Not that I mind, I think Howl doesn't look that bad - somehow, he reminds me vaguely of Ashitaka (but then again, he seems to use the same eye design so Howl would remind me vaguely of most hero/heroines that Miyazaki has drawn...)

I was hoping to actually hear Takuya Kimura's voice in that trailer, I think I've never heard his voice before - or at least, I have but I don't recognize it or remember it...

Now let's all hope this comes to Singapore within a few months of its Japanese release. Please please please please....
I wonder how big of a world-wide release it's going to get? However seeing as I managed to catch Spirited Away and The Cat Returns on the big screen I have high hopes of being able to watch Howl in a cinema!
I rather like how Diana Wynne Jones portrays her lead characters with some ambiguity, I wasn't sure initially if Howl was supposed to be a "good" guy and likewise Cat of one of the Chrestomanci books ~ or maybe I'm just a little slow Wonder how vain / evil^^ Howl's going to appear in the movie. Really looking forward to it, and gotta say at the risk of incurring kj1980's displeasure^^' that I'm kind of a fan of Takuya Kimura's, some of his earlier live-action works are great entertainment.
