I wish I had soot balls to do my work...
Well, I finally saw "Spirited Away." I'm not really an anime fan - but since we bought the dvd I thought I'd give it a shot. Course Kyle made me watch it in Japanese with subtitles to hear it in it's "original" format. This sucked only because I really had to pay attention and couldn't read my magazines. But it was a great movie. It had some scary elements - I can't stand grotesquely drawn things, but it worked very well. The movie had a good message and of course was visually stunning. The only thing I could gripe about was that it had the typical "yelling of the characters names when they are in trouble i.e."HAAKU!!!!" I hate that. Something about those child-like Japanese voices screeching at the top of their lungs that really grates me. The soot balls were awesome - and I like the fact that the "food" they ate were those little Girl's Day rock candies shaped like stars. I loved those things. I could eat them all day.
The only other anime I've ever been truly enamored with was Cowboy Bebop - which is the bomb. I hear they play it on Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim" late at night. For the record the only other anime I have seen is Princess Mononoke and it sucked ass. I still have nightmares of that deer with the man's face. Blech.
Anyway - "Spirited Away" was a great movie, go see it.
