What did you think of Nausicaa/Porco/Cat?
Ok, who has these, and what did you think?
Obviously, since these have been out R2, a lot of the thread might be about the new dubs, or what was included on the R1s, or the quality of the R1s.
But also, probably some folks are seeing these for the first time as well.
So what did you think?
(I hope to get mine tomorrow.)

I personally love Porco Rosso.
Considering the main character having a pig's head, plus set in a Victorian time, the film for some reason has so much humanity in them. Though it has a lot of humour, you also end up feeling so much compassion for Porco Rosso as he is cursed.
How Miyazaki can bring a lot of emotional pull in his works, whether tragic or cheerful, is still a wonder to me...

AOD has the following reviews up:
Nausicaa
Porco Rosso
They are positive so far.
Perhaps IGN got the early check disc copy or the reviewer was simply on crack.

Definitely looking forward to Nausicaa, will pick that up, though I may hold off on Porco Rosso for now. Chris Tribbey gave a positive evaluation over in the review section; even more reason to run to the store tomorrow. For those who have seen Porco, what are your thoughts on the film? How does it compares to Miyazaki's other works?

The front page of www.dvdtown.com has reviews of all three up. I'm thinking of buying Porco and Netflixing Nausicaa and Cat.

All you want to know about Miyazaki's works 
http://www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/films/
Btw, The Cat Returns is not Miyazaki's work. It's Studio Ghibli's.

I'm picking up Porco Rosso (not as good overall as prime Miyazaki, but still terrific) and Nausicaa (absolutely terrific hard core sci-fi) today. I've been waiting for years to get (legit) versions of these movies.

which is better, DVDTalkers? Nausicaa or Porco? I know for some it may be a hard decision to make, but I only have limited funds (not having a job and all ), so I may buy one, but only one. Which one should i pick up?
