Kiki’s Delivery Service<\/a>, Spirited Away (Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi)<\/a>, and Laputa:Castle in the Sky<\/a> are released on dvd today in the U.S.! They are all 2-disc sets, with English\/Japanese\/Spanish audio and a few extras like commentaries, storyboards, artwork, etc. We already have these on Japanese dvd, but we cannot watch them downstairs on our Region 1 dvd player, so we will probably be getting these. At least Kiki’s and Sen…<\/p>\n

Anyways, these are fantastic movies! Kiki’s is so great! My favorite scene is when she is flying over the ocean towards the new city. And the opening and ending songs sung by Yumi Arai (Matsutoya) are cool too (the Japanese ones)! My favorite scene in Sen was when she took the train to Swamp Bottom. That artwork was so neat, and the music is great too. I bought the soundtrack to Sen<\/a>, which I highly recommend!<\/p>\n

I am hoping that the English version of Sen has the correct color. The Japanese release had a reddish tint to it that the distribution company would not even acknowledge existed. There was a lawsuit in Japan brought up because the dvd was not the same color as the theatrical version. I think it was only the version sold in Japan that was messed up, but you can definitely tell that it is reddish…<\/p>\n

*Update* The US version does not have the reddish tint. Yay!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
