yes, we need this one back on track. i finished the GE999 series about 3-4 months ago. wow, what a great series. i've read something in the past that when the film came out the TV series was still running so they had to make the end of the series sort of like the film, but it was so different that i didn't see that coming. what a great one, watch that series if you can. now i'm getting ready to watch Captain Harlock: Box vol.1 (1978) [LSTD01296] Captain Harlock: Box vol.2 [LSTD01313] can't wait ________________________________ the rein-o official signature:

I need to find the English translation of that, beyond the first 9 episodes on Hulu. Love those first few episodes, though. I assume you watched the Japanese version? tasuke wrote: for my personal part, i don't entirely share the popular mindset that Moe is inherently evil incarnate, there are many terrific moe series produced in the last decade, many of which i love dearly. Funny you should bring up Moe. I'm four episodes into "Welcome to the NHK" which looks into Moe culture (gal games, maid cafes, models, body pillows). I'm enjoying the show, thus far.

watching InuYasha almost finished with season 2 and struggling to watch Fushigi Yugi OAVs (I might give up on them but I really want to see all of it since I bought all the recent DVDs and the manga-Viz big versions). I am expecting InuYasha to yell Akane instead of Kagome.

From current airing series: Hibike! Euphonium - at first I thought that it will be so so like K-On, but so far it's pretty good, and they actually train and play music there.
Strike Witches: Operation Victory Arrow - OVA 1 was b**chy, but OVA 2 is nice, so if someone liked the TV series, this is a must.
Nagato Yuki-chan no Shoushitsu - It was hard getting into it at first, since the designs and characters personalities are a bit different (in Nagato's case A LOT different), but I like it so far. If you guys watched Haruhi movie, then you'll like this.

just got around to seeing Kiki's Delivery Service for the first time a couple days ago. kind of dismissed STUDIO GHIBLI works offhand as a whole in the past, just figured none of it would be likely to appeal to me.
i'm quickly beginning to grasp what sort of mistake that line of thinking was. what i have seen so far, namely Nausicaa, Mononoke, Laputa, and now Kiki, it is all really, really good stuff. i can't believe what i was actually missing all of these years. please forgive me...

Now you should also watch Grave of the Fireflies, My Neighbour Totoro, Porco Rosso, Whisper of the Heart (and The Cat Returns after it), The Ocean Waves. And that's a good start.

Watch out tasuke, next thing you know you will want one of these: Ghibli is well represented on LD and Princess Mononoke is often cited as an excellent laserdisc release too (PM has an awesome gatefold jacket and is usually pretty cheap too - the Ghibli Ga Ippai LDBOX is still somewhat expensive in the US on the other hand).

I kinda did the same thing. I was blown away with Castle of Cagliostro (not Gibli, but Miyazaki) and Princess Mononoke, then lost interest after watching Kiki and Totoro. Wasn't till I watched Spirited Away in the theater that I regained my appreciation.
