...and it's quite different from the anime.
I'm surprised. I wouldn't have suspected them so different.
Thoughts, anybody?

I have to say I liked the book a bit better, although I lent out my copy to someone and never got it back. (DX) However, that's just because it was, in my opinion, a truly awesome book (Oh my [insert deity,] I almost wrote "fic") and it was still a brilliant movie.
I made a Bird!Howl costume for Halloween a long time ago.. It was awesome, I could move the wings and stuff. Anyway. -
Not surprised at all. by

Adaptations tend to be noticeably different. I'm just glad that this particular adaptation was good.
Did you read the sequel as well? -

No, I'm not all that surprised. Admittedly, I've only seen the movie version, but there are some things in a book that really don't translate well onto the big screen, and others that just may not fly well with the screenwriters... and then there's the fact that, you know, it's *Hayao Miyazaki*. He can do whatever he likes. XD

Same thing here. Of course, one of the people I watched the movie with gave a running commentary about all of the differences. So I have a decent idea of what you are talking about.
