Ugh, there's actually a site which refers to Ponyo as moe.  But I think[or hope] they mean the friendly variation. |

I'm watching it now.Man,hand drawn anime is still the best.Seriously, Ponyo must have been a complete nightmare to animate.So much is going on,on screen at once it's insane.I applaud Miyazaki and Ghibli once again.
I hate to say it but,this title might actually be a little too weird for American audiences.Even the hardcore Ghibli fanatics.If you thought Miyazaki's other movies were weird and you've sworn you've seen it all,you are in for a treat.It would be a shame if this is not released stateside in the future.This and Gedo Senki.Ponyo's been an awesome movie so far,just don't go to IMDB.Their plotline ruins the surprise. |

| Shadowrun: I doubt they-including Miyazaki-draw much of these productions anymore. Maybe some rough sketches, but that's about it. |

Don't really buy this, but what the hell?
| Quote: | ..."The Dark Knight" has hit an unexpected stumbling block - it's flopping in Japan where the film has pulled in just $8.7 million so far in its first three weeks of release says Film Junk. To give you a comparison the first Chris Nolan/Christian Bale team-up "Batman Begins" scored $14 million in just its opening weekend in Japan...
...film critic Chika Minagawa offers one possible explanation: "The story is very pessimistic. It has a dark and gloomy texture that Japanese movie fans do not find appealing in a ‘comic hero’ film… Japanese movie fans expect such films to be fun and action packed, for the hero to be attractive, for the villain to be loud and outrageous, and for the movie itself to be easy to understand and light." |
