Right on...according to the newbies at my old club, Gainax only made one TV show (Eva), Miyazaki only had two good films (Mononoke & Spirited) and the best stuff from Rumiko Takahashi was Inuyasha & Ranma...
Hehe. We're kindred spirits, you and I... Although I have to say I was given a break by being in Japan. The shock came from joining this forum...
I've been following Inuyasha for the past two and a half years and while it started out well, she sidetracked and now she's completely lost us and the point... Fortunately, I feel that it's winding down.
Mononoke sucked in my opinion. It was, in my book, the worse Miyazki production. Too much of a Nausicaa rehash for my taste. Even the soundtrack sounded similar. And after reading the Nausicaa manga to the end, I can safely say that Mononoke was the sequel to Nausicaa, but in a different setting.
Macross Movie was way ahead of it's time.... I'll throw another one in that category: Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro!
Good one. I agree. Although not one of the better Lupins. Still it holds up very well, you're right.
Indeed. That's why I end up waiting around for the next Ghibli or whatever Otomo/RinTaro/Madhouse put out to get some decent meat (or magic)....
Did you see "Neko no ongaeshi" (I think the English title is "The cat returns"), the latest Ghibli? (It's already one year old, though...) It was pretty good. Light.
