i love learning that Beautiful Dreamer has a substantial non-UY fanbase!! i adored that movie in my teen peak anime fan days, but always figured it might be fairly impenetrable to the uninitiated.

in both those cases the director was very involved with the parent TV series though so like, the established thing that the movie is diverging from is also theirs
― ciderpress, Thursday, 28 April 2022 14:59 (two years ago) link
That's true, and from what I gather Oshii did get experimental with a few UY episodes before Dreamer came out. He did keep the characters true to themselves, and put them in a really surreal and bizarre story; in contrast, I have come across some complaints that Lupin and co don't actually act very much in character in Cagliostro. I can't really comment on that as I've seen very little Lupin media in general, except for a few episodes of that recent-ish Fujiko Mine series which looked cool, but which I couldn't really get into.

oshii’s patlabor 2 is another good example of this (worked on the series, took the movies in another direction but stayed true to the characters)

patlabor 2 also has this amazing meta-layer where it's like interrogating the original ova as a text

i gotta say i watched a lot of lupin when it was on adult swim and the characterizations in cagliostro never seemed that different to me
watching ponyo again, sorry to the the losers and the haters

New Miyazaki film out next July!
The new feature film from director Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli has been announced! HOW DO YOU LIVE (tentative title) opens in theaters in Japan on July 14, 2023. https://t.co/fHnLM6epTS— Studio Ghibli (@GhibliUSA) December 13, 2022

As briefly noted here Thank the boiler man, you idiot, for this Studio Ghibli thread
― Piedie Gimbel, Tuesday, 13 December 2022 15:09 (one year ago) link
HBO has the Japanese and western versions of these...I was switching back and forth watching Ponyo last night, and it's crazy that even the score is different, I'm pretty sure? In the English version it seemed much more overbearing and Copland-esque in many scenes.

That article is filled with the same kind of reductive nonsense that treats animation like a genre instead of a medium. It doesn’t offer any insights into Miyazaki or Ghibli; if you’re looking for those, read British film historian Helen McCarthy’s work
― beamish13, Thursday, 13 July 2023 17:17 (ten months ago) link
Have read McCarthy and she's doing something a bit different.

My goal right now is to avoid reading anything about the new film until it comes out in North America.

If this is really the final Miyazaki film (and I feel like he keeps saying that and then making another one), I'm glad it has weird gloopy creatures and odd old women in it.

I'm happy to have more, but yeah, hasn't he been saying this for years? Apparently he's already pitching new ideas:
Hayao Miyazaki might not be done making movies.On a red carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival for the director's latest film, The Boy and the Heron, Studio Ghibli executive Junichi Nishioka told CBC's Eli Glasner that the animation stalwart is still hard at work."Other people say that this might be his last film, but he doesn't feel that way at all," said Nishioka through a translator."He is currently working on ideas for a new film. He comes into his office every day and does that. This time, he's not going to announce his retirement at all. He's continuing working just as he has always done."

Don't want to say much about it, but the animation is incredible.

Deservedly. A lovely watch, very slow burn in ways but that makes its success all the better. Was able to catch the subtitled version but heard good things about the dub, which has a lot of veterans of previous Ghibli dubs.

I've seen this twice now: once dubbed and once subbed. It's hard for me to articulate the way this movie hit me; I am just grateful to live in a world where it exists.
