Hayao Miyazaki

Who excactly is the guy in the title? Well, obviously, this person is Japanese. But who is he?
Hayao Miyazaki is the magic behind absolutely amazing animated movies, the highest grossing in Japan. If you haven't already guessed, he is the director of movies such as Sprited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, and Princess Mononoke.

Never heard of them? Well then, you are missing out on unbelievable experiences. Don't judge a movie by its poster, these movies truly are spectacular.

What's so great about them? Well, EVERYTHING. That's right. His works are virtually perfect, from the music and sounds to the expressions on characters' faces. But best of all has to the plots. It's amazing how different the main character is by the end of the movie than at the beginning. With twists and turns almost everywhere you wouldn't expect, the plot will keep you excited until the credits scroll by.

But although the plots may be different, there are some attributes that all the movies share. All of them have a magical element to them. All of them have a discovery feel to them, as the characters are introduced to new areas and worlds. And most importantly, all of them will have you wanting more.

All in all, these movies are just great! I recommend these to anyone, really. Just watch them! What's the worst case scenario? Besides, I'm sure you'll like it!
