its a uniquely Miyazaki film, one only he could make and its uniqueness places it beyond being easily critiqued.[About Porco Rosso]
taken from a quote of Saddletank and Orphic Okapi

Shades of Godzilla and Mothra!!! Tokyo is going down again...

I'd see it if only for the comparasion to the animated movies...

Random question: Does anybody know how many times Tokyo has been destroyed or severly ravaged by the film industry?

Just a little bit about Hayao's new movie:

Most of the stuff we all probably know but there was an interesting quote. Hayao said, its “not the sort of work that everyone in the audience can relax and watch”.

That sounds really cool. I'm all for venturing of new genres and storylines, although if it turns out like Porco Rosso, then it can't really be called new, lol.

Something fresh like Only Yesterday and Pom Poko would be good for the studio once in a while.

Yes, it sounds very interesting indeed, especially for Miyazaki. As good as he is at what he does, his films do tend to be along similar lines each time, so I'm excited to see something different from him.

Heidi, I tried to translate on three different sites and each time, all it did was repeat the same words back at me... This will take someone who speaks Japanese...

wow lots of things come up when you search kaze tachinu, check out these pics!

https://www.google.com.au/search?q=kaze+...232&bih=792

Edit: Ok i just read that this film is based on a manga by himself and so these pics probably arent so exciting ;/

but anyway, i read on an imdb forum that the translation is 'The Wind Has Risen'.

I clicked your link and saw this picture on it.



I clicked the pic and found this statement:


Miyazaki depicted one more giant airplane in his recent manga "Kaze tachinu--風立ちぬ--A wind rises "
"Kaze tachinu" depicts the life of Horikoshi Jiro who worked as a airplane designer mainly in 1930s to 1940s. He is famous as the designer of carrier-based fighter Mitsubishi A6M Zero.
At the biginning of this manga, Miyazaki gives 3 pages to Italian airplane designer Caproni despite the manga has only 5 pages in its first issue. Caproni had fame from WW1 to WW2.

Also found another pic of this unusual plane... You can see the scale by the men at the rear of the plane.


Caproni often designed unique planes. Caproni Ca-60 was one of them. Ca-60 was a huge flying boat which has 9 wings and 8 engines. It flied only 90m in its test flight and crushed. The plane sank in the lake Maggiore and the 2 pilots died.

I also found this drawing from Kaze tachinu...

That's a gorgeus picture, Husky. Methinks this will be a bit like Porco rosso.

I got this off a studio ghibli facebook fan page:

'Recently on his radio show, Toshio Suzuki hinted at an "incredible plan" for Studio Ghibli in the summer of 2013. This "Summer of Ghibli" remains a mystery of yet, but Isao Takahata's long-awaited feature film ("The Story of the Bamboo Cutter" currently scheduled for release next summer. In addition, Hayao Miyazaki's next feature (almost certainly based on his 2009 Kaze Tachinu comic) is also planned for a summer release. Meaning 2013 will see a double-feature release by Ghibli's founders.

Every Ghibli movie of the last 15 years is heralded as "Miyazaki's retirement," for example. But next summer will be a critical milestone for the studio, as it completes its "Five Year Plan." This plan introduced the next generation of feature film directors, while Miyazaki prepares to move to a more background role. Can Studio Ghibli survive in a post-Miyazaki era? Would the public accept the new directors? Fortunately, The Borrower Arrietty and From Up on Poppy Hill became hits, and Goro Miyazaki is already in the planning stages of his next film (a samurai period piece).

Although no official word has been made, it's entirely reasonable that "Bamboo Cutter" and "Kaze Tachinu" will be the final directorial feature films by Takahata (75) and Miyazaki (71). Advancing age and the long production times necessary for feature animation almost requires it. The time may be coming for Studio Ghibli's legendary founders to take the stage one final time.

This is where Ghibli is headed, and Toshio Suzuki's plans involve this in some fashion.

Here is the translation from Suzuki-san's radio show, provided by T. Ishikawa and posted on GhibliWiki:

One of the guests asked Suzuki a question near the end of the radio show.

Guest: When is Takahata-san's film released?

Suzuki: Well, Miyazaki... (narration is inserted on top of Suzuki's voice)

Narration: Sorry, we cannot yet broadcast this talk, but, actually Suzuki-san seems to have an incredible plan which is not swept irresistibly by the current of the times.

Guests: Wooooow! (Guests are astonished by Suzuki's plan)

Suzuki: I'm so sorry, but we make all of next summer into Studio Ghibli.

(Laughter and the applause by guests)

Narration: Probably, Calcifer's flame begins to blaze like a brick from now on.'

Even if it would just be up for the running, that would be cool.

Kaze Tachinu and Kaguya-hime no Monogatari have been announced officially. Especially exciting is that they will open on the same day, just like Totoro and Grave of the Fireflies, but not as a double feature.

I'm really excited for these films! I really like the look of Hayao's poster, the girl looks great. And im so glad Isao is making another film, i love his characterization.
