Anyone heard of the newest release from Miyazaki, Howl's Moving Castle? I have tons of friends who are already obsessed with it, gathered info and all the fangirlyness. Its been previewed in Japan, and my friend told me its been previewed in Hong Kong already. I've already picked up the original book Miyazaki has taken the idea from -- Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones. Anyone know more information, or maybe going to be interested watching it when its licensed?
-
I can't wait till it gets to Canada. I'm a big fan of Miyazaki's works, and I can't wait!
I read the book a couple of years ago, and it was so awesome, truly a magnificent book, cant wait till it comes out dubbed/subbed for DVD. ^^
-
my friend has talked about this, i've never really known much about it tho,
but i am interested to see it :keke:
so we gotta wait *pouts* till it gets all the way over here.. and even longer to get here to the UK ... :shifty:
-
Yup, but I heard it's already dubbed, in fact, here's the trailer's website...at least where I found it ^^:

-
what's this about anyways.. i've seen a bunch of ads for it.. and i love these kind of movies.. hehe.. plus i have a bunch too.. *hugs dvds.. HAHA
anyone can give a summary of basically what the movie's about.. arigatou in advance XD
-
Okay, this movie is about a woman who gets into a curse by a witch. In order to make herself young again, she goes on a journey to go to Howl. That's the best I can give you withought spoilers. Of course, I posted the trailer, so I hope that helps too ^^
-
but that says its released in June, so its out already ?
sooo anyone seen it !? How Is it ??
-
Nope this June in the summer. So, next month we'll see it. The japanese version is out already, and I haven't seen it yet either. It wasn't on bittorent for some reason >.<
-
oh god yea... sorry.. i'm 17 and still don't know my months.. yea i'm thick :D
but it probably won't be on Bittorrent cos its not on DVD or anything yet, only Cinemas right ?
either way, it looks rather good ^_^
-
Yup it does, and I can't wait *squee*
It looks so awesome. And yeah, it's no problem that you forgot the month your in. ^^
-
I've seen the movie. The story was a little confusing when I saw it the first time. But I really like it especially howl and sofie. I also like Takuya Kimura's voice. Then I went to buy the book and discovered that the movie's storyline was quite different from the book.
-
Yup, there's always changes to adaptions. I for one am waiting for the movie when it comes in Canada.
How did you watch it pinklacus, is it out on dvd, I'm pretty sure it isn't, but I could be wrong
-
I've heard a lot of good things about this movie, and if Miyazaki's doing it, then it's gotta be good! I love the original book....but exactly how much of the plot got chnaged for the actual movie? Does anyone know?
-
I read the book, but I have yet to see the movie. I really want to see it though, but I'm not that worried by the changes, this is Miyazaki after all, the King of anime movies, so I think it will turn out just fine ^^
-
How did you watch it pinklacus, is it out on dvd, I'm pretty sure it isn't, but I could be wrong
The movie was screened here during March.
-
Really, lucky you. Canada didnt have anything like that. *ish jealous*
-
but exactly how much of the plot got chnaged for the actual movie? Does anyone know?
I think about 80 to 90% of the plot got changed for the movie.
-
OMG! I'm not sure I wanna watch it then, unless it had the same ending...but then again, Miyazaki, is very good.....
Anyone have nay opinions of theirown which could help me out?
-
The ending of the movie was almost the same as that of the book especially the last scene was quite romantic.
The movie focused on sofie's determination and courage to change her fate and break the curse. It also show how sofie influenced other people like howl and the witch.
The movie didn't talk much about sofie's sisters and howl's family.
-
lol. so did we visit the 'real' world with cars and yea. and did we meet that teacher? lol. i shouldnt be asking. itll spoil it for me.

