Who here has this? I'm ordering it, and just wanted to know your opinions of this album.

Thanks in advance for your input.

It's great. Not much more to say

While you're at it, try the Akira soundtrack, and the Ghost in the Shell soundtrack... shoot, i'm an ex-otaku (anime-geek), so i could go on forever

It's a beautiful CD...it's recommended about as much as the Gladiator soundtrack. Joe Hisaishi does SUCH a good job as the director. Now what I really recommend is watching the movie (which is VERY good, rare is the anime movie with a moral behind it, the other being Grave of the Fireflies), then you'll truly understand what's going on behind the music.

<rant> Well, rare is the new anime movie with a moral. Look back into pre-1994 anime and you'll discover something completely different from the pokemon/burnupW/X-1999 meaningless crap that is popular today in america and japan. </rant> Breathe in... breathe out...

Ah, I really need to get that CD, thank you very much for reminding me. And Grave of the Fireflies... absolutely incredible movie. If anybody believes that anime isn't a serious art form, show them this movie. After they get done crying, they will believe.
