Is that the art style for the movie or just for the trailer?

 

[Chuck Norris]

Tell me that is concept art, not how the actual movie will look?

 

[leroidys]

Came for the Studio Ghibli, stayed for Nikaidoh Kazumi. Is that an original song for the movie?

 

[Flek]

wow thats really really ugly - what is this crayons?

 

[Sneaky Gato]

That is beautiful. Especially like the moons reflection at the end.

 

[Empty]

oh my god that's just stunningly beautiful

<3 takahata

 

[Lambtron]

People are seriously shitting on the art style of this trailer? Dear god. Give me this now.

The hell is wrong with you two? Looks fantastic.

For reference, this was the film's first teaser:

[Akahige]

Gorgeous animation

 

[Dresden]

Beautiful. This will be Konishi's masterwork.

 

[Jokergrin]

[hosannainexcelsis]

Uhh, my question wasn't putting the film down, learn to read...

 

[Here_Try_This]

I like the art style. Too much of today's anime is the same exact look.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Looks great. More variety, yes.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Uhh, my question wasn't putting the film down, learn to read...

Apologies. I saw the post directly above mine and naturally my mind ceased into a state of confusion and your post was lumped in with it.

 

[Dresden]

Might even be Takahata's too!

Possible, and certainly his last.

 

[MutFox]

It's cool, sorry for the "learn to read" part... ;P
Art style looks sweet too...

 

[Lynd7]

It looks incredible, I don't know how you couldn't think it looks amazing.

 

[Arde5643]

Interesting style - definitely looking like actual traditional Japanese drawings/paintings brought into animation.

Anybody know of the story? Possibly just a re-telling of "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter" or with Takahata's own take?



And yes, smh at the fucking idiots dissing this style.

Possible, and certainly his last.

wait, what, how? why? No......

WOW

 

[Kotetsu534]

Can't wait to see Takahata's last film. Been over a decade since Yamadas so it's a minor miracle he chose to helm this through to the end - he doesn't have Miyazaki's relentless work ethic. The contrast between the two teasers has me excited.

But the big question is where Ghibli goes now - this is Takahata's bow, months after Miyazaki's. Who takes the reins?

 

[Despera]

Looking forward to this. I certainly love it when they experiment with different art styles.

 

[leroidys]

I like the art style. Too much of today's anime is the same exact look.

not kawaii would not bang 0/10

 

[Natetan]

I like the art style. Too much of today's anime is the same exact look.

Yeah. I kind of wish an Amano style final fantasy would take cell shaded look like this. I think it suits his style best actually.

Will never happen though

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Possible, and certainly his last.

I'm just happy we get one more film from him. It's been 14 years since My Neighbors the Yamadas.

That looks much better

The stuff in the first post looked like an eye sore.

 

[tearsofash]

It's very Japanese. I can understand why people think the animation style sucks, but you should study Japanese art history more often and I think you may appreciate this more.

 

[Platy]

LOVED the almost experimental feel to the style.

Gorgeous stuff

 

[abadguy]

That looked gorgeous!

 

[HoJu]

I like it.

 

[Cwarrior]

Isao Takahata the last anime movie director worth a damn if he retires after this, which is really likely to happen since his even older then miyazaki then this will probably be the last good original anime movie we will ever see, which should be a fine swan song to the joke that is the anime movie industry.

I dunno, man. Hasoda is pretty good too.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Beautiful.

 

[Technosteve]

looks like an experimental student film.

 

[Secret Fawful]

That's gorgeous! Sadly, BassForever will probably come by to call it the shittiest looking thing since Kick-Heart.

I hope I'm allowed to say that. Please don't ban me.

 

[captainwhat]

looks like traditional japanese art that came to life.

 

[Cwarrior]

I like the old Japanese painting art style.

I dunno, man. Hasoda is pretty good too.

When Hosoda passes for good it speaks volumes about how much a joke the anime movie industry is,the man got kicked out of studio ghibli for his lack of talent after they weren't happy with the level of quality of his work.

Untill hosoda fires his awful script writer Satoko Okudera he will never make anything decent.

 

[naw]

art style is great

cool trailer

 

[Partial Gamification]

I like it.

Grave of the fireflies was powerfully beautiful, will check this out.

lol

 

[plasmawave]

I bet the more actiony parts are drawn that way to emphasize speed and motion.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

I like the art style. Too much of today's anime is the same exact look.

If you like this art style, you should check out the short film Minding Your Own Business from the 2012 Anime Mirai shorts. Like Takahata's Kaguya, it makes use of a very sketchy, loose hand-drawn art style which accentuates the emotions present in the narrative, albeit in a different fashion and not to the same level of sophistication.

 

[bomma_man]

god that looks amazing

 

[Foxix Von]

Oh, my God. That was gorgeous. Absolutely stunning work.

After those first few comments I was expecting something terrible, but whoa, that is absolutely marvelous.

Just wow.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

this is a trailer?

wtf

yeah wtf it didn't even spoil anything


looks beautiful, wow.

 

[zeroshiki]

This will most likely be Takahata's last work and unlike Miyazaki his retirement probably will not be met with any fanfare. Fair or not, due to output and mainstream appeal, Ghibli has always been recognized as Miyazaki's studio.
