New Studio Ghibli TV Series Coming Next Month!


Studio Ghibli, is releasing a TV series based on a Swedish fantasy book titled, Ronia the Robber's Daughter, or Sanzoku no Musume Ronja, in Japanese. The series is set to air next month during the Fall TV season. Unfortunately, as you can tell from the teaser trailer above, the animation is not going to be Ghibli's usual stunning 2D work, but rather mediocre cel shaded 3D animation, which is becoming all the more common. Hopefully the actual series will look better than this teaser, because a few 3D animated anime like Knights of Sidonia and Nobunaga Concerto have actually been very good. Animation aside, maybe Sanzoku no Musume Ronja will actually be good. Regardless, I intend to watch and review it along with the other series coming out this Fall. What do you think of the teaser and Ghibli making a TV series? Please comment below and let me know, and also check back tomorrow for my review of Noragami.

  1. A Studio Ghibli TV show!? YES! I will have to watch that, then! I agree, not a fan of the animation style, but hopefully it will look better when it's released.

    1. Other than the art style, I agree, this should be great! :D

  2. *intense screaming*

    The animation looks odd but if their characters and story division remain strong, I'll be more forgiving! Hope we hear more about the story soon!

    Thanks for linking to my post, too, I appreciate it!!

  3. I've heard this news before, but I didn't know that it was going to air as soon as this upcoming season! Another one to look forward too, then.

    1. Yep, only a few more weeks before the series premiere. Fall is going to be an awesome season with the Fate/stay Night remake, Psycho-Pass season 2, and now this.

  4. Totally agree with your comment about 2D vs. cel shaded 3D. Looks terrible in comparison IMHO, but the series teaser has all the ingredients of a solid Ghibli work - whimsy, excitement, and a little magic. Looking forward to checking this out!

    1. Definitely, the 3D animation looks terrible, and I agree that otherwise, it has the makings of a solid Ghibli work. Hope it does not disappoint!
