Verdisil, in Osaka you can find Ghibli store in Tempozan mall area, in Hiroshima it's in the Hondori shopping street. In Tokyo - well, you can just visit Ghibli museum near Mitaka

The Ghibli museum in Tokyo is where I went .

So it's not about Japan, it's about great movies.

It's only £7,99 or some bandwidth to learn what all the fuss is about.

no thanks!

Japanophobe! We have a saying in NL for that:
"What the farmer doesn't know, he doesn't eat."

Farmer being used here as an x-phobe of anything he doesn't know and not daring to try because of his shortsightedness and tunnel vision on farming and its related, procedural ways. Also used for people not willing to 'think out of the box'.

[Jaera]

i like my non animated japan-box kthxbai!

[Alikh]

Ooh, you have a japanbox. Maybe a dormant japanophile?

[Elhaz]

<- Japanophobe here too. I never have understood what's the fuss with japan anyway?

[Jaera]

Your reputation with Jaera has increased by 100
*green ding*
You are now mildly tolerated by Jaera.

grats!

[Elhaz]

Hooray!

Do i gain reputation with you by trolling japanophiles?

[Jaera]

trolling anyone!

except me of course

[Thuren]

Is there reputation for taking a useful and nice thread and taking it somewhere bizarre, destroying it's appeal?

[Pyx]

I agree, please split off that stupid rambling about everything that has nothing to do with the RL picture thread.

[Jaera]

after you champ. go exercise those moderator guns of yours

[Rhaena]

Right, now I can carry on in here.

I'm not a japan fan boy, but I can appreciate the awesomeness of the Studio Ghibli films (My Neighbour Totoro etc..).

Surely 'art' can be appreciated no matter where it's from.

As an englishman I have a natural dislike for the French - that doesn't mean I can't appreciate the Three Colours Trilogy or Amelie. I'm not a big fan of Spanish cinema, but Pan's Labyrinth was awesome.

To ignore a bunch of great films just because they're Japanese is a bit silly isn't it?

[Alikh]

You francophobe you!!

Alright, I won't post here anymore, it is a silly place.

[Rhaena]

I can't help it, every country has some other country they have jokes about.

I think most of europe picks on Belgium, but I couldn't think why with the incredible things they have given us - Jean Claude van Damme, Poirot, Brussel Sprouts.

Edit: and Leffe

[Pyx]

I can't stand the Spanish language either, but their cinema has produced some jewels (I can recommend Rec, Orfanato and XXY) for example.

[Rhaena]

Orfanato (The Orphanage) was awesome - genuinely creepy and moving.

I've not seen XXY - I'll have to look it up
