Thanks boss. I think I will pick it up if my opinion of the second wave of Miyazaki films is anywhere near the first.

Mr. Toad wrote:I Can See the Sea was subsequently added. It was a made for TV movie but was made by their film animators so I would imagine it is of high quality
I Can Hear the Sea is my favorite Ghibli movie. It is very high quality. :D I didn't know that Disney got the rights to it.

There is also a old Miyazaki movie from the 70's on region 1 DVD called Panda Go Panda. My favorite Miyazaki film Castle of Cagliostro is also available.

I own The Grave of Fireflies. It is a very very good animated film. I have only watched the movie one full time, even though I've owned the movie for more than a year, because the movie is very sad and tragic. :( I recommend it to everyone. :)
