In 2010, Ni no Kuni: Dominion of the Dark Djinn introduced players to a world where Studio Ghibli's hand-drawn warmth met Level-5's heartfelt RPG design. In this episode, we explore how a studio famously cautious about video games found unexpected harmony with a developer that valued emotion as much as mechanics. We follow the project from its DS origins and physical spellbook to the deeper PS3 reimagining that blended animation, music, and storytelling into something that felt unmistakably Ghibli. Our conversation also traces the series' evolving identity through Revenant Kingdom and Cross Worlds, and how its themes of grief, courage, and kindness shaped its legacy. Join us as we journey through magic, loss, and wonder in Ni no Kuni on today's trip down Memory Card Lane.Read transcript

We dive into Clevatess, and we are start off by talking about we are blindsided in the opening and that sent us down quite a rabbit hole of misunderstandings about the king, the heroes and whether this was a noble legend quest or a disguised suicide mission. We spend a big chunk of time untangling and trying to figure out the lore together, along with what the king actually knew and why Clevatess wipes out the kingdom, what the four lords of dark beasts are really doing, and how Alicia's painful immortality and Naruru's reconstruction with Betty's body change the way we see power and sacrifice in this world. Along the way we call out moments we totally misread, and Rick talked about rewatching the final episodes till it finally made things click, kinda, and we talk through how the rapid fire twists, dense exposition and all to round it off with us talking about how it has a Ghibli style of visuals. And that is just what all we talked about. All in all this is a show that you should check out yourself.About the anime:Starting off like any other fantasy and in a world where humans and magical dark beasts are locked in a neverending war, you are introduced to the main protagonist along with several other heroes. Journeying to fight one of the 4 Lords of Dark Beasts. The catch though is that they are all killed almost immediately by the one they were fighting and that is Clevatess. As a result of Clevatess being attacked he goes and destroys the kingdom that sent the heroes after which he decides to take in and travel with a human royal infant, and to help him take care of the infant he also revives a former hero, thus forming a strange makeshift “family” all so he can decide on what he will do next.Next Week's Pick: "My Oni Girl"Have you had the chance to watch Clevatess or any of our previous selections?

Queremos dar las gracias a Maserati por apoyar a nuestro canal y además dejarnos este increíble Grecale Trofeo para crear este vídeo. Maserati. Solo pronunciar este nombre evoca un siglo de historia, el rugido de motores V8 en la Targa Florio, la elegancia de los diseños de Giugiaro y la gloria de la Fórmula 1. Pero, ¿es Maserati solo un glorioso pasado de museos y recuerdos? En este vídeo demostramos que la historia del Tridente no solo continúa, sino que está más viva y fuerte que nunca. Nos sumergimos en el increíble legado de la marca, desde el taller de Bolonia hasta el Mundial de Fangio, para entender el presente. Y el presente es esto: el impresionante Maserati Grecale Trofeo. Lo hemos probado muy a fondo, y sus 530 CV derivados del superdeportivo MC20 plantean la pregunta definitiva: ¿Puede un SUV transmitir la misma pasión que un deportivo legendario? ¿Sigue vivo el ADN del 250F o del Ghibli en un coche para el siglo XXI? La historia continúa. Un Legado Forjado en la Competición Para entender qué hace especial a este Grecale, debemos viajar en el tiempo. La historia de Maserati no arranca en un concesionario de lujo, sino en el modesto taller que los hermanos Maserati fundaron en Bolonia en 1914. Su pasión era la velocidad, y en 1926 crearon su primer coche propio: el Tipo 26. Ese mismo año, el Tipo 26 ganó su categoría en la legendaria Targa Florio, sentando las bases de la filosofía Maserati: innovación técnica para las máximas prestaciones. Fue allí donde lució por primera vez el icónico Tridente, un símbolo de poder inspirado en la estatua de Neptuno de la Piazza Maggiore de Bolonia. Los años 30 fueron de competición pura, con hitos increíbles como la doble victoria en las 500 Millas de Indianápolis en 1939 y 1940 con el formidable 8CTF. Pero la cúspide de la gloria deportiva llegó en la década de los 50, en la era dorada de la Fórmula 1. En 1957, el maestro Juan Manuel Fangio, al volante del legendario Maserati 250F, consiguió su quinto y último campeonato del mundo. Una máquina que, según el propio Fangio, "Sentía que podía hacer cualquier cosa con él". El Nacimiento del Gran Turismo y los Iconos del Diseño Tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Maserati aplicó esa filosofía ganadora a la calle. Con el bellísimo A6 1500 de 1947, la marca prácticamente inventó el concepto de "Gran Turismo" a la italiana: un coche que fusionaba las prestaciones de un deportivo con el confort, el lujo y el estilo necesarios para cruzar Europa. Esta saga continuó con obras de arte sobre ruedas como el 3500 GT. Y no podemos olvidar una de sus mayores revoluciones: el Maserati Quattroporte de 1963. Una idea radical que hoy es un estándar de la industria: crear la berlina de lujo más rápida del mundo, un coche con alma de superdeportivo y espacio para cuatro. Una filosofía que, como veremos, pervive en el Grecale. Prueba Grecale Trofeo: El Alma del Tridente Sigue Viva Tras una historia con altibajos, pasando por las manos de Citroën y De Tomaso, y resurgiendo bajo el paraguas de Ferrari, Maserati entra en una nueva era. Y el Grecale es su punta de lanza. En nuestra prueba a fondo, buscamos responder a la gran pregunta. Y la respuesta es un SÍ rotundo. El Grecale Trofeo no se siente como un SUV convencional. La posición de conducción es baja, la dirección es increíblemente rápida y precisa. Su suspensión neumática adaptativa es mágica: en modo "Comfort" filtra las irregularidades y es un coche perfecto para el día a día. Pero al seleccionar el modo "Corsa"... el Grecale se transforma. El coche baja, la suspensión se endurece, la respuesta del motor y del cambio se vuelve instantánea y el escape se abre para liberar un rugido glorioso, un sonido inconfundiblemente Maserati. Lujo, Tecnología y la Nueva Gama Maserati Por fuera, es un Maserati por los cuatro costados: la gran parrilla con el Tridente, las tres icónicas branquias laterales y los pilotos traseros que hacen un guiño al 3200 GT "boomerang". Por dentro, nos ha sorprendido la calidad de materiales, con una espectacular mezcla de fibra de carbono y piel. El salto tecnológico es enorme, con una pantalla superior para el infoentretenimiento y una inferior para la climatización. Y han mantenido un detalle genial: el famoso reloj central ahora es digital y puedes personalizarlo para que sea una brújula o un medidor de fuerzas G. Aunque hemos gozado con los 530 CV del Trofeo, este carácter se extiende a toda la familia Grecale, que incluye las versiones Mild-Hybrid (GT de 300 CV y Modena de 330 CV) y el futurista Grecale Folgore, el primer SUV 100% eléctrico de la marca con más de 550 CV.

