Academy Award™-winner Spirited Away, that is, according to the good people at Nausicaa.net. Guess I shouldn't be too surprised about the DVD, seeing as there's a copy of Princess Mononoke in a box somewhere around here, but I almost slapped myself on the forehead for looking for a copy of Kiki's Delivery Service on DVD at Blockbuster the other night when I remembered that Disney hadn't gotten 'round to putting one out yet. . .
Or rather, I should'a been looking in new releases. Duh.
Want to know less? See the Slashdot post on the award, and read the comments. If you're really, really bored.
Should we ever find ourselves in the same vicinity again, I'm afraid I broke down & got the Ghibli dvd archives- we can have a little subtitle-marathon.
[It doesn't include Spirited Away, though, tant pis.]
Hey, Neo -- what about *My Neighbor Totoro*?
Garrity- anytime you folks get a dvd-player, you're more than welcome to borrow Tortoro [too damn cute], Mononoke, Nausicaa [my new fav], Kiki's, Grave of the Fireflies [shudder] or any of the nonstate-side released stuff in there. Caveat for the children's stuff- it's subs, though, not dubs [although A's learning to read really fast...]
yay! I think the whole building heard me when I saw that on the Oscars. ;] Nausicaa.net rocks.
Sasa ndugu?! Unafanya nini? Uko wapi?
From the thin layer of snow outside the window and the distinct lack of Kiswahili speakers in the area, I'm guessing I'm in Minneapolis.
How you doin'?
