I was fortunate enough to get these new releases through the post yesterday, 4 days before their intended release (ironically from Bensonsworld... who usually get DVDs out to me about 2 weeks late!). I can easily recommend them, but I'd have to say that they're possibly my least favoured Ghibli releases (of what i've seen so far). Nevertheless, they're still awesome! Buy Buy Buy!

TBH, my judgement may be clouded by the fact that i'm feeling quite ill at the moment. Nevertheless, they both contain rather emotional scenes in their last halves. But as far as things go, these are probably two of the more outlandish Ghibli films.
 
Have to say that I love Porco Rosso, not my favourite Ghibli related film but it's not far behind any. It's a must see. I haven't seen Pom Poko but I think I will be getting it, it's the completist in me. Now I have to decide whether to get Porco Rosso again even though I have the Chinese version...
