't decide if I liked it more then Spirited Away though.

Oh man, I love that song....I spent nine months learning how to sing it for the school talent show, but they wouldn't let me because it was in Japanese -_-

Yeah....I actually knew a girl who was going to do a harp accompaniment for me, but they didn't know what I was saying and it might have been inappropriate. I had a translation of the lyrics, and it's really a very sweet song

That's why more high schools should offer Japanese as a class, even satellite classes will do

Spirited Away is possibly my favorite film of all time, period.
I don't know why, but it always makes me feel just a little sad... To me, it's very nostalgic, and it makes me miss childhood. Not that I appreciated childhood much while I was stuck in it...but, you know...
That song still goes through my head now and then. *siiiigh* Lovely music!
The dubbed version of Spirited Away wasn't too bad (even though I hate dubs), and I liked the voice for Chihiro, but they added a few lines. I think it was to explain things better, but it's sort of superfluous. For example, Chihiro says "A bathhouse?" or something like that upon seeing the bathhouse - because, you know, the audience just couldn't figure that out on their own.
Watch it in Japanese first.

I feel the same way about the movie. It's my favorite, too.
PM me sometime.

The scene with the train made me cry. It still does.
The Japanese version is muchly better, though. Even the plot is slightly different. Chihiro doesn't even know that Haku's a dragon until she starts shouting at him, and Haku's real name is longer and spiffier=3
-sigh- Nigihayami Kohaku Nushi....Just saying it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy^^
