Film4, you are very quickly becoming my favourite television channel. Watching animated films on TV that don't originate from either the US or the UK is becoming increasingly difficult, but it seems we're going to continue having a place to watch great Japanese animation.

Starting Tuesday 26th March, Film4 will kick off a new Ghibli season with Spirited Away, ending on the 13th April with Castle in the Sky. There is at least one film a day, with 18 different films shown over the period. I'll definitely be using it as an opportunity to finally see My Neighbour Totoro, as well as other films I haven't got around to, like Whisper of the Heart.

Unfortunately Film4 is only available to those in the UK, Ireland and Switzerland. Those of you that get the channel should definitely give the movies a watch, if only to support their constant efforts to play great Japanese animation. Be sure to check out a full list of films and times after the jump.
