Wonderful high fantasy rpg
I love this game. It has a wonderfully out there fantasy story line akin to a Miyazaki film and I love the options for winning (harvesting above, exploring below or a mix of the two). I kind of wish it allowed you to go play beyond the allotted rounds. Overall if you're looking for a great, beautiful fantasy game that is surprisingly non violent I would recommend this one.

"I wanted to throw in a film as well and this is a real classic. There’s a lot to say about it but what I really love is the location. It takes place in a vaguely French/Italian/Mediterranean environment. It’s like a fantastical Amalfi coast or Cote d’Azur seen through the eyes of a Japanese genius. Like all Miyazaki, it can be appreciated by people of any age and has deep, moving insights about growing up."

I'm always curious to watch a documentary about filmmakers and their craft. This documentary was very interesting to watch. I've seen two Miyazaki films and three Studio Ghibli films. It was very interesting to see a little bit of the men behind the films. The way that they think and the way that they act. I don't think that The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness was the best doc I've watched, but it was interesting nonetheless.

I really do love what Hayao Miyazaki creates. It's like any movie he puts out is gold. This movie is really wonderful. The characters are spectacular, and the animation is simply magical. I loved this movie a lot & I love the slightly creepy (Forest Spirit by far the creepiest) characters you meet as well.

FYI: If you're a parent looking for a new movie, please know that this anime is filled with violence & there is a reason that it is rated PG 13. It definitely relied heavily on the gore as well.

"The Royal Tenenbaums is a mood masterpiece. Everything about Wes Anderson’s film is perfect; it immediately transports you to a world only he could create. Part Salinger, part idealized New York, but mostly Wes’ pleasantly devastating view of this family’s life, Tenenbaums succeeds on great writing and extremely particular filmmaking. Put this together with a score and a soundtrack for the ages, and you have a film that operates like the best of Hal Ashby or even a filmmaker like Miyazaki. It feels so good, it’s almost like a drug. Also, the Rolling Stones have never been used better in film history, and that’s just one of the movie’s many wonderful marriages of music and cinema. And then there’s Gene Hackman…"
