anime of the month (january 2007)

DEMON SPAWN · Jan 04, 2007, 06:16 PM

Type: movie
Directed by: Hayao Miyazaki

Written by: Dianna Wynne Jones (novel)
Hayao Miyazaki (screenplay)

Distributed by: Toho (Japan)
Bena Vista Home Entertainment (USA)
Madman Entertainment (Australia)

Official Website: :: Howl's Moving Castle ::

Synopsis:
18-year-old Sophie works in a hat shop and lacks confidence and direction. Her chance encounter with the handsome but mysterious wizard Howl results in Sophie's being turned into a 90-year-old woman by the villainous Witch of the Waste. On self-imposed exile and in search of Howl, Sophie encounters an animated scarecrow whom she names Turnip-head. With Turnip-head's assistance, she finds shelter in Howl’s moving castle; a mobile, chaotic ensemble of metal scraps but a feat of magical engineering nonetheless. For example, the front door of the castle is magically connected to several buildings in different parts of the country, where Howl maintains a different identity at each one. Inside the castle, Sophie encounters Markl, Howl’s eight-year-old apprentice, and Calcifer, a feisty, smart-talking fire demon who plays a key role in Howl’s intrinsic being, is the source of the castle's power to move, forced to work for Howl because of a spell that binds him to the castle. Sophie’s love and support comes to have a major impact on Howl, who, while a grown man, is still a boy in many ways.

Even though I like Miyazaki's work (Princess Mononoke was great), I was going to skip this one, as I have a ton of anime to watch already, and I couldn't find it for under $20 (yes, I'm cheap). But I saw an English dubbed import on DAD for 10 bucks, so it looks like I'll be in on this month's anime!
