I owned this on VHS a few years ago but I lost the tape soon after buying it... so I saw a copy of it on DVD at work the other day and repurchased it... so happy I did. I watched it over again and I saw so many things I didn't catch the first time (or at least I didn't remember). If you haven't seen this movie I highly reccomend it.

w3rd, this movie kicks lots of ass. BUY IT SCUM!!!!

My kid brother talked me into buying it. I'm glad he did. The characters are interesting (self-motivated to the point of ruthlessness, some of them). The lepers are a good detail.

Personally I think anything Miyazaki does is great.
