505thAirborne Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 One of my friends just sent me this link, looks amazing! Quote
David Hingtgen Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Why hasn't there been a Miyazaki-Kawamori movie about planes yet? (Or have I missed it somehow?) Quote
Dynaman Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 I have liked everything he does, even the things I didn't think I would from the description of the show. Quote
Vespaeda Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Thus far, all we have that are remotely close upon such aerospace themes are "Wings of Honneamise" and "SkyCrawlers"--by Hideaki Anno & Mamuro Oshii. Does "Porco Rossi" count? Actually, I just Wiki-Googled "WoH" to verify the art influences. I was pleased to read a reference to a long-shelved sequel, named 'Blue Uru', to be tentatively set 50yrs afterwards and concerning [fighter] pilots; supposedly discussed at Tokyo Anime Fair by Gainax( Last paragraph on Wikipedia entry, Ref. [7]: 21 Mar '13, from ANN article ) Quote
Knight26 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 "The Farewell Masterpiece." Is Miyazaki retiring? Quote
Bariaburu Faita Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) "The Farewell Masterpiece." Is Miyazaki retiring? he "retires" after almost every major movie project he directs. http://blog.livedoor.jp/dqnplus/archives/1783936.html Edited January 12, 2014 by Bariaburu Faita Quote

505thAirborne Posted January 12, 2014 Author Posted January 12, 2014 Why hasn't there been a Miyazaki-Kawamori movie about planes yet? (Or have I missed it somehow?) That would be probably be the most epic thing ever in Anime, one can only hope! Quote
frothymug Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 I hope this releases soon. It would be great to see it with my aerospace engineering classmates before we graduate in May. Quote
F-ZeroOne Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Does epic aerosexual three-way [1] romance saga "Yukikaze" count? [1] The only anime love triangle ever between a bearded lady, a sentient fighter aircraft and a home decorator who just happens to be good at flying. Edited January 12, 2014 by F-ZeroOne Quote
David Hingtgen Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Personally, I see "flight" as a major theme in many Miyazaki movies. Just not necessarily airplanes/aircraft (though unconventional craft feature fairly often). Quote
CrazyDude Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Yes, flight is a common topic in his movies. Hayao was always intrigued with it as his family owned a shop that made wingtips for Zero fighters. Quote

TangledThorns Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) Is this movie as whimsical as Ghibli's last films? I could barely watch those. The only Miyazaki films I enjoyed were Nausicaä and Princess Mononoke. Edited March 1, 2014 by TangledThorns Quote
