NEWS: Next Ghibli Movie

Well, it's not that they really messed it up. "Wo" is still correct, it all depends on how you romanize it, considering it's pronounced with the 3rd tone. Although from my perspective, I've rarely seen it typed as "wuo" instead. Maybe it's just me ::shrugs:: The "shile" thing isn't that big of deal either, since they probably just forgot to put a space in btw.

a new Miyazaki film already? damn!

i'm just surprised he's so active. you'd think he would have taken a break by now.

Totally. You, of all people, know that I could care less about Miyazaki's work at this point in time, but Tonari no Yamada-kun is one of my favorite movies of all time.

True that. And Meera-sensei still has my copy of it. But I suppose I should've known better, after all she never returned a single page of my work.

I wonder where he's going to look for material. I'm hoping he goes for more of a drama this time, something to resurrect the thread of regret and natsukashisa from Hotaru no Haka and Yanagawa Horiwari Monogatari. Though another happy movie would be by no means be unwelcome if he's at the helm.

P.S. I'm going to Gyeongju, Korea in August for a year with this program. One of my classes is for potential flight attendants and I get to teach it in a classroom shaped like the inside of an airplane. Crazy, ne? What're you up to?

EDIT: I just realized our post counts are currently identical. Oooohh-weee-oooooh!

I hate Meera. She said the meanest thing to me ever, on the way to Sanjuusangendou, in the Taxi, and I'll never, never ever forget as long as I live.

I want happy natsukashisa. That's always been my favorite genre. I've just stopped being into sad movies...
I think that if this is an exact copy of Yamada-kun, it will disappoint me, but I am looking forward to something with the quirkyness that Yamada-kun had. I really loved the art style, just because it was different, but great, and way better to capture that sort of 4-koma manga sketchyness in the form of an animation.

But, yeah... I don't know if I even want it to be family interest... since it's so been done... maybe something with a broader scope? I don't know.

All I know is I'm totally looking forward to this... about 100x more than I care about seeing more Miyazaki films.

I was on Princeton in Ishikawa, so it's basically run through the same place (2001)...

Still with all the Korea and all, eh? I admire that, mainly because I would have given up long ago were it me, but that's cool.

Are we still on for Acen?

(oh yeah... I'm going to Cali... I got a summer internship with Tokyopop, now I just need to find somewhere to live... )

Great news! I'm very glad to see Takahata returning to directing. Plus, a new Miyazaki movie is always a cause for celebration.

Actually I wouldn't mind if he went back and did another unusual romance a la Poro Poro. Or maybe something totally unexpected... like a Kawabata adaptation? If anyone can pull that off it's Takahata.

Absolutely! The temporary bedding of your choice is waiting. And I won't even make you wait an hour and half at 5 in the morning to get in!

Dude! Right in my backyard. I grew up in Burbank. We should get together in LA after I graduate.

I thought this too until I saw Howl's Moving Castle. Now I'm not so sure. I think it's about time he retire.
