His movies, from Nausicaa, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Castle in the Sky, and Princess Mononoke to the recent Howl's Moving Castle are all not only gorgeously rendered in terms of art, but in terms of moviemaking as well. Can this man do no wrong? Not really, but it is impossible to expect everyone of ...

There have been a number of fans who say that this version surpasses the current one, but I didn't have the same response when I saw it. The only points this dub has is that it doesn't have the rescore or the sometimes overdone extra dialogue. On the other hand, though, the script itself is not very smooth and comes across as very stilted, with attempts at humor that sound either contrived or not very well written ...

The talents include Matt Damon, Tina Fey, Cate Blanchett, Liam Neeson, Lily Tomlin, Betty White, Fankie Jonas, Noah Cyrys and Cloris Leachman. Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall are the producers of the dub, and I assume that John Lasseter will be associated with it too seeing that he was executive producer for the dubs of Spirited Away and Howl's.

Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water is about this girl who holds a jewel called the Blue Water and her friend is Jean, a young French inventor. They both set out a journey to know her origins but by each episode, a mystery unfolds and it can get very surprising. Here's one bit of trivia: This was originally a Miyasaki project but things weren't working out so he handed the concept to Hideaki Anno who ...

It's called Magic Knight Rayearth and the premise is that three girls named Hikaru, Umi and Fuu are sent to a magical world called Cephiro and their mission is to save a princess. But there's more to that premise as there's a twist later on in the series but what I won't say what it is, but it's something that will surprise you completely. Here's the opening sequence of the series and let me know what you ...

Despite all the resources and talented names commissioned to dub the movies, there are those who think they are all terrible. Which is totally unfortunate, because, frankly, the Ghibli dubs are some of the finest English tracks I've ever heard in years. It's true that some are better than others, but none of these dubs are awful in any way. When ...
