I got a pirated copy in china town! It was badly dubbed but i still really enjoyed it. Try going to a DVD store there, it was only like $13 too. Just because it hasnt been released here doesnt mean there arnt sneaky ways to see it!

I think you mean subbed

But, yeah, there are plenty of ways to see it. Regardless though, it should still be included as really there are lots of Ghibli's many different people haven't seen, so I guess it balances out. And there is no specific criteria in voting, so you can vote off I movie because you haven't seen it if you like.

This really is just a fun little game, not to be taken too seriously. I doubt the winning film will be the best Ghibli, it will just be the winner of a silly little game. But hopefully it is a fun along the way.

LOL yeah i do mean "subbed"
it does make you notice that differences in language though.

i like this game i think it keeps people involved with the site by making them post daily (if they want to that is)

Isn't that two votes in one day?

I want to let someone more official handle the situation, but until they do I can't really vote (I don't know where to put Lupin's score). So would it be okay if the next time I posted I got to vote twice, once for yesterday (it's now about fifteen minutes into today) and once for today? If that makes any sense.

I live in Australia (no, im not just online during the extremely early hours of the morning...time difference...

)

my first post was late at night and the next one early in the morning

you can vote once a day. thats the rule. you cant have one vote for every single day. if u miss it then thats your fault. im sorry but it could become very unfair if u can make one vote for every day. say someone goes away on holiday for a month and doesnt see a computer at all. they get back, make all the votes they are owed and then the game is over isnt it?

Only one vote per day!

eat yo rice..

I can see why having Ponyo in the list is a problem, but eventually, when it comes down to your favourites and Ponyo, you'll have to take points from it even if you haven't seen it yet.

Whisper +1 (I can't tell whether people are still voting it down just vecause it's popular, or whether they honestly dislike it... )

But both your posts have the same date. That was what confused me.

Yeah, I understand that, but I didn't miss the day. I was online. The only reason I didn't post is that I didn't know whether you had actually posted twice in a day, in which case Lupin's score would have to be corrected, or if there was some error with the dates, in which case it would stay the same. So it really wasn't my fault, it was the fault of the confusing dates.

Ah, well. It's really not that big a deal.

Ocean Waves is nice enough and all, but it doesn't compare to a lot of other ghiblies.

Can I just ask, how is it Castle of Caligstro is still in and films like Howl and TCR arent?

I've seen CoC, it's funny but COME ON. It can't compare to the later Ghiblis.

I am outraged

EDIT: Sorted out my apostrophes since they were offending arren so much.

Posted by Theowne on 12.20.2008, 05:15 PM:

Because less people have seen it?

Posted by Loscil on 12.20.2008, 09:14 PM:

First of all, less people have seen Cagliostro. Also... it is better than TCR.
And hey, Gedo Senki was out after TCR and Howl's so... it's not like things happen correctly here.
