Jrpg developer Level-5 has announced a sequel to its 2011 game Ni No Kuni. Here's the first trailer for Revenant Kingdom...
Level 5's Ni No Kuni was arguably among the most beautiful-looking RPGs of the last generation. With animation and character designs by Studio Ghibli, it offered a Pokemon-like game of familiar catching and training, married to a genuinely epic story about lost parents, enchanted kingdoms and evil witches.
It was a game so complete and unique that we didn't necessarily expect to even get a sequel, and yet here it is: Ni No Kuni II: The Revenant Kingdom. It's a PlayStation 4 exclusive, and looks subtly different from the last game; that adventure's young hero Oliver is replaced by a slightly older protagonist named Evan, a boy not quite ready for his role as king of Ding Dong Dell. Evan joins forces with a mysterious visitor named Roland,...

When Marnie Was There will be Studio Ghibli's last feature. We look at Ghibli's final films and what they mean for the future of animation.
If there’s one abiding message behind Studio Ghibli’s animated output, it’s that nothing is permanent. Happiness is delicate; summers pass; memories fade. But the brilliance of the Japanese animation house’s movies is that they find joy in the fleeting, not just melancholy. The encounter between two children and adorably rotund woodland spirits in My Neighbour Totoro is all the more special because it’s presented very definitely as a one-off: a chance meeting that can never happen again.
Studio Ghibli was founded in 1984 following the success of Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind, Hayao Miyazaki’s masterful, dazzlingly detailed sci-fi fantasy. From that point on, Miyazaki was established as the sharpest prong on Ghibli’s creative trident, the others...

Animation distributor GKids has acquired the North American rights to "The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness," a new documentary about the powerhouse Japanese animation shop "Studio Ghibli." Director Mami Sunada, whose 2011 documentary "Death of a Japanese Salesman" told the story of the illness and death of her father, was granted unprecedented access into the usually-insular Studio Ghibli. During her time at Ghibli, she followed three of the studio's most important men: legendary director Hayao Miyazaki, producer Toshio Suzuki and Isao Takahata, the studio's "other director" who has been the driving force behind many of Ghibli's non-Miyazaki hits. Sunada filmed for a year as Studio Ghibli raced to finish Miyazaki's "The Wind Rises" (Anne Thompson's interview with Miyazaki here, Studio Ghibli exec Jeffrey Wexler here) as well as Takahata's "The Tale of Princess Kaguya," both of which were released in Japan in 2013. "Kingdom" is screening today at the Annecy Festival in France and.

Set to visit 16 cities in 2014, Wizard World’s plethora of comic book booths, clothing vendors, and impressive line-up of celebrities are always enough to sate the appetite of any pop culture enthusiast, but prior to their visit to Minneapolis May 2nd–4th, I was wondering how much horror would be had in the aisles within the Convention Center’s cavernous confines.
As it turns out, Wizard World had more than enough entertainment for horror fans to dig into, and they picked the perfect horror headliner for Wizard World Minneapolis: Robert Englund, best known as Freddy Krueger, the living legend of our nightmares and realities.
One of my first destinations upon entering Wizard World Minneapolis was Robert Englund’s booth. I weaved my way through a crowd of eye-grabbing cosplayers—Hellboy, Darth Maul, and a perfectly matched Spider-Man and Black Cat couple were of particular notice—before stepping in line to...

Jeff Wexler, Chief of International Division at Studio Ghibli, oversees the process that takes each Ghibli picture – including their most recent, The Wind Rises – overseas and accessible to foreign audiences. Speaking to us direct from Japan, Jeff talks about sticking to the director’s original vision, casting stars like Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and how the studio’s newest effort sits with classics like Spirited Away and My Neighbour Totoro.
Can you tell us a bit about what you do at Studio Ghibli?
The studio creates films with the Japanese market in mind; they don’t adjust their films for foreign markets. So I get to see the film as the director wanted to make it for Japan, and we bring that film to other markets, staying true to the director’s original intent – which can be hard, because the Japanese language doesn’t really line up exactly with most languages, and...
