Anything that the hand of Studio Ghibli touches screams animated gold and this emotive RPG is no exception. Its the emotional investment in this exquisitely animated adventure that makes it so worthwhile. Miyazaki's characters seem to almost transcend language and speak from the heart. Unless of course we are just trying to gloss over this being Japanese language... Yet should this fail to make a translation, to miss out on it would surely be the more heinous crime...
