Nocturna is a Spanish film. It hasn't come out in the states yet, buit it is such a beautiful film. :)

Oh my gosh!! That looks awesome.

I want to see Ponyo too!

@ Astrelle: Yea I saw the commercial for Ponyo and squealed like the little Miyazaki fangirl I am. :3

@Anna: That looks wonderful! I'll be sure to check it out as soon as I can!

FIrst Freebie! :)

Anna - =O Preeeetty! I'll look into that. I love good animation. X3

Marzipanda - I think I saw one on youtube. YAY for being Miyazaki fangirls! =O OMG so I went to this thing called the Gibli museum or something when one of my college courses had a trip to japan. Best thing ever. If you ever get to go to Tokyo look into that.

Oh that's just lovely! I love the warm colors!

@ Astrelle: I love Studio Gibli so very much. I remember seeing The Cat Returns at my very first anime-con before it came out in the US. I was hooked even more then!

Thank you so much Anna I love it!!!

I head about that Astrelle. One of my teachers went there. I want to go so bad!!

My favorite animated movie is Tokyo Godfathers~ <3
Voices of a Distant Star is second~

HMMM
How about triplets of belleville (sp?) I love that movie. It's so...different, I guess. XD The music is awesome.

I've never heard of that one either. Gosh I feel so behind on animated films these days. Since I started college I've not had time to keep up my hobbies really! I miss it!

oShoDemandinG - They have a cat bus (from totoro) that little kids can play in with little soot guy plushes. We all wanted to play too but couldn't... 'cause it was for kids. HOWEVER this is my totally awesome plan...

1. Get married and have kids.
2. Take kids to the museum.
3. Convince kids to go into cat bus and start crying.
4. I GET TO GO IN AND HELP THEM.

It is my master plan.

I have to write all of those down. They sound interesting.

Oh wow Astrelle. I would so do that too myself. GENIUS!!

Astrelle you are a genius indeed! I'd love to play on the cat bus and I'd get a little soot spirit plushie and feed him pastel colored stars for sure!

I loved the little soot balls so much! And Kamaji! He was so interesting. Miyazaki's characters are so unique and creative.

Haven - Omg, Tokyo Godfathers was awesome. Seriously people need to see that one. It's great around Christmas.

Marzipanda - What'cha majoring in? (some of my college friends subscribed to netflicks... 'causing the number of movies I've seen to increase dramatically)

I bought a soot plush and cat bus plush in their store. X3

oSo - You can use my plan... as long as they don't catch on before I get to it.

Also they have Howl and Sophie rings. =O they don't come in different sizes. (they're what they use to call calcifer)

@ Astrelle: I'm a psychology major with a double minor in Japanese and English Literature! I love college so much!

@Astrelle - Definitely! :yes: I love the story and the music~

Oh! I'd love to go to the Studio Ghibli museum someday~ >w<

Marzipanda - =O I was almost a psych major, it was my backup plan if my parents weren't gonna let me major in art. You're so lucky your college has a Japanese minor! I took all their classes already... ^^;

Haven - People don't appreciate animated movies enough! I hope you can go someday..

I love minoring in Japanese. I've only done one year so far I'm going into my second year of college. I have to take it every semester for the minor. It's challenging but I enjoy it so much.

That is so cool!! I really want to go now.

Don't worry I'll be sneaky about it.

We only had 2 years of it offered. *going into her senior year* We only have one teacher too.

oSo - Good. >3

Currently I think we have 5 senseis at my university.

I attend a very large university. We have over 31,000 students! It's a wonderful student body too! I love it.

Hello, Anna! =D
How have you been?

Marzi - XD That's probably why. I go to one that's much smaller. (less than 5,000)

I've been good meilin! I've been really tired lately though T_T so much work to do. Teaching is hard. >_<

It's wonderful most of the time but sometimes being one of over 300 students in an entry level course can be extremely difficult and frustrating. Though I will say all of my professors so far make a huge effort to be personal with each student.
