Laputa: Castle in the SkyAs soon as my projects are out of the way, I’m off to the Studio Ghibli Museum in Mitaka. So, before I get there I’m watching all my old favourites from the Ghibli collection (I’ve got 13 of their films on an external HD I bought from home, along with the rest of my DVD collection). I bought a cool bed from Takeya for my apartment which you can incline – perfect for watching movies late night – and so I watched Laputa: Castle in the Sky again. I had forgotten just how good this film is, so I’m posting about it here so that anyone who’s into their Anime who hasn’t checked it out can get my recommendation. It’s now my favourite Miyazaki film of all time.

    Stig do you reckon you will still be in Japan when Ponyo on a Cliff is released. If you are let me know what its like :D

    Castle in the Sky is a great film but I havent watched it in like over 10 years :S

    I know Ghibli worked on Ghost in the Shell, I’m not sure whether it was the first or the second. Hopefully soon I’ll get round to seeing the 2nd one soon :D
