Was anyone else reminded of this character from The Incredibles when watching The Wind Rises? I kept thinking Kurokawa's voice in the English version should have been done by Gilbert Godfried instead of Martin Short. From the beginning of the film, I was immediately thinking about costumes. I like Jiro's train outfit better than the suit throughout the film, but that may be because of the barbershop quartet type hat. It's not very likely i'll ever put this together, but here is an idea for a couples costume This may be the most visually stunning anime i've seen yet. The fire and the wind looks computer animated, and i was amazed by how fluid the movements of the characters were. Even so, it is not my favorite Ghibli film.
