This is the full trailer for Japan's live-action big screen adaptation of of the anime film Kiki's Delivery Service. I have to admit the trailer put a smile on my face. It looks like it will be an adorable film. The story follows "a young girl named Kiki who must leave her home for a year to begin training in witchcraft. After saying goodbye to her friends and family Kiki leaves on her broom and begins her new life in the town of Koriko seaside with her trusted cat Jiji."
Anime fans, there will be slight changes from the story told in the anime as the live-action Kiki's Delivery Service will be based on Kadono's first two volumes while the 1989 anime from Studio Ghibli only covered the first. There are six collected volumes in total that chronicle the tales of Kiki and her black cat Jiji so it seems likely...

There are six collected volumes in total that chronicle the tales of Kiki and her black cat Jiji so it seems likely that if the first film is successful, a trilogy will be created adapting two books at a time. Takashi Shimizu (The Grudge) directs and newcomer Fūka Koshiba plays the titular lead. Ryōhei Hirota, Machiko Ono, Hiroshi Yamamoto, Miho Kanazawa, Rie Miyazawa and Michitaka Tsutsui also star.

Wolf Children
Written by Mamoru Hosoda and Satoko Okudera
Directed by Mamoru Hosoda
Japan, 2012
Breakthrough success for The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Summer Wars outside of Japan has seen director Mamoru Hosoda labelled “the next Miyazaki” in certain circles, in regards to being an anime filmmaker of increasing international reach and appeal. Perhaps befittingly, his new film Wolf Children has some similarities in feel with highlights of Studio Ghibli’s output. It combines a high-concept, fantastical premise – like, say, Miyazaki having a literal flying pig as a protagonist in Porco Rosso – with a tender exploration of human growth as found in Ghibli’s more low-key dramas like Only Yesterday and the wonderful Whisper of the Heart.
Opening with narration from Yuki, one of the eponymous children, the film flashes back to her future mother Hana as a university student, where she becomes drawn to a mysterious man on campus,...

First Trailer for To Aru Hikushi e no Tsuioku (Flashbacks to a Certain Aerial Pilot), written by Summer Wars and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time author Satoko Okudera.
Synopsis:
To Aru Hikūshi e no Tsuioku’s story revolves around Charles Karino, a Revaamu Empire mercenary aerial pilot who mans the twin-seater reconnaissance seaplane Santa Cruz. One day, he receives a preposterous assignment: to fly solo over 12,000 kilometers of enemy waters to protect a girl named Fana del Moral. Fana happens to be the next in line to the empire’s throne and a girl possessing beauty “equal to 5,000 beams of light.”

While most of us will have to wait some time until we’ll get to see an understandable release of Summer Wars (since the Japanese DVD and Blu-ray Disc releases in March won’t have English subtitles), our lucky friends in Berlin will soon have the chance to see the film on the big screen. During the 60th Berlinale (February 11 to 21), Mamoru Hosoda und Satoko Okudera’s anime adventure will be screened as part of the Generation 14plus program.
Welcome to the Space Show (Uchū Show e Yōkoso, 宇宙ショーへようこそ) from director Koji Masunari (Read or Die, Kamichu!) will also be screened during the festival. Judging from to the synopsis at Ann and the few artworks from the Japanese website it could be the younger theatrical brother of Summer Wars…

Manga Entertainment UK has made some very interesting announcement via the label’s official Twitter account. In the first place, Yoichi Sai’s Kamui Gaiden is supposed to be released on DVD and Blu-ray Disc in the UK this Summer. The live-action adaptation of the anime classic Ninpu Kamui Gaiden opened in Japan in September 2009 and will be released there on DVD and Blu-ray Disc (without English subtitles of course) in February.
And just a few hours ago, it was also announced that Mamoru Hosoda and Satoko Okudera’s hit anime Summer Wars will be released in September in the UK on DVD and Blu-ray Disc, just six month after the subtitle-less Japanese DVD and Blu-ray Disc release from Vap.
Talking about Mamoru Hosoda and Satoko Okudera, I also asked @MangaUK about the often announced and delayed Blu-ray Disc of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time but I didn’t receive an answer yet…...

