Ahhh~ le weekend, how I adore thee!

Spent yesterday evening after com-binge watching "Howl's Moving Castle" and it was utterly delightful, as to be expected from Ghibli films, and eee! The character and creature design- the airships! and Howl's chambers and -! I think I fell in love with Howl in the first five minutes of his apperance, ahh~ so fantastically flamboyant! And not to get in to spoiler territory- but oh! The imagery and how the conflict and curse(s) were resolved! I was a happily sighing mass at the end of this movie ♥

Must acquire the book(s?) somehow~

Also tried a bit of Killer7, which is a wholly different type of visually stunning. But of course, since I have let my trigger-skills go to rust by exclusivly playing RPGs I panicked at the first sign of the admittedly FUCKING CREEPY mutated bomb-strapped cultist opponents and totally misfired. Cue *SPLAT* and my current persona was dead. Man. :(
The concept really is awesome though, am loving the cell-shading and my creepy(an adjective that can be liberally applied to virtually everything in this game) S&M ninja-garbed retainer Iwazumo(?). The way he garbles! Ajkhskklj;!
Fiddled a bit with Lucifer's Call too, nothing much. Need to work up the beasty-training mojo again~

THere's Howl's Moving Castle and Castle In The Air, which is sort of in a very roundabout way, a continuation. Having been a fan of the original book for more than a decade, I wasn't too taken with the movie, to be really honest. But to each his own. Though the characterisation is quite good.

Ooh~ roundabout sequel! Thanks for the heads up- am now quite curious in how Book vs. Movie turns out~
(The movie just pulled me in with flair! colour! and the ooh!Factor of Howl ♥ yes i am intensely visually driven aheheh)
