I don't quite like the art. Anyway I might check the movie out. |
Does anyone else think that the character designs look like they're from Mohiro Kitoh? |
hmmm interesting, its my type of genre so i might like it. but we'll see when more info is releaced How to Watch Naruto Without Filler: http://bit.ly/LncQif How to Watch Bleach Without Filler (Complete): http://bit.ly/y0UQTO Find me on Final Fantasy XIV!

Sounds like it has potential. And it's Ghibli...so, yeah, I'll watch it.  |
A shoujo? Interesting. |
Let's hope Goro can pull it off Ghibli style this time, or rather, I'll look forward to it nonetheless :) |

I'd have to agree with you... don't think I'l be watching this one...      "If only if only, the woodpecker cried, the bark on the tree was as soft as the sky" || ♪My mind, heart is broken♫ |
I'll watch this... I'm watching anything (almost) from Studio Ghibli. I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
I hope Miyazaki Goro has matured and is actually ready to direct this movie.  |
ghibli will probably auto must it for me If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card). |
Miyazaki Hayao... I thought you hate i-products... Then how come you just gave me an "i-came"?!!! 0_o  If he's not with us, he's AGAINST us!!! |
Will probably watch when it come outs :p TIME TO LIVE FOREVER BABY! http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=19549 Please join if you love Asian Cinema :) |
Another Ghibli Anime on my list ... |
Hopefully, this will be a better film than the previous but if his film can be on par with Hayao's, then I would show respect for him. If it's worse than the previous film, Well, there's always another chance i Guess but his rep will just start decreasing. |
DirtyRoxanne said: Uh, no... that's a quite disturbing thought. We all know what kind of works does Kitoh produce.Does anyone else think that the character designs look like they're from Mohiro Kitoh? I am looking forward to see another Ghibli work. |
Whoa, great news! I'm gonna check this out~  |
I am expecting great things. I quite liked Tales of Earthsea even though it was clear that Goro was completely inexperienced and really needed his father's help. This time around, he is working with his father, so I am not expecting another Pom Poko or Ponyo (AKA a bad film). Plus, his artwork is better than anyone else currently at Ghibli. |
Maybe i'm gonna check this out. <img src="http://enema27.host22.com/sigs/frosti/sig.php" border="0" /> |
I'm more worried about Goro's ability to live up to our expectations..... bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
wonder if he can pull it off this time. good luck GOROOOOOOOOOOOOO! Moderator edit: Next time if you see your post rapes the layout, edit the post. -Chavez Modified by Chavez, Dec 15, 2010 11:01 AM  |
Uh oh. :( |
I'm so going to watch this thing. Not because it's Ghibli or because Hayao Miyazaki loved this Manga enough to animate it, no, it's because of Goro only. I'm very interested in how much he can mature doing this and how he'll fight to throw away the imagine of "Hayao's son". I'll stay tuned. |
dont think the majority of people realize that they love ghibli due to hayao and that he isnt directing this..... Well I am interested to see if Goro will take up his father's mantle and lead Ghibli into another era. Cause unfortunately Hayao cant be around forever making fabulous movies ;_; *fingers crossed* |
Waaah! Ghibli! I may as well give it ago...who knows what it'll be like, since its shoujo and all.. But Goro just keeps trying. I guess he wants to carry on the Miyazaki legacy. If this film is a success, it would do his father proud. <img src="http://www.sandata.com/includes/assets/loading.gif" border="0" /> Wait for it......waaait.... |
Owh.. this is Ghibli !! but why should it be shoujo ?? O_0  |
The poster looks really nice. The plot seems somewhat nice as well. Also, it's Ghibli, so I'll be sure to watch this sooner or later.  ------------------------ Database Guidelines Denials: anime | manga Modifications: anime | manga ----------------------------------- |
Will watch this! :D Anything from Ghilbi is bound to be great as usual. |
I wish they'd do an original screenplay instead of an adapted manga, as that is where Studio Ghibli shines. |
Miyazaki Goro? Yeah, no. I won't watch any movie he's breathed on after the abomination that was Tales from Earthsea. Even if he has improved, it won't be nearly enough to make a semi-decent movie. Some part of me believes Hayao Miyazaki actually hates this manga. It's the only reason I can imagine him letting his son direct it. Or he's gone senile. Either way. In general Ghibli kind of fails at adaptations, but maybe this being a manga instead of a foreign novel gives it some hope. |
I'll check it out cuz its Ghibli ! :D [Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service are my fave anime movies. ♥] |
will check this out since it's ghibli! :) |
I'll watch this since it's ghibli of course, not expecting much though (since it's goro). Miyazaki Hayao loves the manga. OMG, need to read it now! (I didn't even knew that hayao actually read manga's) |
peroxid said: OMG, need to read it now! (I didn't even knew that hayao actually read manga's) The manga looks hard to find though. It's not even on MAL's database. Or am I missing something?  |
ios said: Ghibli!!! ill watch it Ghibli is the best  |

I'm looking forward to the release of this since it comes out on my birthday! xD Too bad I can't be in Japan though... ==" Hope it's not too disappointing.. Since I haven't seen tales from earthsea yet, I don't know what Goro's work is like in comparison to Hayaos'..but I'm hoping it will be good.. It IS Ghibli after all ^^ [url=http://myanimelist.net/animelist/cherushii_desu&sclick=1][IMG] |

(I didn't even knew that hayao actually read manga's) LOL. You know, it's hard to write manga when you didn't read it xD And also i don't think that ghibli is bad with manga adaptations, "whisper of the heart" is one of my favourites. And also i think "pom poko" is definetly one of their best. About this movie: i'm looking forward to it, epsecially because Hayao Miyazaki is the one who written script here. But if the arrow is straight And the point is slick It can pierce through dust No matter how thick... |
definitely a MUST watch. but what happened to The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter? I've seen it on wiki on one of ghibli's future films for a long time, yet they announced this movie instead. I feel like the bamboo cutter was there even before Borrowers Arrietty. |
i'll watch maybe Isn't she great she can turn off and on that Japanese crap like a annoying sister at a japanese restaurant. |
