I don't usually do full out reviews, because I don't think I'm particularly good at writing them, but I wanted to say something about Ponyo, so what the hell. I didn't actually watch the Disney dub, but watched a fansub version instead. All the talk about the Disney release reminded me that this movie's been out in Japan since last year. At some point I do want to check out the Disney dub, because Disney's Ghibli adaptations are the rare movies where I think the voice dubs are really well done. In fact, I still haven't seen Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away or Howl's Moving Castle with the original Japanese voice cast. Anyway onto the review.
There's something strange in the water
Haibane Renmei. Wow.

I've heard so many good things about Haibane Renmei that I've been angling to watch it for a while now. I didn't know much about it though, so I didn't know exactly what to expect. But it was indeed as great as I've heard.
