So I FINALLY got around to watching Ponyo. I've been dying to see it ever since the banner contest, so my husband and I rented it this week. It was uber cute! A little on the weird side but that was to be expected. I loved the little mermaid storyline, and the Ponyo/Sosuke relationship was precious. It really was a magical and beautifully creative thing to watch! So watch it. It's worth it just to see the art.
