When I first heard of the latest animated movie feature from Studio Ghibli, I told myself that I shouldn’t miss it on the big screen. I’m a big fan of Miyazaki, of anything Ghibli-related. It all started, of course, when I watched Spirited Away (Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi). It was unlike anything I’ve ever seen before, and I got hooked immediately.
However, until now I’ve mostly watched Ghibli films with English subtitles – mainly because 1) my Japanese wasn’t that good, and 2) I wanted to fully enjoy the story, which would be impossible to do if I watched the Japanese version only.
Well, now comes Gake no Ue no Ponyo.
