Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi, aka Spirited away, is the first anime to win an Oscar, for Best Animated Feature, in 2003. At 124 minutes Hayao Miyazaki's film is also the longest movie to win this category.

TV SERIES THAT HAVE CAUGHT MY ATTENTION

There are plenty of shows on cable to choose from. My wife wont watch the cable when I had the remote since I jump from one channel to another. But there are some series that I do stick around and finished before jumping to another one. One of it is Wipeout, they say that laughter is the best medicine, then watch this one. It always makes me laugh. Especially when the contestant try to hurdle those balls hahahaha. Although male contestant usually wins in the end, I do wish some female contestant would dominate too.

And also there is the anime series which is for me is the best, that is why I get cable, for the sole reason of having to watch anime. When it comes to anime Bleach is the one for me. Kurosaki Ichigo is really a cool character, having to wield that massive sword of his and fighting of hollows, arrancars, espadas and of course the very powerful Aizen. I hope Ichigo defeats Aizen, although I think it will be a fierce one because Aizen is one tough dude, powerful, cunning and very unforgiving and another thing that is a mystery to me about Aizen is his sword, I haven't seen it's Shikai or its Bankai. So, how about you? whats your favorite series in cable TV.

ASTRO BOY

Wow i really like this movie, although the story is far far away from the story of Astro that i have seen on anime series. But for the kids today who is not familiar with Astro Boy they're going to have a blast with this one. The movie brings values such as friendship, responsibility which can be nice for kids. The animation was great, the fighting scene was nice too. But for those die hard Astro Boy fans who have followed this character from the start would be really mad since the origin of Astro is way of from the original one. But still for me, i still like it.

DRAGONBALL EVOLUTION

First of all Im an avid anime fan, anime such as naruto,bleach and yes I like the Dragonball series and its movie. So back to Dragonball Evolution, my God who made this film, i mean the story, the characters was way off, an exact u turn from the anime series, the only correct thing that they've done is the names of each character hahahaha. For Dragonball fans please don't watch this movie. For starter's you got a Goku who doesnt look near the original one, a lousy kamehameha, a midget size saiyan ape(Kingkong is much bigger than this pathetic ape of theirs), a Piccolo who looks like the Martian Man from the Justice League, there's more fighting scenes from the Matrix and a much better one to. I can go for hours writing all the things bad about this movie and from the look of things at the end part, it looks like they plan to make another movie about this. What a very disappointing one.
