Random Question of the Week: Where is your ideal summer vacation spot?

In this episode of the Spiraken Manga Review, Xan finishes the Month of Totoros Tanukis and Tenacious Children without the assistance of his usual cadre of co-hosts but does have a surprise guest host to assist him in this great endeavor. He reviews arguably one of Hayao Miyazaki's best films of all time: The mystical action/adventure/fantasy/environmental film Mononoke Hime/The Princess Mononoke, starring Billy Crudup, Claire Danes, Minnie Driver, Billy Bob Thorton, John Di Maggio, John DeMita, Jada Pinkett Smith, Keith David and Gillian Anderson. For the original Japanese it is starring Yoji Matsuda, Yuriko Ishida, Yuko Tanaka, Kaoru Kobayashi, Tsunehiko Kamijo, Sumi Shimamoto , Akihiro Miwa, and Hisaya Morishige
But that's not all, our intrepid hosts also review the newest Studio Ghibli film, Kari-gurashi no Arietti/ Arrietty/The Secret World of Arriety which was directed by newcomer Hiromasa Yonebayashi and stars (well for the UK release anyway) Saoirse Ronan, Mark Strong, Olivia Colman, Like Allen-Gale, Tom Holland, Phyllida Law, Geraldine McEwan and Ray Gillon. For the original Japanese Dub we have Mirai Shida, Ryunosuke Kamiki, Shinobu Otake, Keiko Takeshita, Tatsuya Fujiwara, Tomokazu Miura, and Kirin Kik as the stars of the film. For the abysmal US Dubm there is Bridget Mendler, David Henrie, Amy Poehler, Gracie Poletti, Moises Arias, Will Arnett, and Carol Burnett.
There is also an in depth discussion about the history of Studio Ghibli as well as some of the other things that Hayao Miyazaki has worked on in his long illustrious career. We also discuss the misadventures of our possible mascot, Barry the Kodama and why some actors should not be voice actors
