Laputa: Castle in the Sky

Anime is a passion of mine and recently I bought this acclaimed anime to add to my collector upon recommendation by friends from the Studio Ghibi catalogue.

The high-flying journey begins when Pazu, an engineer's apprentice, finds a young girl, Sheeta, floating down from the sky, wearing a glowing pendant. Together, they discover both of them  are searching for the legendary floating castle, Laputa, vowing to unravel the mystery of the luminous crystal around her neck. 

Their quest it has to be said will not be easy, however for there are sky pirates, secret agents and monumental obstacles stopping them from discovering the truth - and each other. 

 However, Laputa is more than it appears, and some seek to use it for evil.
Director Hayao Miyazaki's love of air travel shows through this anime that I greatly enjoyed.
