AKA an excuse for me to complain about the Howl's Moving Castle movie by Studio Ghibli.
Listen. The BOOK by Diana Wynne Jones is my absolute FAVORITE BOOK OF ALL TIME. A friend sent it to me and I loved it so much I read it twice in one day and then proceeded to read it another three times that week. To this day it is still my favorite book and I can read it a thousand times.
So imagine my excitement and glee and joy that I was going to not only get to see it made into a movie, but it was also by Studio Ghibli who makes AWESOME movies!
And then I watched it and they changed key characters which altered things I loved about the original story and left out cool tidbits that also really made the story. >:[ I won't give any spoilers, but they changed important things. It's a different story. It's an INSPIRED BY Howl's Moving Castle retelling.
Now every time I see people happy about the Howl's Moving Castle Movie I go into a silent rage about it not being MY Howl. ;_; It was a good movie and as always Studio Ghibli made a banger. ...but it's not MY beautiful favorite bestest story. And thus... even though I want to love it, I cannot.

What is something you too wish you could LOVE but for some really dumb reason you CAN'T?
