I Think I'm Turning Japanese

Turning Japanese - Film - Entertainment - smh.com.au: "Akira was the pebble that started the anime avalanche. Then there were the brilliant Ghost in the Shell and Princess Mononoke. By the time Spirited Away won the best-animated-feature Oscar in 2003, the Japanese studios had long forged a reputation for magnificent, thought-provoking animation that challenged anything coming out of Hollywood.
Sydney will be anime central in October. Spirited Away director Hayao Miyazaki's latest hit, Howl's Moving Castle, is screening here in the Japanese and English versions, the latter voiced by Billy Crystal and Lauren Bacall. Reelanime features a hit parade of anime films such as Millennium Actress, Escaflowne, the astonishing Ghost in the Shell and its mesmerising sequel, Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence. The Animania Festival has everything from anime to manga comics and karaoke. Anime is also part of the Supanova Film Fan Festival, which includes voice actors from the cartoon Dragonball, as well as John Rhys-Davies (The Lord of the Rings)."
