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?

When her leathery, crow-footed face turned towards my raised hand and said, “Yes, the boy in the Sailor Mercury t-shirt,” I sprung into action. It took me a brief 20 seconds to acquire the bokken (wooden sword) I had secured to the underside of our chairs with duct tape the night previous. Shouting “Japan BANZAIII!” in the manner of those noble kamikaze pilots from the War of United States Aggression (so tactlessly referred to in your history books as “World War II”), I charged the stage, bringing down the bokken forcefully onto the plywood table in front of Tiffany Grant. It was a tragic mistake not to channel my ki correctly. The bokken splintered into a thousand pieces, leaving me with no other plan of attack besides shouting, “You’re no Asuka!” as two Ohayocon toughs escorted me out of the room-SomethingAwful.com

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.

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?

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?

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!

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.
