MIYAZAKI FTW!!!

Okay, so I'se wondering what Miyazaki film NFs love the most.

I think my favorite is a toss up between Princess Mononoke and Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.

But to tell you the truth, I'm a fan of the upcoming Makoto Shinkai. His films are awesome as well.; ▶ Reply to This

I got to go to a miyazaki film festival a few years ago but they didn't have the films, so instead we landed up watching one of miyazaki's early projects, about a little girl and a family of panda's who live with her. I don't remember the title, but i remember the opening song "Panda Go Panda Go Panda." my mom and i sang it for at least a year before we got bored with it. ;P; ▶ Reply to This
