The Gensomaden Saiyuki manga/anime version of Son Goku from the Journey to the West story. He's a bubbly, happy, always-hungry teenager who just happens to have been born from the earth and imprisoned in a cave for five hundred years as punishment for something that he doesn't remember. And who turns into a mindless fighting and killing machine if his power limiter is broken. He's the guy in the icon on this comment.
Omoide Poroporo, which I've seen translated as "Only Yesterday," is another Miyazaki movie, about a 27-year-old office lady who takes her vacations in the country working on a farm. This particular vacation, she goes to the farm, thinks a lot about one particular summer when she was a kid, and makes a decision. That's it. It's as low-key as Record of a Yokohama Shopping Trip, and as compelling. It's one of teh movies that Disney has the rights to, but hasn't released on DVD yet, although there's a fansub out there somewhere. I've seen it in incredibly low-quality, grainy fansub and if Disney doesn't get their act together soon, I'm going to have to find the DVD fansub.
