Posted by Phyrra on 05.19.2006, 04:54 PM: Contains minor spoilers about Howl's Moving Castle ~ you have been war By the novel, Ingary is the place where the castle is set. Wales also exists, but is another simaltanious world. One of the castle's doors (the black one) leads to Wales. I'm hesitant to say more in case anyone hasn't read the novel.

Posted by micg huz on 05.20.2006, 10:33 AM: hey man the dash board is so great hah - dont worry about translating that sentance - ime sure its all spelt wrong and some of it is (supposed to be) conjagated, so you wouldnt find it in spell check. -that was my attemp at making a plea to german speaking ghibli fans and should read something like "for all you germans out there in the world can you help me?" (but my germans rusty as and it probabaly makes no sense!) sorry to confuse you dude - i cant remember exactly what it sais on the boxs in the scene - check out the bit in letties (near the beggining) and type those words into the translator see what you get.

Howl just happens to be born in our world, and in Wales. He just goes to another dimension to work.

Posted by micg huz on 05.21.2006, 10:28 AM: okay thast cool. so howl lives in wales and does his bizz about in the magic world of ....... i forget.... what phyrra said. and sofie finds the castle by simply walking out into the wastes from the normal world - so it (this magical realm) exists then kindof as part of the normal world - or is atleast accesable by everyone. simply by walking into it - then wher does sofie live - her town??? - is that in switzerland? or wales? - but what about the seemingly german text (you see that is whats cousing all my consternation - that bloody writing)???

Posted by Phyrra on 05.25.2006, 12:14 PM: Ok, I've finally got hold of a german's view on the mysterious writing... Here is more or less what he said...

Posted by shiawase on 05.25.2006, 12:36 PM: Wow, good job. I remember I asked a college prof online to translate some Spanish for me I think it was. Very good resource if you ask me. She replied almost immediatly. I didn't think she would... hmm, anyways. Awesome dude. 8]

Posted by Phyrra on 05.25.2006, 02:50 PM: Thank you, Shiawase. I'll pass on the compliments to the german guy. He'll be very pleased, I'm sure

Posted by Phyrra on 06.07.2006, 04:26 PM: Actually, micg huz, where abouts is that writing? I can't find it...
|
Posted by shiawase on 06.07.2006, 04:38 PM: I'm pretty sure it's at the beginning when they're running through the town.

Posted by Phyrra on 06.07.2006, 04:44 PM: That makes the whole thing a bit suspicious, in my opinion... Does Studio Shibli have a german animator who is forced to do all the work and who snuck in a plea for rescue...
