Oooh! I just watched Tales from Earthsea. I loved it! Perhaps more than Howl's Moving Castle. (I know, shock horror scandal!) Whoever told Obsidian Raven's Song: that it wasn't as good was sorely mistaken. Maybe it's not brilliantly adapted from the books, but from what I remember from reading them, it seems like a sequel? I dunno, it's been a couple of years. I really enjoyed it anyway. The beginning was a bit confusing, but it all makes sense in the end!
