Best anime movie to hit America

Rating: 10/10 (4 June 2009)

This has got to be one of my more favorite anime's. Miyazaki is the greatest anime director out there and in my opinion there will never be a greater one. This is an anime however, so many Americans will find some of the characters and images a bit weird and disturbing in the sense of images. I honestly think that a child would be afraid of this film because of the main villain, so a child under 8 maybe is advised to not see this. I love anime's but the one thing that always gets me is the horrible dialog that English dubbed anime's contain, one being dragon ball z. This film, however, is not one of those films. The dialog is very well thought out and Americans will be pulled into the story more than if the film's dub made Americans go, "What do they mean by that," or, "Wow that was utterly obvious." The voice-overs are perfectly done and performances will make you cry and laugh in many different scenes. This film has it all; love, comedy, horror, action, and especially mystery. I guarantee seeing this, the Oscar was much deserved.
