Anime fans have been buzzing about a possible foreign adaptation of director Makoto Shinkai’s hit.
Fans were treated to a first look at an image from the JoJo live action movie over New Year’s, but it seems the response wasn’t exactly enthusiastic.
Believe it or not, some people don’t like Makoto Shinkai’s newest anime, and one comment in particular has him feeling angry.
The anime event of the year is selling tickets in China even more quickly than it did in Japan.
No strings or CG here; it’s all science and craftsmanship.
The fate of Studio Ghibli may be in limbo, but Hiromasa Yonebayashi’s future is starting next summer.
Title and costume choices for the new anime point all the way back to the series’ beginning.
The Makoto Shinkai film now trails the monumental Disney hit, and is actually picking up momentum at the box office.
Why is Studio Ghibli located in Koganei? Why are there two girls in My Neighbour Totoro? When will Miyazaki’s next film be released? Toshio Suzuki answered all these questions and more at an event last night in Tokyo.
Only two Japanese-made films have ever earned more, and one of them is about to get knocked down a slot by Makoto Shinkai’s runaway hit.
Watching a film adaptation multiple times might not be the best way to financially support your favourite manga artist.
Clownfish belong in the sea, Nemo, not in the sky.
