yesterday evening I watched for the first time Howl's moving castle

I quite enjoyed it, and this morning I thought that it has also a Bkackmoorish tinge... did you watch this? What do you think?

This looks familiar. Did it have a different title in Europe (in English)?

Howl's moving castle is the English title... Not sure about the original, Japanese one.

I thought it had quite a lot of promise, but for me it didn't deliver. I think Miyazaki's retirement is quite timely. His later efforts are all a tad lame, though still beautiful of course. I haven't seen his last one yet, mind (the one about the inventor of the Mitsubishi A6M).

I haven't seen the movie, but the book is pretty decent. I've read it a couple of times.