Puntata a cura di UntimoteoFino a qualche anno fa, il nome di Isao Takahata risultava sconosciuto ai più, oscurato dal successo del suo più celebre amico Hayao Miyazaki. Eppure i due hanno tracciato il solco che, tra gli anni ‘60 e ‘70, ha trasformato l'industria dell'animazione giapponese in una fabbrica di sogni. Prima come maestro e allievo, poi come pari. Insieme fondano lo Studio Ghibli. E danno vita a un dualismo prodigioso in termini di qualità di scrittura e messa in scena: una vera e propria sfida tra titani. Oggi, grazie alla sovrabbondanza di contenuti e a piattaforme come Netflix, i film che Isao Takahata ha scritto e diretto per lo Studio Ghibli arrivano finalmente anche in Italia. Come lo straziante La tomba delle lucciole. Con un certo ritardo, anche il nostro Paese si appassiona a Isao Takahata: un genio, un ribelle, un regista scomodo, che con i suoi film punta il dito contro la progressiva disumanizzazione della società giapponese…“Animazione” è il format del podcast di Mondoserie dedicato alle diverse scuole ed espressioni del genere, dall'Oriente alla scena europea e americanaParte del progetto: https://www.mondoserie.it/  Iscriviti al podcast sulla tua piattaforma preferita o su: https://www.spreaker.com/show/mondoserie-podcast  Collegati a MONDOSERIE sui social:https://www.facebook.com/mondoserie https://www.instagram.com/mondoserie.it/   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwXpMjWOcPbFwdit0QJNnXQ  https://www.linkedin.com/in/mondoserie/

