Well I know officially there's girl Boos, but it's changed a bit I think. In Mario Party 4 I believe it was there was the big pink female Boo, but now that we have King Boo the little normal white ones could very well be female... It's the next big gender debate after Sheik!

Thanks!

There are more than a handful of artists on dA that greatly inspire me, but your four make me want to go run off and make something beautiful.

\o/ Yay, you did it! I'm glad you did as this was really interesting to look at.
Seeing Baron put the stupidest grin on my face. xD

I really loved The Cat Returns. I remeber watching it with a few friends who live down my street and we all found the idea of cats walking on their back legs hilarious.
Baron was easy to fall in love with in that movie, kinda like Howl (spotted him in the meme as well ;D) but we all know that.

Niraven In reply to SlippedDisco [2010-09-20 15:10:46 +0000 UTC]

Yes definitely. And as a bonus, Baron was voiced by Cary Elwes! Definitely one of my favorite Ghibli films, and also one of my very favorite graphic novels.

It's hard to pick a definite Ghibli favourite, I must say. XD Mine would have to be between Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away and Kiki's Delivery Service. Ghibli just generally kicks ass.

I'm yet to read The Cat Returns as a graphic novel; it sounds pretty promising now.

Niraven In reply to SlippedDisco [2010-09-20 16:08:25 +0000 UTC]

It's very close to the movie, super charming and sweet! And the original Baron is black.

For me it's also a really tough call, but I think Howl's Moving Castle would win out, closely followed by The Cat Returns, Castle in the Sky, and Nausicaa.

SlippedDisco In reply to Niraven [2010-09-20 16:23:11 +0000 UTC]

Oh right! o: I'll be sure to look out for it then.

Nice choices. It's pretty funny how I've never actually seen My Neighbour Totoro, which you could easily call the iconic character for Studio Ghibli. I need to fix that someday. And watch Avatar.

Niraven In reply to SlippedDisco [2010-09-20 16:26:36 +0000 UTC]

Yes definitely fix it! Totoro is adorable. It's not my favorite but still completely loveable.
