Check out the trailer for Studio Ghibli’s ‘From Up on Poppy Hill’

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.

That Studio Ghibli game, Ni No Kuni: The White Sacred Ash is coming to America

We showed a trailer for Ni No Kuni before, possibly this same one, but I never actually expected that it would be coming to North American shores, but it is. The game is the first developed by Studio Ghibli, and is hoping to have the same sort of feel of a Studio Ghibli movie, only on an interactive level. 

Ni No Kuni is coming to the PS3 some time next year.

Scenes and trailers from Studio Ghibli movies re-created in Minecraft

The modders at Oz Workshop have achieved something remarkable: recreated something in Minecraft that is not mildly amusing, but genuinely awe-inspiring. They’ve produced in block form the most famous locations (and in some cases characters) from Hayao Miyazaki’s Studio Ghibli films, like Castle in the Sky, Totoro and Howl’s Moving Castle.
