Alright, that's great news kupo! I'm sure you'll enjoy "Grave" very much. Tokyo Godfathers is pretty good, though not my fav. (I do love Hana-san though >.<)

Disney have apparently promised to reissue the film though, so I guess I've just got to be patient I was also very privilaged to recieve a copy of Kiki's Delivery Service yesterday, which I promptly popped into my PS2 and watched. I suffered from acute cheesy grin and warm fuzzy feeling syndrome for the next 1 hour 40 minutes! That movie is just so damned sweet ^^

I've yet to see "Kiki's" since my copy is on backorder from Japan. But, I'm glad to hear it's a good film. ^_^ Too bad about "Laputa" though.

So far its only been 4 guys (so I've not tried showing them Kiki ^^), who've seen a little anime... reception for the movies has all been pretty good (Akira x3, Metropolis and Spirited Away x1) and I just seem to derive a strange pleasure from getting people to watch anime!

Yes, getting people to watch anime or more anime is only fun if the others are willing. My God, you wouldn't believe how many people I tried to convince to watch other series besides "DBZ" or "Sailormoon" where I live and it was a total failure. For females it was all Cardcaptor Sakura or Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon and guys it was all DBZ, Cowboy Bebop, or anything else on Adult Swim. -_-;;; It's very sad.

Hey Hyuga, estoy alegre verle el hablar más, pero utilizo por favor PMs (mensaje privado) para hacer preguntas personales en el futuro, okay?
