Hmm, I'll have to buy me a copy of the picture book, not only for drawing inspiration but just in case my older sister plans on having a kid.

This is kind of disappointing. I wish Viz would do more with their Ghibli Library imprint. I would really love to see The Art of Castle in the Sky (the only art book they haven't published yet) or Daydream Data Notes in English. I realize that a Totoro picture book is probably a more commercial release, but aren't there enough Ghibli fans out there to justify the more serious stuff?

They need to release a Studio Ghibli movie collection and not make the movies $40 each

What I really think they should be doing is releasing the novels that Kiki's Delivery Service is based on and other stuff like that (ie. original works that were adapted by Ghibli), rather than all this crappy movie tie-in stuff that was invented for 2 reasons and 2 reasons only:
1. To make money. 2. To disappoint children who's parents don't want them to watch things on screens by providing a supposedly more worthy but completely artistically bankrupt substitute that's a vastly inferior experience to both the actual films and a book that isn't a (graphic) novelization of a film. |
