Licensing News! According to a member of the AnimeOnDVD forum, UK DVD rental site Screen Select have listed the following titles for UK release: 801 TTS Airbats There don't appear to be any release dates for any of the above at present, and there are no details of who is releasing them, but it is likely that Outlaw Star and Jin-Roh will be from Beez and Blue Seed, Airbats and Legend of Crystania will be from ADV Films. More news when we get it. Source: AnimeOnDVD, Screen Select |

Yes, This is Another News Item About Studio Ghibli and Optimum Asia Play.Com have now listed several Optimum Asia releases of Studio Ghibli films for next year, several of which have not previously been announced. Here's a list: 27th February 2006 My Neighbour Totoro 10th April 2006 My Neighbours the Yamadas 1st May 2006 Only Yesterday This seems to confirm that the rights to Laputa: Castle in the Sky and Kiki's Delivery Service, previously released by Buena Vista Home Entertainment, and Princess Mononoke, previously available from Miramax, have been bought up by Optimum. It will also mean that the only major Ghibli works not to be confirmed for release in the UK are the TV movie Ocean Wave and the music video On Your Mark, here's hoping some of Miyazaki and Takahata's pre-Ghibli works are coming next!

Howl Film 2005 Review Hayao Miyazaki's latest epic, Howl's Moving Castle, is due to get a review on next week's Film 2005. Presenter Jonathan Ross is well known to be a fan of Miyazaki's works so it will be interesting to see what he will make of a film that has had mixed reviews so far. Source: Film 2005 |

More Ghibli for Optimum? We know it's getting to be a bit of an oft repeated news item, but the forthcoming releases of The Cat Returns and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind carry the strongest evidence yet of Optimum's future Ghibli releases. The DVDs both carry a 'Ghibli Collection' trailer reel which contains Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Laputa Castle in the Sky, My Neighbour Totoro, Only Yesterday, Kiki's Delivery Service, Porco Rosso, Pom Poko, Whisper of the Heart, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, The Cat Returns and Howl's Moving Castle. The inclusion of these trailers makes it look even more likely that they will be appearing from Optimum in the future, and it is also worth noting that My Neighbour Totoro looks like it has a new subtitle track which has been localised to the UK with terms such as 'Mum' instead of 'Mom'. The original English subtitle track was a transcript of the English dub rather than a direct translation, so any new subtitle track will be great news for UK fans. More info when we get it.
