Revisiting Studio Ghibli: An Animated Journey
Castle in the Sky isn't just a another magical Ghibli Anime. It's actually also a epic action adventure film, and it has all the hallmarks to make it an exciting one. There are myths, treasure, magic stones, a heir princess, a powerful enemy, highly advanced robots, it even has a giant floating castle in the sky hidden inside the clouds.
The main thing making Castle in the Sky so exciting though is it's exceptional…
For some reason 'Nausicaä' didn't resonate with me at all the first time I watched it many years ago. It was actually one of the very first anime movies that i ever saw except for a few Dragon Ball Z movies. Not sure if it was the Japanese language, the plot, the art style or all of the above.

He is forced to chose between his dream to own a majority shareholding of the company, or to pay the ransom to save the boy but be put into a huge debt and lose his job, his house and his lifelong dream.
Let me first start this by saying, happy birthday Toshiro Mifune (1920 - 1997) Who would have been 101…

I will probably be seen as bias (and maybe i am) cause i'm a big fan of the original Frank Herbert novel, which i've read 3 times in the past six years or so plus also listened to the amazing audiobook.
