The ad campaign for the US English dub (there’s a UK dub as well) of Arrietty has finally begun. I saw the Japanese version of the film several months ago and enjoyed it enough that I’ll probably see it again once it is in American theaters.

It has now been announced that Studio Ghibli’s Ni No Kuni will be localized in North America for the Playstation 3, and I couldn’t be happier.

This existence of this game and this trailer are rather old news. However, it’s been popping up a lot lately on video game blogs, and we’ve never posted about it here.

Ni no Kuni is a video game developed by Studio Ghibli for the Nintendo DS and PS3. It has already been released on the DS in Japan, but there have been no announcements yet concerning localization. The same goes for the unreleased PS3 version. I really hope this game is as good as their films, and if it is, that it’ll come to the States.

Sweet documentary on the inspiration of the painted landscapes of Ghibli films, in particular “Ponyo on the Cliff”, “My Neighbor Totoro, ” “Princess Mononoke” and “Spirited Away”. You can find the other parts here. Apologies to those who don’t understand Japanese! :S

Check it out! Not to be missed for those lucky New York Residents.
