It's also one of my personal favourites even when mixed with live action films, it's so exciting, so dramatic, so touching, it brings me close to tears! The direction is gold, the voice acting is amazing, and it's probably the best novel to film adaption I know of. Although I like Sword of the Stranger more, I think The Girl Who Leapt Through Time deserves the 'Best Animated Feature Film' Oscar nomination more than Sword of the Stranger. It won countless anime awards, I wonder why it was overlooked at last years Oscar's. There is no action, it's a drama afterall, but it does more than succeed in everything it does. I've seen it twice, I spotted no flaws, it's simply perfect. Also, it's rated the best anime movie on MyAnimeList.net with a score of 8.85, beating Spirited Away by a whole 0.10 (which is big when it comes to these kind of scores). Sword of the Stranger is 5th and is scored 8.64. So, is it any good? Simply put, yes. Word's can't even begin to explain how good it is.
You can buy the Limited Edition Exclusive Edition DVD from HMV for only £15, which comes with an extra disc and bonus art cards I think. I got the normal single disc edition for £10 of Amazon, and I wish I bought it from HMV now.
Maybe!? Come on MSN More.
Dub or Sub? I can guess the Sub for you. Although there are times when the dubs are good.
When I send back my next batch, I'll order it out :)
For the love of god don't watch it dubbed! Don't even switch to it for one second to see what it's like. It is the worst anime dub I have ever heard. It may be just bad if you watch the English dub first, but the Japanese dub is so good it makes the English dub look like absolute ****. The girl Who Leapt Through Time defines why dubbing sucks!Quote:

HOWEVER...
Howl's Moving Castle
Sunday 28 December 10:05am BBC2
Did they show Laputa? Love that film.
Nah, they haven't. It's not scheduled to be shown either.
Whisper of the Heart (subbed), Pom Poko (aired twice, once dubbed, once subbed), Grave of the Fireflies (subbed) and Only Yesterday (dubbed) seem to be the only one's they've shown so far.
Heres some more times...
Only Yesterday (Sub)
Channel 4 1:30am-3:50am Mon 15 December
My Neighbour Totoro (Dub)
FilmFour 1:00pm-2:45pm Boxing Day
The Cat Returns
FilmFour 4:50pm Mon 29 Dec & FilmFour 1:00pm New Year's Eve
Laputa, Monoke, Spirited Away are my favourites to be honest.
