I am so psyched for this! Miyazaki + Diana Wynne Jones = WORK. OF. ART.

This may very well be the last Miyazaki movie! Heck, he was talking about retiring after Spirited Away!

I've just read the book recently, and it is pretty good. I understand there are going to be differences between the book and the movie, and I am also greatly anticipating this film as well. Also, I have learned not to consider any film Miyazaki's last untill he's dead Very Happy. Princess Mononoke was supposed to be his last film, too(and, on a side note, I still think it was his best). So was Spirited Away.

If Kondo had not died, I think Miyazaki would have handed over to him by now Crying or Very sad He could have honed the Ghibli sense of wonder and magic he brought to Whisper of the Heart.

I know. Whisper of the Heart is not only far better than Miyazaki's and Takahata's respective debut films, but it's also my favorite Ghibli movie period. But now whenever I see that movie I get depressed just thinking about what he could have done if he had lived longer.

Personally, I though Spirited Away was Miyazaki's worst (the plot was way too episodic), and I'm worried about what will happen to Ghibli when he finally retires.
