From Up on Poppy Hill - English Trailer

In Theaters March 15, 2013

  • From Academy Award winner Hayao Miyazaki and director Goro Miyazaki comes this uniquely inspired coming-of-age story. Set in Yokohama in 1963, as Japan is picking itself up from the devastation of World War II and preparing to host the 1964 Olympics, the story centers on Umi and Shun, two high school kids caught up in the changing times. But a buried secret from their past emerges to cast a shadow on the future and pull them apart. With its rich color palette, stunning exteriors, sun-drenched gardens, bustling cityscapes and painterly detail, From Up on Poppy Hill provides a pure, sincere, and nuanced evocation of the past, and marks yet another creative triumph for Studio Ghibli.

        1. Kind of weird hearing this in English but I'm sure it will be decently done like a very good majority of the other English dubbed Ghibli works.

          Speaking of Ghibli, have you checked out the PS3 RPG game: Ni no Kuni? Here's the latest trailer:
