Hayao Miyazaki’s new film Ponyo On A Cliff is about Ponyo, a goldfish who’s dream is to become human. She becomes friends with a little boy name S?suke. It comes out on July 19, 2008 in Japan…and probably about a year later in North America.
Thanks to the magic of YouTube, we finally get a look at some animation from the film:
I love anime. Specifically, series involving any of the following things: weird fantasy elements, super-powers, robots, aliens, wicked humor, crazy villains, horror, ninjas and samurai. I guess that means I like a lot of anime. I am pretty particular about the quality of animation and voice acting. If the character designs and animation quality aren't of über-quality, I quickly loose interest.The first anime-related series I ever watched was Battle of the Planets - otherwise known as Gatachman. The first true theatrical anime feature film I saw was Akira. My first exposure to manga was later in life when I read Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy.There are so many incredible elements of Japanese culture. Some of the most exciting to me are the style of design and storytelling. I'm a web designer & illustrator, and I find myself looking to Japanese design for inspiration all the time.Anime blogging has taught me even more about Japanese culture and anime than I ever expected, and I continue to learn more every week. In fact, I'd love to travel to Japan. Rachel and I hope to visit sometime within the next few years.
We may get ‘Ponyo’ sooner than you think. There’s already plans of bringing it over to the U.S. sometime later after Japan’s release. But yeah, it might end up being a year at the very most. ^^;
