Kanon — First Look
This is definitely one of those series where it takes a few episodes to really get a feel for it and decide if you like it even the slightest bit.
Ghost in the Shell
From the fast cars of Lupin to the naked women of GitS. That was the course of our travel anime. Kind of sounds a bit rock and roll.
Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro
Here’s the thing: I just haven’t been all that impressed by the Miyazaki films I’ve seen. Kiki’s Delivery Service I may well have ‘liked’ since it was something i watched because it was anime once I learned about anime (one of the first I saw that I knew about.) Next came Princess Mononoke which I just plain did not enjoy. Laputa still hasn’t been finished since my first attempt eight years ago (although in its defense, I turned it off due to loud neighbors and not the film itself.) Next came Spirited Away, which started out with promise and then just going and going and going…The biggest disappointment, however, was Nausicaa. I thought I’d finally found ‘my’ Miyazaki film, because I truly enjoyed the manga. Alas, that too was not meant to be.
So, on a flight to Los Angeles (for Anime Expo, actually), I decided to see if Miyazaki film #6 would be lucky and popped in The Castle of Cagliostro.
I found ‘my’ Miyazaki film.
