I'd much rather watch it with the original japanese voices.
Studio ghibli movies are awesome.
[QUOTE=FunkyHippo;15721154]What the fuck man, Liam Nesson is everywhere, hes in my video games, my fucking music, my movies, and my fucking anime.
Holy fuck why doesn't he just live with me.
Holy fuck man I fucking hate the jonas brothers, they almost ruined Night at The Museum 2, and now they're after the least animation I respect which is anime. Holy fuck man why don't they just ban every artist in the world except the Jonas Brothers so we can listen to them all day so it fucking fastly kills us.
Wow man holy fucking wow.
Hes not just the shit, hes the only shit. Miyazaki is a fucking legend by my personal book.
I bet hes facepalming at the jonas brothers right now.[/QUOTE]
Tl;dr: Holy fuck.

[quote]Just in case some of you aren’t already reading Daniel Thomas MacInnes’ sublime Ghibli Blog and had missed this I thought I’d post it here - UK paper The Independent has an interview with the world’s greatest animated film-maker Hayao Miyazaki. Its a great piece - as well as a brief overview of his work, he talks about working on the forthcoming Ponyo, and why he made the decision to avoid digital techniques in it’s production:
Having experimented with digital and CG technology on Howl’s Moving Castle, Miyazaki has gone back to basics for Ponyo, which is made up of a stunning 170,000 individual hand-painted frames. He says he has seen none of the landmark digital animations of the past two decades, including Toy Story and Pixar Studio’s recent smash Wall.E, despite being friends with Pixar’s creative director John Lasseter.
“I can’t stand modern movies,” he winces. “The images are too weird and eccentric for me.” He shuns TV and most modern media, reading books or travelling instead. It is no surprise to find that the multimillionaire director’s car, parked outside the Ghibli studio, is an antique Citröen CV, an icon of minimalist, unfussy driving.
Ghibli’s creative engine house is a reflection of its founder’s preoccupation with authenticity and distrust of popular culture. New talent (the studio has just added another 150 animators to its 270 full-time staff) is tested out in a sort of animation boot camp, where the use of cell phones, blogs, iPods and other electronic devices is forbidden.
“Young people are surrounded by virtual things,” he laments. “They lack real experience of life and lose their imaginations. Animators can only draw from their own experiences of pain and shock and emotions.”
He is known to lecture constantly on the need to find harmony between the human hand, eye and brain, and the ever-expanding computer toolbox. Ponyo, he says, is partly about living without technology. “Most people depend on the internet and cellphones to survive, but what happens when they stop working? I wanted to create a mother and child who wouldn’t be defeated by life without them.”
It’s a fascinating read, but somehow makes that August release date seem even further away…[/quote]
It's got better visuals than most anime movies but that's it.
Miyazaki's movies are essentially "[i]Coca Cola machine commercial[/i]" meets "[i]Lord of the Rings Two Towers Requim[/i]".
See for yourself.
Mute the sound on this video:

I've seen his movies and I've seen better movies.
You must watch this with Japanese audio. Can't have some english dudes ruin the movie.
You realize that Studio Ghibli's contract with Disney is such that if Disney ever makes a shit dub of a Ghibli movie, Hayao Miyazaki gets to fly in and flay all involved alive with a rusty potato peeler, right?
The fact that it's not Miley and it's not one of the gay Jonas brothers gives me faith. The fact that it has Matt Damon, Tina Fey, and Liam Neeson gives me more faith.
Looks good. I'll watch it. Not in public, though....
Watching that trailer was like an acid trip
[QUOTE=aidinigan;15719958]Looks cool, but i'm into the hardcore violent animes. Spirited away was great though.[/QUOTE]
It's things like this that make it so goddamn difficult to like Japanese animation.
Excellent cast and excellent director
[QUOTE=Akuma_lektro;15723582]I'd much rather watch it with the original japanese voices.[/QUOTE]
I dunno, every other Miyazaki movie I've seen had a good english dub.
Subs just make it harder to focus on the animation.
Spirited Away was amazing! i love that! got rated 5 stars in the US
[QUOTE=Xenocidebot;15725398]I dunno, every other Miyazaki movie I've seen had a good english dub.

I don't know if he meant that he wanted subtitles on.
It's going to be ruined because Hayao signed a contract with Disney back when Spirited Away was made.
Dubs make my skin crawl, even good ones. Although thinking about it, he probably made it so it syncs up to English.
Shit.
Yeah, syncing the animation up with the English dub is literally the only change Ghibli will allow Disney to make.
This made Pom Poko very, very awkward to translate for obvious reasons.
I thought the Princess Mononoke dub was very well done.
Disney? I hope they don't ruin it
What is it with people bashing the one of the Jonas Family in this movie? It's not like they are gonna start singing in the movie or anything. Just one of the faggots that think if someone is a pop-star, then they suck at everything else they will ever do.
[QUOTE=lmaoboat;15721013]Is that a condom on it's head?[/QUOTE]
The thing on it's head is ponyo, :downs:
The boy is Sousuke
Seems quite interesing, gonna check it out
[QUOTE=Atomic_punch;15726825]Disney? I hope they don't ruin it[/QUOTE]
disney is only doing the English release, meaning, they pretty much only got voice actors.

who cares
Cry and obsess over your anime a bit more you dumb nerd
[QUOTE=V12US;15726820]I thought the Princess Mononoke dub was very well done.[/QUOTE]
That was actually pre-Disney, but they still do a pretty good job on the recent ones.
Myazaki movies are always really good. My Neighbor Totoro was incredibly cute and fun.

Nonsense. Dubs can be good.
For example, the English track for Castle in the Sky was far superior to the original.

I thought the PM dub was somewhat... odd.
I mean, Rip Torn as a Japanese Monk? Eh wot?
Giant fishes.
Running baby.
Giant waves.
What next will you expect?
Liam Neeson and Matt Damon? Together?
Can it get more badass? All it needs is Morgan Freeman. And Daniel-Day Lewis.
If Liam Neeson is in it as a voice sound awesome.
