Kudos to the late and great Peter Boyle! FYI
He's famous for playing the Frankinstine monster ( In Young Frankinstine ) To younger generations he's known as Raymond's dad (in Everybody Loves Raymond).



His version of Muta rocked!


Peter, where ever you are, you ROCK DUDE!

I kinda feel sorry for Hiroyuki Morita. He's kinda new at directing so I'm hoping that he will improve.

Well you are entitled to your opinion.


Even though I love the film there where some bits that I didn't care for. Tim Curry ruined the The Cat King.


In my opinion the film's musical score was top notch. Way to go Yuugi Nomi!


By the way this film is linked to another Studio Ghibli film called Whisper of The Heart. Both TCR and Whisper were based on magna by Aoi Hiiragi.

That might be a little harder then you think.
As far as know there are 2 major dilects in China.
Manderin and Cantonese
Both are so different.
Example : One Chinese person speaks manderin and the other speaks cantonese.
You put them together at a table in a restaurant.
Even thought they are both Chinese, they would not understand each other at all!

Look on the bright side at least they didn't do a total hack job like 4Kids Entertainment did with Yu Gi Oh and other anime.

There are ALOT of animation programs. The best one I know of is Animation Shop. That one is for at home computer users like us.


From what I saw on the DVDs they use water colors in some of the backgrounds.

Nice lay out. A lot of these movies wher based on books and manga. Maybe you should put some info on that.

But if you want a truly unique spin... try spotlighing some of Ghibli's new talent once in a while.

The only exception is Whisper Of The Heart. The Cat Returns is sort of a sequal. TCR is a story written by Shizuku.
Baron and Muta where orignally from Whisper.
It even has one of the instrumental peices from Whisper that where used in 2 key scenes.

Hi
I play as fairyixifan!

One of my fav parts is Shenkuu.
Shenkuu is the new Neopets world that looks like ancient Japan/China.

Her VA Aki Maeda is also a really good singer. She also sang some songs that are featured in the original Japanese version of Yu-Gi-Oh!

TCR Merchandise and More!

*Grumbles* This wasn't easy for me to do since I don't live in Japan. I have mangaged to track down a few sites that sell TCR items.



I have also written a guide to Japanese culture stuff that appears in TCR and one on the art style of TCR.

This is mainly for people who are new to Manga and Anime though. Also works for parents who have young children.



The link to my page is in my sig, so help yourselves.


Please notify me if there are any problems. Thank You!

Well I like YuGiOh too.
But I like most kinds of Anime and magna.

Old school anime like Astroboy, Speed Racer and Transformers.

Yu Yu Haksusho
Slayers
Revolutionary Girl Utena


The Cat Returns
Kiki's Delivery Service



And that's just the tip of the iceburg!

LOL You should see my room! My tv cabinet is stuffed with anime tapes and DVDs. I have anime toys and manga scattered all over.



Astroboy and Speed Racer dubs where shown here in the US in the 60s.

In the 70's and 80's there where Christain children shows like Flying House and Superbook that are also anime.

Most american adults who watched those shows back then still have no clue that those shows where orignally Japanese.

When I tell people that those shows where anime, they are pretty surprised and some are even shocked.

---------------------------------
Pop culture isn't just about what's going on now, it's also about the past too. Guys like the Beatles helped pave the way for the new artisits of today.




-----------------------------------

Sad to say most people outside of Japan think of anime and manga as "Kid Stuff". I have to resist the urge to slap folks or roll my eyes, when they make coments like, "Why are you reading a kid's book?" "Oh you got kids?"