I just watched the trailer for Howl's Moving Castle that was posted here and it looks really, really, good! It looks like this is going to be one of the best Miyazaki films yet! I love Miyazaki-san's works, so I'm really looking forward to this movie! But since this movie has already been licensed for the U.S., even if Howl's Moving Castle is released on DVD in Japan, does that mean there won't be any fansubs for it? I sure hope there will be because I want to see this movie so badly! I can't wait for the R1 DVD release! Maybe the R2 DVDs will have English subtitles on them, since I think all of Studio Ghibili's other movies have subtitles. It's a shame that this movie is only getting a limited release in U.S. theaters. Why can't Disney understand that anime is a lot more popular than it used to be and give these movies the proper theatetrical release they deserve? Spirited Away even won an Oscar despite the fact that it had a limited release, so why can't Disney give Howl's Moving Castle a chance with a U.S. wide release? Sigh, this movie most likely won't be playing in theaters around here. It's too bad too because this looks like such an awesome movie. Does anyone happen to have a list of which cities this movie will be playing at?
-
it seems the movie seems to be out on the 10th of June in the US. a little more than a week away ;_; yous are lucky. but i could watch it too... for Howl's Moving Castle is the closing movie for the Sydney Films Festival.
some official site links
http://www.howl.co.kr/ korean
http://www.bvi.com.tw/movingcastle/ chinese
http://www.howl-movie.com japanese
i didnt save the french site cause it was too stubborn and didnt lemme enter...
And Ruby Chan, the blonde haku is from this movie XDDD
-
He does look kinda like Haku...but not that much, so that's good. But on the Japanese site, the grey haired young gril in the beginning looks just like Haku!
This film looks great! I hope it comes out in the Uk!
-
It will come out in the UK, I have a friend who is in love with the book by Diana, a english author, so it will be aired there, at least, that's what my friend told me.
Howl does look like Haku a little, mind you, there is a hair color difference.
-
I love the book too...but the sequel was rubbish....I hope that doesn't get made into an anime movie too...
And I do get what you're on about with the Haku/Howl thing...I just think the grey haired girl looks more like him, LOL.
-
eh...? the grey haired lady? no way! but the boy with the star in his hand with bue/black hair is also howl. but then i guess you guys most probably already realised...
-
If you look at the japanese site, there's a young girl with grey hair shown as the opening loads...that's who I mean.
Just checking, the sequel ISN'T being made into a movie too, is it?

