The Studio Ghibli (JP) Discussion Thread

Just picked up my Porco Rosso from YesAsia. It came well-packaged in a sturdy box with lots of bubblewrap, and it's in mint condition, so I'm happy about that.
Also, I got the free white board...

Crap... that board is huge. Did you have to pay customs?

That board draws a lot of attention. Now I'm positive that I will get customs charges for the two items I ordered from them.

Nope, no customs. I've NEVER had to pay customs charges from YesAsia

Too true mate. Hahaha.

Looks like Tachinu had a very good opening at the cinema.

That would look really cool, but the silhouette has to be white, so the cover can't be white too (or any colour that is close to white).

They've already had a white cover with the Totoro&Fireflies combo.

Tachinu will get the very pale blue, pretty sure of it.

If you were referring to the colours on the picnic mat or on the white board, then they've already used the light blue for Kokuriko zaka kara. I guess they could go with an even lighter blue though. I'll try it out.

Have these for you so far:



I did two versions of Mononoke Hime as I couldn't choose between the two.

I doubt that they'll do a black cover for any of the films, but it does seem suitable for the silhouette I chose for Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi. I've purposely placed it as high up on the cover as I felt I could so as to make it look as though No-face is standing up and his body is hidden in the black.

Granted, the silhouettes of the second Sen to Chihiro cover and the Neko no ongaeshi cover are both experimental, but there is precedent as there have been a couple of covers before it that uses silhouettes that aren't actual silhouettes.

The Neko no ongaeshi cover is still missing the line of characters under the title present on the released covers. I assume that these say who directed the film. If anyone know how it should look on this cover, please post an image here. Thanks!

The Cat Returns looks pretty much like Laputa's colour.

Thanks! Those look amazing. I've replaced the other ones with these.

Laputa is much darker, at least on my screen (and to my eyes)

Time for me to get some new glasses then.

Laputa looks a little darker for me too.

Those looks nice! I do like the second Mononoke better.
Maybe they use pink on Kaze Tachinu, since the title is pink..
