Guess I don't know of her then... I really want to see that show, but alas I demand an english dub. Kinda holding out hope of some way to see the Animax-Asia dub or sumit...

But another case in point. I recently received "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" DVD and on the wrapper was a sticker saying the same thing. Studio Ghibli had absolutely no input for this film, so what's that all about? I even wrote to Amazon about it, but got no reply.

To be fair, I doubt Amazon care about what they're selling or what it claims to be. Manga would be the ones to ask about that. Yamamoto and Hosoda (the Art Director and Director respectively) have been involved with Ghibli - it's a tenuous link for sure, but probably enough to validate Manga's claim.

Yeah, mine had that too. I just assumed that like Hayao Miyazaki's aunt's daughter's husband's dog had visited the studio once or somerthing like that.

You saw that in the credits, did you? I'm at work now so can't play it, but there isn't any info at ANNs encyclopedia that shows any involvement by Studio Ghibli.

Has chaos instated that ignore user function already, and has everyone chosen to ignore me?

I honestly didn't even notice
I actually google searched it
 
Sorry ayase, I didn't see that either, however that is tenuous.....at best. It's like Kadokawa PR department walked in and asked "Hey, anybody here work for Ghibli in the past?" these two raised their hand, and the PR manager said, "Yes! Slap a sticker on." It's going to become meaningless soon, if it hasn't already, and if I were Suzuki, I'd slap an injunction on it right quick.

Well I bought it too, but not for that reason alone, and regardless sticker, or no sticker. I wonder how that makes the other people involved in the creation of it who haven't worked for Ghibli in the past feel?

Hmm, been meaning to get the anime of Berserk for a while now - if it turns up cheap I reckon I'll go for it.

Ends on a cliffhanger so you know

I know, I've seen it before and read most of the manga to date. Just don't have my own copy yet.

seems pointless but whatever * cough you could like watch something you haven't seen that doesn't end on a cliff hanger? End cough*

Or I could buy an awesome series that happens to have a disappointing ending. You didn't like it? Fine by me. I did, it's a worthy purchase, I'll enjoy rewatching it.

I've rarely seen an anime, film or TV series that hasn't been disappointing in some regard. Nothing's perfect, everything's flawed in some way but I'm less concerned about what a show does wrong than what it does right. Berserk delivers gripping drama, engaging character development and gritty action. Part of the reason the ending is a disappointment is because the build up was so good.

I could rave about all the flaws in your beloved Gurren Lagann or Naruto and tell you not to buy them, but unlike yourself I have a semblance of respect for others' opinions. So please no more spiteful remarks, I can't be bothered to lock horns over mention of a boxset.

I wouldn't call Berserk's (anime) ending disappointing. In fact, given the build up that the show offers, it's a downright awesome and thrilling conclusion, simply because of the build up and the character development. If I have a nitpick about it, I'd say that the very first episode ought to be ditched, or at least left till last.

If you have to call Berserk's ending a disappointment, it's only because it's the textbook definition of leaving you wanting more. The disappointment is in that there is no more, no more animated at least.