ME SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY IT'S COMING! I love the book so much and it'll be nice to see what the movies like, regardless of how different it is to book. I've been waiting for it since it was first annonced!
-
Actually, I don't know what I'm talking about, thought you were talking about Howl, but I guess...erm, nevermind, LOL?
Cant wait for the movie either! It really does look promising!
-
I loved this movie. It was amazing, just like all of Miyazaki's other works. It wasn't the best though. I think Mononoke Hime and Spirited Away are both better than Howl's Moving Castle. It has a confusing plot but the art is in Miyazaki's signature quality.
-
Yes, the art is so beautiful, not to mention the bgm and songs! Totally getting a soundtrack!
Spirited Away is my all time favourite film, I just loved it, it was so wonderful, and well, amazing in short, LOL
-
:sad5: The problem is that... I have to wait until September to see this movie! And I'm going back to school the very day it's coming out! It's such a sod's law, isn't it!!! :cry: I see what people mean about Howl looking a little bit like Haku, but I've been following this movie since there were only teaser trailers out... Like ever since it was annocenced! Like since 2002, after SA came out... *sigh* It took so long but it was worth the long long wait.
It's an honour to be able to say that the original story came from a popular British author ^_^ I'm glad Diana Wynne Jones liked HMC the movie, when you consider that the wriet of Kiki's Delivery Service hated her adaption.
I loved the book HMC, it always cheers me up when I read it!
-
isn't the movie out already? this past friday? :D.. cause i saw an ad on this anime site.. and there' s still two hours to finish dling the movie.. i've been waiting for quite a while now too...
-
Where can you get it?!
-
D/L?! Already?! But its only theatres right?
Where can I get it?!
-
Boxtorrents.com has a cam rip of the movie for download, but it's recorded from the movie theaters, so don't expect the best kind of quality. I haven't downloaded it yet. I'm going to wait for the DVD release.
-
i got the dvd.. XD but it's not original of course. but it's still good. and it's not the english version. jap and chinese i think it is. haha
-
OMFG, you do? *groans* I'm watching it in theatres this weekend -_-
-
haha i'll do one of my super detailed summaries for you fisah?? uh after exams and this weekend that is. HAHA i don't think i'll be watching it until next week.. :sweatdrop: busy busy.
O.O there's a book on this. whoo i never knew that.. HAHA!! stupid me.. i want to see the english version too.. XD
-
OH, you would? That would be awesome! *huggles lika-chi* WAI! Can't wait, especially since i can't go to the movies.
-
OMG!! this is one of my new favourite movies. it's SO GOOD!! i'm going to have fun on the summary. haha. XD
it wasn't good quality though. because they were filming it from the theatre and it's in chinese.. HAHA no english subs.. O.O i was like what the heck!!!!! haha.. yup yup. so when i write the summary.. it's not going to be that good. XD yup yup..
anyways.. o god. i love this movie. XD SO GOOD!! yes it is. from the beginning to the end it was amazing.. XD hehe.. i want to get the original.. the people in the theatre wouldn't shut up. i kept on talking to myself eh?? and yelling at the tv to shut up.. LMAO!! and it's a funny movie too. XD
summary will be coming up next week. i promise. and someone has got to keep on reminding me. XD
-
i saw a dvd copy of it in chinatown o.O for $15AU i think XDDD yup, its mandarin. i dont know mandarin. so i didnt buy it. and its available to be seen at the sydney film festival closing ceremony =DD which is the 25th of June
-
I was originally going to wait for the DVD release of this movie to watch it, but I couldn't wait for it anymore so I went ahead and downloaded a cam rip for it! Surprisingly, the quality of the file wasn't too bad for a cam rip. The camera wasn't shaky at all, there weren't lots of people talking in the movie theater, the picture didn't look too dark, you could see the subtitles perfectly, and if it wasn't for the few people who got up during the movie, you probably wouldn't be able to tell that it was even a cam rip! I'm still going to buy the official DVD for this when it comes out, though. I've only seen the Japanese version but I really want to see the dub. It looks very good from the trailer I saw! Anyway, Howl's Moving Castle has now become my new fav Miyazaki film! I just love it so much! The characters were all great, the story was awesome, the animation was incredibly good as was the music; I just couldn't find anything wrong with this movie at all!
Well, some stuff could've been explained more clearly but hey, it's anime! Since when has anime ever explained anything clearly? ^^;; And Howl is probably the hottest character to appear in a Miyazaki film yet! *drools* I don't see why so many critics are giving this movie negative reviews. Sure it isn't anything like Miyazaki-san's previous films but it's still a very good movie! A lot of critics thought the movie was too confusing but I didn't find anything confusing in it. It's just one of those movies where you actually have to pay attention to while you're watching it and I guess America just isn't used to animation being like that. Anyway, I loved this movie and I'm definetly going to buy the DVD for it! I also really want to read the book! Hopefully Walden's will have it and if they do, I'm definetly getting it! I hope this movie wins some sort of Oscar like Spirited Away did! By the way, does anyone know if this movie is going to have a soundtrack released and if so win?
-
my quality of the movie was great except all the people talking. just like yours the camera wasn't shaky AT ALL. it was really bright for a cam rip. i didn't even know it was from the theatres until someone started talking. no one got up during the movie either. which was great.
i haven't seen the jap version since mine doesn't have english subs. which sucks. i was stuck watching the cantonese one. it was still ok though. XD hehe.
HAHA howl was hot. ^_^ he was indeed.. everything was so cool about him. HAHA!! it was confusing?? really.. how?? i think i got the whole movie. it's still playing in my head. HAHA! even though i watched the cat's return right after it. ^^. i want to go get the book and read it now. must go to the nearest book store NOW!!
so i'm going to buy the original dvd when it comes out.. better be soon. and getting the book. YES!! the first book i have read in ages.. LMAO!
ALL of miyazaki's films are absolutely amazing. they should all win at least some rewards. XD
-
D/L?! Already?! But its only theatres right?
Where can I get it?!
sry for being late.. but.. i thought it was the subbed.. or the dubbed one.. but i guess i got the raw version! :D
http://torrentsearch.us/browse/anime-4100.php
well that's a place where i go when i take too long trying to find another kind of download.. it helps at times..
-
you can go to this website too.
http://tokyotosho.com
that website has ALL bittorrent from ALL websites. everything, i'm serious. from all lanuages. i believe i searched howl's moving castle yesterday. there was something. there's a subbed. i think. *thinks. don't really remember. go check it out though.
-
I checked tokyotosho, and alas, they only have the cam rip. I guess a raw, clean, version wont come out unless its in dvd format.
I can always go to theatres, but I'd really like the original. I mean, will they change the songs, will the voice acting suck, I really don't know.
But its better than nothing, right? ^^"
-
my cousin loves this movie.. I still have yet to see it. She has a huge artbook of howl's moving castle and a scale model of the castle,
I have to ask her where she got them
-
o.O whoo.. must resist urge to steal from your cousin.. AH!!!!!!!!! haha..
omg.. i want a figure of howl.. and sophie.. XD yup yup. must find and buy. without my parents knowing though. LMAO!
but must go and buy original dvd when it comes out and go to book store now to get book!!
i'm returning my dvd.. waste of money. going to get the original instead. maybe i should download the cam rip. since i haven't watched the jap one yet.
-
of course there is a soundtrack coming out! to be precise, a soundtrack, a single and an image album. its donloadable from somewhere... http://hmc.pitas.com/
-
whoo. YES thanks for the website. the music for it is cool too. XD hehe. i want to listen to eh image album the most. o.O
single and soundtrack?? what's the difference?
-
Single is the singers song with other songs that the singer sings, and a soundtrack, is for a movie or a tv show, and has songs from many singers ^^
That website pwns, but I can't download -_-
-
o.O i see now
yea that website is cool. but you can't download anything off it. no movie, not songs. -_- what the..

-

-
Yay! I've just bought the NEO mag, and it had a great poster of Howl's moving Castle in it! Now I wanna see it more than ever!
