Not usually a big fan of ani-comics/cinemanga but with the level of detail Ghibli has in their films this could be a very nice set to pour over.
Can't wait to see this movie. |

At first I thought they got the film itself. If they had then they might also get Only Yesterday.

That would be rather interesting, though kind of impossible, since the Walt Disney Company has had a monopoly over Ghibli movies since Kiki's Delivery Service. Still, as the article states, Disney is gonna be releasing the film itself next February, so no worries about the film there (unless you have some attitude against the way Disney casts characters). It's unfortunate that they haven't released Only Yesterday-- it probably would've been the best time to release it close to the time that it premiered on TCM years back. It kinda makes sense, though... it's a rather nostalgic, slice-of-life movie, if I remember it correctly, and is probably a film that compared to other Ghibli films fewer would actually "get", particularly more adult audiences (I know I didn't back then). |

Good thing Borrowers fans have no qualms about moving the story to another land like Tokyo, unlike Akira fans.

Ugh. These damn screen cap comics aren't worth the paper they're printed on. Not when Viz does them, not when Dark Horse does them, not when TokyoPop did them (especially if it stars Paris Hilton).

Arrietty was a fantastic movie, and probably Ghibli's best of the past 4 years or so. Alas that Disney is waiting so long to release it in North America; it's been out of Japanese theaters for months and has already made its way to other countries, like France. If you want to a chance to see the movie before Disney releases it in February the Japanese DVD/blu-rays come out in a few weeks, and will have English subs.
Now I'm really excited for Ghibli's newest film, From the Kokuri Hills, to come out in July! |

I'm disappointed that these are the only plans for their Ghibli Library imprint. I'd be far more interested in seeing the follow-up book to "Starting Point", or "Daydream Data Notes" in translation. And I'm very disappointed that the Laputa artbook was not translated yet (it's my favorite Ghibli film!).
