I guess I'm a geek..but who cares!

I have watched Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, My Neighbor Totoro, and Castle in the Sky. It seems that Miyazaki has a thing for little girls, strong women (which is an opposite to the asian theme of submission), and well, flying machines, i.e., gliders, odd-looking aircrafts, baloons, dragons, or just having the characters' ability of flying. Something is liberating in those flying scenes.

I have ordered more of his works: Kiki's Delivery Service, Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind...I added Grave of the Fireflies (Isao Takahata).
