ココです。
A movie by Studio Ghibli is set to be released in November 2013. It is called かぐや姫の物語, "The Story of Princess Kaguya". I am really excited about this not just because it is another Studio Ghibli movie this year (after Kaze Tachinu) but it is based off of arguably the most famous traditional Japanese story "The tale of the bamboo cutter" or "Kaguya hime".
Here's a teaser:
If it follows the plot of the original story I would want more; I hope that there are lots of added plot elements in the movie. Though the original story is a fairly long tale, there's a lot more a movie could do.
It's been a while since Isao Takahata directed a movie. It will be interesting to see how this goes:)

ReplyDeleteYou seem to really like Japanese legends. If so, there is a game called "Okami" that is based off of numerous Japanese legends and it is super fun! I am also excited for this movie to come out! The artwork is very unique when you compare it to modern anime. This one looks as if it were hand painted with water colors!
Nice to meet you! I do really enjoy Japanese legends and Japanese history! I've heard of the game before, actually, but never had the chance to play it. It's on Amazon Prime too, tempting:)
DeleteI love Studio Ghibli films! I haven't really been keeping up with the newer films after Arrietty, but this movie will give me an excuse to catch up! Isao Takahata directed Grave of the Fireflies right? That was a really good but heart-breaking film so I'm interested in seeing how this film turns out!
ReplyDeleteYup! I can't wait!
