It's written and directed by Sunao Katabuchi, the writer for four of the five Miyazaki-directed episodes of Sherlock Hound (six episodes (the first six episodes, that is) were produced at Telecom, five of which were directed by Miyazaki and one which is attributed to Miyazaki but was actually directed by Nobuo Tomizawa and written by Toshiya Ito, but I digress, sorry), and the assistant director for Kiki's Delivery Service, so of course a fanatical Ghibli fan such as I would be interested.

At first I wasn't remotely interested and didn't pay attention to its production crew and what the story is really about. But after seeing the trailer, it seems to be quite interesting. The drawing style resembles Toei's late 60-70smovie productions, which is quite a fresh breath when almost every anime protagonist nowadays has gigantic eyes and other common features. The story sounds Ghibli-esque enough for my taste. A pity that the price of the DVD is a quite steep (6300 yen).
