Yes and No

I don't know what the technical terms are, but Miyazaki films are the best Japan has to offer as far as animated features. I wouldn't call them anime because they aren't typical quick and cheap TV Japanimation. They're more like Disney movies (which may be why Disney bought the US distribution rights to them).

I had heard of them in Hong Kong, but I didn't watch an entire one until Spirited Away came out on DVD a couple of years ago.

Check 'em out!

(oh, the following titles are currently available in English, listed here in random order:
My Neighbor Totoro
Laputa: Castle in the Sky
Princess Mononoke
Spirited Away
Kiki's Delivery Service)
