Hey minna! I finally caught a few minutes to post something. Yay!
So my best friend gave me Miyazaki's last film to borrow for the convention. My brother and I watched it Sunday and I must say...

I was highly disappointed. I think the concept was good and what not, but I wasn't impressed with the storyline or the finished project at all. I felt that the important events fell short especially, and the people were strange (always happy).

I wish this wasn't his last film but, you know. Oh well. Ponyo was so cute as a fish though!

What did you think?

Yay Yama~! Good to hear from you! biggrin heart

I really liked it, but agree that it kinda fell short on something. I can't place my finger on it, but the ending was blah and I wish there was something more to it. :/ But the voice acting and concept was appealing. And wait a second... it's his last film!? D8 Nooooo!


...But we must wait for the opportunity to fly...

Ponyo Ponyo Ponyo sakana no ko!

I really liked the movie. I can't help but love all the movies that Miyazaki makes. They bring out the childish joy in me. I liked that the ending was simply that Ponyo was under Lisa's care now. It leaves more to the imagination. You can decide whether or not Ponyo marries Sosuke and how her whole life goes. I think the most important part of her life story is that which is covered in the movie.

In short: It's actually my favorite Miyazaki film.

I thought it was cute...but I admit it lacked the certain spark that his other films had. I mean I love all his movies so I had remarkably high expectations for Ponyo.

I thought Ponyo was good...but not epic like the others. I did think it was cute though. Really adorable.

The ending seemed slightly tossed together.

I liked it; Ponyo reminds me of this guy I know whom gets excited over everything.

I think my favorite one was Kiki's Delivery Service or The Cat Returns. All his movies are pretty cool though ^^

Please tell me you're kidding though D':
