Studio Ghibli have announced that their next Blu Ray release will be 1992’s Porco Rosso, and will be available in Japan from July 17th 2013.

So this came in the post from Japan earlier today ^_____^ It’s the Special Edition of Tales from Earthsea, and it is rather sexy I must say <3 It’s always a great start to the day when you get a parcel through the door with lots of funky Kanji on it, hehe ^______^ xoxox

Oh, and only a few more of the Japanese DVDs to get, until I have the whole set, YAY!!! Then on to the Blu Rays ^____^ x

I’m in a good mood today, can you tell? <333

It has been confirmed that “Kyoshinhei Tokyo ni Arawaru (Giant God Warriors Appear in Tokyo”, a live-action Tokusatsu (special effects) short created by Studio Ghibli and originally screened in theatres alongside “Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo” will be included on the “Evangelion: 3.33” Blu Ray/DVD released on 24 April 2013.

“Kyoshinhei Tokyo ni Arawaru” (Giant God Warriors Appear in Tokyo) is a 10:07 minute Tokusatsu short created as a promotional piece for the “TOKUSATSU Special Effects Exhibition” at the “TOKUSATSU Special Effects Museum”, which has Anno Hideaki (Eva’s director) as the museum’s director. Studio Ghibli’s managing director, Toshio Suzuki, proposed it to be shown with “Evangelion 3.0” and Anno Hideaki agreed. The short features the “Kyoshinhei” (Giant God Warriors) from “Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind” and was made to show the fascination and the fun of miniature Tokusatsu.
