I just saw that movie on Monday with Deaths Fate
It was so cool!? :D
anyone eles seen it yet?

Edit: uhh... does this thread belong to anime and manga...
ooops.... :doh:

I can't stand it!!!!!! The previews say its playing everywhere, how come not here!!!!!!!!!!!! ^_^ Arg!!!!

I want to see that movie so bad! Its not playing any where near me though!

Also, I herd from alot of places that its not as good as the rest of hayao's works.. Is that true?

it's pretty good. THe art work is alright
Howl is really good looking but the main character sophie has bushy and too big eyebrows.

I wanna see it. u.u

As if it being Miyazaki/Ghibli wasn&#39;t incentive enough for this film to make me crazy - Christian Bale is in it&#33; >.<
Even if it&#39;s just his voice....he&#39;s still in it....

I&#39;m dying to see this. But it&#39;s only playing in Toronto. -_-

It&#39;s playing in Vancouver too :P
i watched it

really good, oh god i love the music

Howl&#39;s Moving Castle, huh? There&#39;s a movie?&#33; I&#39;ve read the book, but I didn&#39;t know there was a movie&#33;&#33;&#33; No fair, I wanna see it&#33;&#33;&#33;

I wonder if it&#39;s out in the UK yet. ^^ If it is I wanna see it. =D

Maybe they&#39;ll put it on DVD...? :(

Grrrrawr&#33; My stupid brother (Dragon) forgot to log out of his account...again&#33; The above post was from Sam-chan.. <_<

I just finished the book last week and noticed there was a movie (wierd coincidence) but I don&#39;t think it&#39;s playing where I am... :cry:
Great book though, I hope the movie comes out on DVD.

it&#39;s a good movie, I thought it was one of Miyazaki&#39;s best. The drawings are really nice and of course, the music is great&#33; it&#39;s got a really interesting plotline as well.. I want to read the book now, haha.

You should. I reccomend it. I&#39;m not sure how close the book is to the movie though.

theres a book on it&#33;? Is is a manga or a chapterbook?
i still thought the art could have been a little better
can they at least draw sophie a little prettier&#33;?
she IS the main character.. but howl looks so much better than her. lol

It&#39;s a chapter book, so there&#39;s no pictures of anyone. Although on the cover it shows the scarecrow and Sophie&#39;s back. Wow.

thats a horrible cover...
the scarecrow dosent even play a big part.
plus he gets regected by Sophie which is obvious by the title
HOWL&#39;s moving castle which mean HOWL the MAIN character cant get rejected... ya.

Yes, I know. I don&#39;t think Sophie should have been old throughout pretty much the entire thing. I was interested mostly in Howl and Calcifer.

ya...
the witch of the waste man, u should see her in the movie
they really EMPHASISE her ugliness.

Heh. Really? I think that the book says that she&#39;s pretty, and her fire demon is making her look young, despite her incredibly old age...? Something like that...

yep its very true
Howl tried to court her once but found out she was ugly so he ran away.

There&#39;s a sequal to Howl&#39;s Moving Castle (book) called Castle in the Air. I recommend it. Personally, I found Castle in the Air more interesting than Howl&#39;s Moving Castle. Great book.

Oh&#33; My goodness&#33; A sequel&#33; Really? Are you sure it&#39;s better than the first? Because I loved that one. I don&#39;t usually like sequels, though...

Yup. The sequel&#39;s main character is different though. It&#39;s kind of using the details from Howl&#39;s Moving Castle to make a new book. I liked it better, but Howl&#39;s Moving Castle was very good too.

ya it was good
but none beats Laputa: Castle in the sky

I wanna see Howl's Moving Castle soooooo muuuuch~!!!!!!!!!! XD

you will...someday
XD

you will...someday
XD

Heeey, don't make fun of me, I wanna see it, damnit XD

come to america they play it almost everywhere!
XD

Who would travel to a different country just to see a movie? Sounds pretty desperate to me. I'm biding my time for the dvd...

IsitcomikngoutintheUKatcinemas? *translates blonde-speak* Is it coming out in the UK at cinemas????

Howl's Moving Castle will be release on September 30th 2005 for UK

Wow that's so late...

but it is totally worth the wait.
it just rawks!
well, i did. that, and the drooling over Howl

I love this movie! It is my favorite Miyazaki film. I read the book first and Miyazaki does deviate from the plot of the book quite a bit, But I think the changes are very nice and wonderfully woven in. Can't wait to buy it on DVD!:)

i saw the ending! but i wanna WANNA WANNA!!! SEE IT!!!!!!!!!! T_T must see must see

I <3 IT! ^__________^ HOWL IS SO BISHIE*!

*Bishie - bishounen, Japanese for handsome young boy ^_______^

Yes, I want to cosplay Howl but I'm not boy-feminine enough... (then again, I also want to cosplay Miss Cloud :D)

I also find Castle in the Air a better book than Howl's Moving Castle.. It's the sequal book
You should really reed it

I love Howl's Moving Castle! It's the best! ^_____^

signed! ^.^

I love the animation, I love the characters, and I loved the plot.


But, the character development was pretty shitty. Besides that, I'd still like it.

Wait, there's a sequel?! YAHOO! *dashes off to the library*

I read the book about a year ago then flipped when I found out miyazaki was making a movie out of it. I didn't really like alot of the deviation from the plot, but overall I liked it.

The parts of the plot that were taken out makes me think of the phrase "dumbed down." I assumed they were trying to simplify it to make it short enough, like with the Lord of the Rings. I bear no ill will towards Miyazaki though. I still love his work. :teeth:

On a side note, I personally like Naussica(sp?) best out of all his films.

Oh yes naussica is the 2nd best, princess monoke the best! ^^

I watched this movie one year ago in Montreal and bought it in june or may...
It is pretty good like any other movie made by this studio!!!

I saw this movie I love it :D

GAH! I bloody loved Howl's! (And Howl) Cutie.
They were kinda vague in explaining the nature of Howl's blackbird deal, not that I minded. I guess it's better with that sorta story.

Loved Howl's Moving Castle! I need to go read the original book now. The soundtrack is nice!

Howl's Moving Castle was really good ^-^'' i really loved it and how the plot of the story was well done. There were some parts that i didn't really like..but all movies have a godo and bad point ^^;; i really enjoyed it..and hearing it japanese with eng.subs was beter than hearing just plain english >_<;; original is always better ^.^

Actually, I prefer the English dub.

Emily Mortimer + Jean Simmons tagteam FTW!
