OK, just watched Ponyo on a Cliff. It was very good quality, minus the 3 incidents when a person got up. Anyways, looked amazing! They didn't use any CG in this, it was all done by hand. It looked so good they should continue to their old ways of doing it by hand, though drawing like a million or two pictures is probably a huge task. Anyways, there were no subs but I understood some of what they were saying, and the movie itself isn't hard to understand since Miyazaki made it so that a 5 year old could understand it. For the record, the storm scene in this movie was so cool I almost sh!t myself. The way it was done with such enormous waves, high winds, how Sosuke almost flew off into the raging ocean out of nowhere, everything about it. I want the subs to come out though so I can see everything they're saying as I'm not sure about 4 things.

1. Who was on the phone at the beginning. From what I understand it was her husband or boyfriend or something.

2. Who is the man with red hair and why does he want Ponyo so bad? I think he is trying to get Ponyo for that red headed mermaid Goddess woman thing. Possibly even Ponyos dad? I don't think he is his dad, just throwing ideas out there.

3. Who and what is that red headed mermaid Goddess thing? At the end of the movie Sosuke asks her if shes Ponyos mom and she says yes. Which should obviously mean that she is. But was she just saying that so he could give up Ponyo? Or maybe she actually is. Either way, I want to know WTF she is! Is she a mermaid, or a Goddess?

4. This is probably related to the red headed mermaid thing, but what exactly IS Ponyo? A fish? A God of somesort? Or just some special creature with powers?

Anyways, bottom line is that the movie was good, I'm not disappointed at all. Did I mention how good the people look? Kind of like a cross between the older Ghibli movies and the new ones in some ways, looked really cool. Was probably one of the first things I noticed when I first saw Sosuke. If you want to know where I downloaded it PM me.
