My next question for this group… Besides our beloved MasterAdmin (who has an avatar of Totoro) is there anyone else who is a fan of Hayao Miyazaki? Have his films been translated into Russian? Are they popular in Russia? If so, is it only with children or do adults appreciate them as well?
I can't speak for the whole nation, but I do enjoy his movies immensely, although I don't think I am a child anymore. I look at myself in the mirror and I am almost positive I am an adult . I wish more of his films were translated [in English] and available for "foreign" public, because he certainly is a very talented fella.

Japanese animation used to be very popular in the USSR times, it was something different and refreshing, but I'm not sure about what happens now.
