The next Studio Ghibli animated film to be released in the U.S. is When Marnie Was There. It is scheduled to open on May 22. Studio Ghibli is always associated with fine work and this looks to be the same. Just the song that plays with the trailer evokes a specific mood. Check out the trailer through the “Catsuka” channel on YouTube:
Catsuka’s Tribute to Satoshi Kon
The website Catsuka has posted “A Tribute to Satoshi Kon”, a well known movie/anime director, on-line. The tribute contains photos of a variety of artists paying homage to Satoshi Kon. This is a French website, but they do have an English link which is linked below. I have also provide the French and Japanese links as well. Your library’s anime fans will like to view this and it will give you some talking points with them. Thanks to AnimeNews Network for the heads up and to all involved in the tribute great job one and all.
