on FB, there is a little Preview/Trailer Video. Perhaps you guys want to Link to it? Or has you no FB Link rule?

But on this Trailer, the CG Ship in the Storm feels like an ToyShip. They forgotten the Mass of this Ship, it's not build around Plastic you know. especial the last second. But oh well, it's to Late. For the Future dear CG Ship Animators, do not forget their tons submerged displacement and Heavy Mass of its Body. Even today's Oil tankers body are in movement and bend to the force of Water, because of their own weight and dullness

A studio that has done many Tezuka works is now doing a movie that resembles a Miyazaki/Ghibli film. That seems interesting. To me, even if Miyazaki did more directing than him, Miyazaki still can't hold a candle to Tezuka (I find that only Tezuka's protege, Ishinomori, can).

I visited the real Hikawa Maru ship last Thursday, Hikawa shrine in Omiya last Sunday and saw Hikawa Maru Monogatari in a cinema in Yokohama last Monday.

Within the limits of its budget and a child-friendly rating it does a good job. While the characters in the story are fictional, the large-scale events are true.

The Hikawa Maru itself was built to withstand icebergs that might be encountered on the voyages to and from Seattle learning lessons from the shortcomings in the design of the Titanic and survived not only a storm that tilted the ship 25 degrees but hitting floating explosive mines while on duty as a hospital ship during the second world war.

[Also recommended is the live action movie "The Emperor in August" about the final few weeks of the war in Japan.]