In this first pass, they lock in the opening 20 picks across adventure, animation, sci-fi, horror, and sports drama. Along the way they talk performance standouts, scenes that shaped their taste, and how future rewatches and listener votes could bump titles up or off the board. Timestamps and Topics 00:03:52 Big Fish and why it still wrecks us in different seasons of life 00:05:07 Hook as 90s Goonies energy and a Robin Williams showcase 00:06:49 Tombstone and the definitive Doc Holliday performance 00:08:13 Raiders of the Lost Ark and the problem of recasting Indy 00:12:52 The Prestige and discovering a top tier Nolan on rewatch 00:14:48 Interstellar nomination and why it grew with repeat viewings 00:17:12 The Shining as prestige horror and a genre pivot point 00:18:23 In Time gets discussed but does not make the cut for now 00:20:00 Across the Spider Verse moves in after a better audio experience 00:22:47 Planes, Trains and Automobiles lands as a comedy essential 00:24:43 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) and its surprising emotional weight 00:28:38 Studio Ghibli slot: Spirited Away talk and the case for Kiki's Delivery Service 00:30:24 Dune: Part Two enters as modern epic sci-fi 00:34:38 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and how the evolving list could reshuffle later 00:36:55 The Empire Strikes Back as the Star Wars representative 00:39:11 Jurassic Park and the marriage of practical and digital effects 00:41:02 The Iron Claw and a note on wrestling stories we will cover next 00:42:52 Superman (1978) closes the 20 with an all time origin story 00:48:27 Wrap up, what is coming next, and how listeners can influence the rankings The First 20 (Working List) Big Fish Hook Tombstone Raiders of the Lost Ark The Prestige Interstellar The Shining Spider Man: Across the Spider Verse Planes, Trains and Automobiles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) Spirited Away or Kiki's Delivery Service (Ghibli slot) Dune: Part Two Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 The Empire Strikes Back Jurassic Park The Iron Claw Superman (1978) Plus a few near misses and future candidates Key Takeaways This is a living list. Titles can move as we review more films and as listeners weigh in. Emotional resonance matters as much as craft, from TMNT's farmhouse sequence to Big Fish's generational pull. Genre representatives help keep variety, like Empire for Star Wars and a Ghibli pick for animation. Craft notes: Jurassic Park's blend of practical and digital still sets the bar, and Vol. 3 sparks a James Gunn redemption chat. Community plan: we will combine Frank's rankings, Thomas's rankings, and a listener ballot to shape the master list.

In this episode, Masie and Stuart take a boat to the fantasy lands of Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea book series for Studio Ghibli's 2006 adaptation titled Tales from Earthsea. Along with the director Goro Miyazaki, this film has quite a negative reputation among Ghibli's otherwise illustrious catalogue of animated productions. But does it deserve said reputation? Well, our hosts on their travels unfortunately find a film with a strong lack of visual identity and craft with a script that is... confusing to say the least. Tune into our hosts journey through turbulent waters as they discuss its strange adaptation decisions as well as how the film points to Ghibli's weaknesses as a studio.   Linktree: https://linktr.ee/cinema_bones Follow Us on Social Media @ Cinema_Bones on Instagram and Letterboxd for podcast updates.   Additional Reading/Sources: Interview with Toshio Suzuki about the Production of Tales from Earthsea Archive of Ursula K.

What do Studio Ghibli's Princess Mononoke and Japanese yokai have in common? A whole lot of wild spirits, messy gods, and deeper cultural roots than you might think. In this episode of For the Love of History, we dive into the myth and magic behind Hayao Miyazaki's masterpiece. From the terrifying boar demons to the haunting kodama, Princess Mononoke isn't just fantasy—it's drawing on centuries of Japanese yokai folklore, Shinto beliefs, and the eternal clash between nature and industry.

Stage Apart: My Neighbor Totoro with Tom Morton-Smith

All aboard the Cat Bus for a moving conversation about one of the greatest animations of all time – and the emotional madness of trying to bring that tale to the stage in London's West End. If you're in London at the moment, you need to see the current theatrical adaptation of My Neighbour Totoro currently showing in the West End. Produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company with puppet designs by Jim Henson's Creature Shop, this magical re-telling of the iconic Studio Ghibli animation was written by our guest today, Tom Morton-Smith – a storyteller whose past work includes Oppenheimer (not the Christopher Nolan movie, but an acclaimed stage drama) and Ravens, a Cold War thriller set at the 1972 World Chess Championship. Taking on Totoro was an undertaking as big and daunting as the titular forest spirit himself. Set in post-war Japan, Hayao Miyazaki's story told the tale of a father and his two daughters who move to the edge of an enchanted forest, to be closer to the hospital where the girls' mother is undergoing medical care. As uncertainty gathers, strange creatures reveal themselves to little Satsuki and Mei – leading them on an adventure of wonder and awe. In the spoiler conversation you're about to hear, Tom details how he translated that wonder and awe to the stage. He's also open about his persoal experience, writing the play amid huge change in his family life. The grief and loss – or potential for loss – that sits in the background of the Totoro story is something Tom was moving through himself as he sat down to pen this adaptation.We break down the tale's themes of environmentalism and the kindness we owe to each other. We also get into the darkness of Ghibli that is often erased or reduced in how the west talks about films like this one. Finally, we talk about “ma” – the Japanese word for “emptiness” – that Miyazaki fills Totoro with, and why it might just be the secret to the joy of this film, now more than ever, in a frantic, digital world.
