Ged Senki: Tales from Earthsea

[zibo]

Does anyone know when Tales from Earthsea from Studio Ghibli will be released in USA ? I couldn't find any info. Also is it translated by any group already ?

Dunno, but the books are good. I saw something over it on Anime News Network, you might want to check there.

Well, this has been released a few months ago. The movie is from Goro Miyazaki, son of the famous Hayao Miyazaki (Princes Mononoke, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Spirited Away).

Here a couple of rips for the movie. I don't know which ones are good, so get them at your own risk. I'm going to try the BiGGuY version myself:

Studio Ghibli`s latest full-length animated feature directed by Hayao Miyazaki`s son Goro Miyazaki! The world is gripped in terror as plants are drying up, livestock are going to waste, and the human brain begins to corrupt. Natural disasters are punishing the kingdom of Enlad and the light which should be bringing balance to the world is weakening. Meanwhile the sacred sword has been stolen from the king by an assassin. On the verge of passing out, the king mutters the name "Arren" . . . the name of his only son who is on a journey to find the source of the destruction in the world. When Arren comes across the powerfull sorcerer Haitaka, a man formerly known as Ged who is the root of the terror, the balance of the world begins to crumble and Arren`s life itself is on the edge. However, when Haitaka witnesses Arren`s inability to overcome the darkenss in his own heart, Haitaka sees elements of himself in the young prince. He spares his life and the two venture out into the world.

Coincidentally, I've just bought the DVD last week and also wrote a little of what I felt in my blog entry. The movie doesn't seem to retain the magic that Miyazaki Hayao has created in the previous few movies, and perhaps that was the reason he was against his son Goro doing this movie.

Has anyone watched it?

I haven't seen it yet, but I heard the author of the novel wasn't all that happy or impressed with the movie. But I think it should be a good enough movie, will say more when I actually watch it.

Well, you can't really go wrong with Studio Ghibli, and I'm sure most people will still enjoy it. I read that it did well in the Japanese box office when it was released back then.

The movie won't hit the theaters over here before the end of this month, but I'll definitely go and watch it when it does.

I don't remember anything about the books, though, since I was but a kid when I read them, but in a way that's a good thing as it ensures I can't compare them and thus can enjoy the movie as it is.