Great, just great. Av Watch reports that Vap will release Mamoru Hosoda und Satoko Okudera’s award-winning and highly awaited anime Summer Wars on Blu-ray Disc and DVD in Japan on March 3, 2010. Just as expected, the article does not mention English subtitles for these releases and judging from Vap’s Blu-ray Disc release history so far I don’t think they will suddenly be added after all
But since the Warner Bros. logo appeared in most of the trailers released for the film so far, I still hope that the brothers will do their best to bring the film to the West with understandable subtitles soon enough…...

After the first five minutes of Mamoru Hosoda and Satoko Okudera’s Summer Wars have already been posted back in July, four more minutes have appeared online and show us some more beside the visitor’s tour to the virtual world of Oz.
Sadly no English subtitles are available…
…except in the music video for the song “The World of Oz” performed by the South-Korean band Clazziquai, even though they sing perfectly understandable English.

Still feeling lost in the virtual world of Oz in Mamoru Hosoda and Satoko Okudera’s Summer Wars?
Fear not, as the Japanese marketing machine has brought us an almost five minutes long tour or rather tutorial just a few days before the theatrical opening on August 1st. If you listen closely, you can even hear the original English (I guess Oz is pretty international) narrator over the Japanese voice over. The clip also shows a few new scenes from the “real” world, but nothing too spectacular.

Update: According to Ann, the video above shows the first five minutes of the film!

Once again the good folks from Manganimation have found new goodies for Mamoru Hosoda und Satoko Okudera’s upcoming anime Summer Wars from the depths of the net (2chan to be precise).
This time it’s a slightly modified version of the film’s second trailer that shows some new scenes from that still unexplained cyber world, and a nice new poster artwork (clicky left) without the perfect family idyll of the first motive…who parked his Humvee on my lawn?!

[Earlier post updated here with the addition of the full theatrical trailer!]
A couple summers back first time feature director Mamoru Hosoda and writer Satoko Okudera took what, at the outset, seemed to be the most foolish of paths, releasing Hosoda’s debut film head to head in Japanese theaters against A Wizard of Earthsea, the brand new (at the time) feature from animation titan Studio Ghibli, directed by the son of legendary animator Hayao Miyazaki. If ever there was a recipe for having your debut film crushed and ignored, this was it. Hosoda had a smaller budget, less publicity and worlds less recognition and so chances were good that his picture would simply disappear without leaving any trace behind.
But here’s the thing. Hosoda went out and beat the Ghibli giants at their own game. While Earthsea relied a little too much of flash and dazzle, Hosoda simply set out to tell a story and tell it well and audiences...

After you guys heartlessly ignored the TV spot for the upcoming anime Summer Wars I posted the day before yesterday, maybe you’re interested in this second, almost two minutes long trailer. I don’t have a friggin’ clue what’s happening after that strange meteor hits the countryside (does anybody here speak Japanese?), but I expected nothing but great things from Mamoru Hosoda and Satoko Okudera and pray for an early domestic release.

Natsuki’s family, the Jinnouchi clan, dates back to the Muromachi era (1336 to 1573), and they’ve all come together to celebrate the...

[See post to watch Flash video] Summer Wars will open across Japanese theaters on August 1st. The trailer shows the Warner Bros. logo in the beginning, so I hope the film will get an international release shortly.

The first footage of Summer Wars from Mamoru Hosoda and Satoko Okudera, the people behind The Girl Who Leapt Through Time has been captured during the still running TAF2009. Just as expected from a Studio Madhouse production, the whole thing looks very well done and promising even though I can’t get my head around some of the scenes…virtual Happy Tree Friends, wtf?
Let’s hope that the Warner Bros. logo at the beginning hints for an early release in the West.

TOKYO -- A movie about a time-traveling teenager took home the animation of the year award at the sixth annual Tokyo International Anime Fair on Thursday, while a Canadian production earned the grand prize in the open competition.
"The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" was one of 457 film shorts screened or distributed in Japan that was up for the award. Produced by Tokikake Film Partners, it tells the story of 17-year-old Makoto Konno, who can change events by traveling into the past.
In addition to winning the best film prize, "Time" also won the best director award for Mamoru Hosoda and best original story for Yasutaka Tsutsui, for a tale he wrote 40 years ago. It also earned a screenplay nod for Satoko Okudera, best art direction for Nizou Yamamoto and the character design prize for Yoshiyuki Sadamoto.
"I would like to thank all the people who worked on this title and gave us such great characters, story line and music," Hosoda said in accepting his award.
