Summary: |
A young woman named Sophie is cursed by the Witch of the Waste, turns into an old woman, and is unable to tell anyone of her plight. Unable to continue her job at her mother's hat shop, she goes to the ambulatory castle of the notorious wizard Howl and insinuates herself into his household. Sophie befriends Calcifer, the fire demon who powers the castle and who is bound to Howl by a contract, the terms of which Calcifer cannot reveal. They promise to help each other with their problems. Like Calcifer, Howl can also see through the Witch's spell, and he and Sophie fall in love. Sophie helps Howl confront his former teacher, and the Witch of the Waste. (from IMDB) |

Howl's Moving Castle has long been on my list of favorite movies. It's made for both male and female viewers and nearly everyone I know who's watched it loves it. The story is excellent, the character development (including that of the fire demon) is perfect, and there's enough humor, drama, romance, adventure, and also slight horror (i.e. the monsters created by Howl's past mentor) to keep you riveted. The movie is also about loyalty, friendship, and family- the main characters are misfits that have gotten together in a family of sorts. I couldn't think of anything that should be changed and only wish there could be a sequel. Oh, Howl's gorgeous - should a perk for female viewers!

The story of beginning already hinted us of the direction this series would go in, and despite this, this anime is just as...
