NeilGaiman

Gaiman wrote the dub script for MononokeHime?, not SpiritedAway. - Nataku

Kazu no baka...  Question stands though, was the sub also his?  And was the SpiritedAway sub/dub a generic Disney thing or anyone we might know? - Kazuhiko

The work of a writer in adapting a dub translation is mainly to make the cultural references smoother as well as (in animation) to fit the lip-flaps.  Gaiman's work on the sub script was therefore less than on the dub, but I believe he did work for both.  The writers for SpiritedAway are a tyro team, not big names; I believe it was their first endeavor. - Nataku

Oh, that does not fill me with confidence: I was looking forward to seeing Spirited Away, but rather hoping that the English script would be of a better quality than the absolute dreck which seems to be the standard for Japanese cartoons. -- ChiarkPerson.
