I'm not in love with them, but what made Ninokuni my most expected game of all is the complete lack of a teen emo boy (hey now we have girls too) trying to save the world from disaster in  a JRPG

I don't care about teen drama anymore, give me things light hearted, more cute and more creative than that. And they gave:

Now if they could only release it... I feel like a versus Xiii fan with this game... and I hate to wait that much for games. It's just wrong.

Studio Ghibli is awesome thats all i have to say.  And if you dont like their anime then its just a certain taste we cant blame you.  I am however really excited to play their game.  Anybody knows if it'll come to the west for PS3?

I thought spirited away, porco roso and princess mononoke (all seen about 10 years ago... in France we had release dates close to the Jap ones) were definitely not my favorite type of anime. Especialy porco roso, didn't like it one bit, the other two were ok.

Nope, nobody knows it yet. But PS3 version is almost guaranteed to come in my opinion, DS on the other hand...

But it's scheduled (in wikipedia) for 2011 release in Japan. But I don't think that is official. The DS version is going to be released more than 2 years after first announced, PS3 version might just do the same.

I don't blame you for not being "in love" with them .. I blame your upbringing :P.

he is talking about the animes you should watch them

THey do some cool stuff with color and lines but the actual contenct?  Meh?

If it makes you feel any better, the only work they've released that I've enjoyed was Spirited Away, so you're not completely alone.

Studio Ghibli is the equivalent of your lovely neighborhood bakery where everything is handmade and you can notice the subtle touches on pretty much anything they sell. On the opposite, you have the supermarket (let's call it Disney or whatever) that mass-produces everything and overall the products end up being pretty unattractive.

That is my romanced (and therefore skewed) perspective. :>

Ghibli to Anime is what Team ICO is to games
