Second watch (November 21st-23rd 2012)

At home. Japanese with English subs.

Journal

Watched it a few nights after the disappointment of Spirited Away. I was resigned to Miyazaki having 'lost his touch' and making films for Hollywood now or something, but this film was amazing, possibly the best yet. I think it's between this one and Nausicaa, although I do like most of the others a lot as well.
