Anime is good for memories of being a kid for me and not much else, I despise the generic comedies/action titles I didn't grow up with. Sometimes I even loathe the ones I did... ANYWAY, the point is Miyazaki goes beyond genre so not really.

I used to love Anime, but anymore Cowboy Bebop is the only one I still really like. I actually like it better as an adult than I did as a kid.

Now as far as Miyazaki, Castle In The Sky was really awesome. I think Mark Hamill was in it, if I remember correctly. It's been years since I saw it.

Outside of Miyazaki I really liked Otomo's Akira. I am pissed that a Live Action Akira is in the works. I being a huge Steampunk fan was disappointed with his approach in Steamboy.
