Gammler - Another fine Miyazaki work. There's also a TV series, but I've never seen it. The movie is another Must See ... just watch every Miyazaki film within grasp (except Grave of the Fireflies, unless you want to be depressed).
Nyushram - Pending
Skorch - Not seen it yet
Itchy - Plot: There's not really a driving force or event. It seems more like a series of interconnected "episodes." Towards the end it kind of gains meaning, but it seems like too little too late. -4
Animation: Nothing particular wrong with it, it just didn't stick out as being anything spectacular.
Character: (20)
Originality: Just about every Miyazaki work has very imaginative creatures, settings, and situations. My Neighbor Totoro is no exception.
Music: (20)
