Rewatch, reread, and continuing series.
23. The Cat Returns (猫の恩返し, Neko no Ongaeshi, lit. The Cat's Repayment)
from Wiki
from IMBd
from Rotten Tomatoes
from Anime News Network
- Rewatched. Just because it's kind of a sequel of Whisper of the Heart - The manga is by the same mangaka.
- I like characters and scenery. The cat king is a bit intimidating!
- I've watched both sub and dub, not in one sitting, though.
24. Howl's Moving Castle (ハウルの動く城, Hauru no Ugoku Shiro, lit. Howl's Moving Castle)
from Wiki
from IMBd
from Rotten Tomatoes
from Anime News Network
- Another rewatched.
- I like the book much better. As I've said somewhere else and quoted here:
"re Howl’s Moving Castle
That’s my favorite book and reread many time - it was the only book I brought on airplane - so I could just flip to any page and reread many times :)
yeah, at one point the anime is totally different from the book - to me it’s like a fanfic of the book (a rather simple way of saying Hayao Miyazaki's interpretation of the original story) so I don’t mind the difference as much. I mean, the Witch of the Waste didn’t have to be that hideous - she’s supposed to be beautiful, and war and Prince Justin - it’s pretty lame, I think. But Sophie is still awesome :)"
- There are many other things the anime is different from the book, Wizard Sulliman's role for example ... But Howl is so pretty.

- Rereading
- Fruits Basket 8-23:
- I like the art of the later volumes better now. I also like Kyo better, too.
- I'm glad that Akito is kind of redeemed at the end but I have mixed feelings about her. I understand she's broken and hurt but ...
- Momiji is so cool. Kagura is also cool.
- Kimi is kind of annoying but she does provide comic relief :) - she teases Yuki's fan group too much.
- It is great to marathon through the whole series. There are things that were hinted along the way.
