Porco Rosso...

...is absolutely awesome! What a fun, detailed, and alive movie.

Delightful. Absolutely delightful.

It's very simple, but it has such a wonderful texture to it. And for once in an anime film, I've got to say that the scriptwriting has wonderful, magical subtleties in it, even in translation. And the characters -- they have such life to them. And there's, unmistakably, Miyazaki's love behind it all. It's coarsing through the very veins of every shot, every sequence. The flying, the characters, the women...

Anyway, that's just a quickie for now. I've got a couple of more to write a blurb or two about, but I figured this rated a post of it's own.
