Birthday NC Review - Ponyo

Thu Feb 23, 2012, 5:55 AM
First off, I wanna think everyone for the wonderful birthday pics you made for me. :love: And to anyone who didn't have the time at least you wished me a Happy Birthday. :love: Thank you all and I love you guys. :heart:

Now there's one birthday present that was the very best. It of course WASN'T intended for me. :slow: But it was posted on Feb. 21 and I've been wishing for a good NC review that I'll be happy in viewing over and over since his Felix the Cat: the Movie review. Not only was this review amazing, it was his 200th episode so it's an honor NC reviewed something different on my birthday.

The movie he reviewed was Hayao Miyazaki's "Ponyo" [link] And I have to be honest, it's my least favorite Miyazaki movie. :| Like NC's opinion, I don't hate it, I do enjoy watching it whenever it comes on. I just don't think it's Hayao's greatest work, it's his weirdest creation yet, and fans: Hayao's not god. LIGHTEN UP!!!! Poor NC having to put up with so much from his bipolar fans. Seriously, are you guuys really taking things too seriously? I mean, I disagree with some of the movies I like he reviewed as bad but, it's not the end of the world and his final thoughts on it aren't law.


Now with the best part of the review: guest appearances!!! :la: Though I have no clue on Little Kibitou of his Abridged Anime like YuGiOh and DBZ and Uncle Yoh. ^^; Sorry to their fans, but I haven't been checking out these guys. But I was excited in Spike Spencer's appearance. :excited: And lemme tell you, He. Was. Gorgeous!! :love: And why do I imagine Shinji Ikari from "Evangelion" putting a grenade down NC's pants? :slow:


So that's my humble response on NC's review on Ponyo. :3 Be sure to check it out and enjoy. :D And thank you to Mr. Walker for picking such a special day to post it. :love: I am honored.

From the Academy Award®-winning director and world-renowned Japanese animation legend Hayao Miyazaki comes PONYO, a story inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale The Little Mermaid. Already a box-office success in Japan, the story of a young and overeager goldfish named Ponyo (voiced by NOAH CYRUS) and her quest to become human features an outstanding roster of voice talent, including CATE BLANCHETT, MATT DAMON, TINA FEY, FRANKIE JONAS, CLORIS LEACHMAN, LIAM NEESON, LILY TOMLIN and BETTY WHITE.
