  • wish it could be made by myazaki senior not jr :(

  • @IshimoMaki It would have been so much better, but this is a hell of an achievement for a first time director. If this movie wasn't directed by someone other than Myazaki's son, it probably would have been better in the audience's eyes.

    I do agree though, the movie would have been better if directed by his father. But honestly, you can't beat Myazaki. I don't really even think that's possible.

    I have never liked anime. But I've seen 7 Myazaki movies, and glad to say I ended up LOVING all of them

  • It may be imperfect, but it's the best adaptation we're going to get.

    And yeah, I think they should've followed the books exactly.

  • Everyone don't suffer by watching it on YouTube! Watch it at veoh.com it has the movie dubbed and in full!!!

  • The song sounds so pretty.

  • I would love to see this movie ^^ I am reading the books right now and they are wonderful :D I already know that it is different than the books and that Ursula Le Guin was disappointed with it but I can't help loving these movies even if they don't follow the books as much as many would want (like Howl's moving castle for example)

  • omg i love this song can somebody please tell me the name and the artist?

  • what song is in this trailer.

  • 私は宮崎駿監督の作品の映画よりこっちのゲド戦記の方が感動しま­した!。

  • can you find this movie in youtube.,i want to see it so bad.

  • i love this, japanese animation industry surelly grows up. i love most anime producted by ghibli studio

  • Does anybody know where I can watch this? Is the movie out in the U.S.?

  • Yes, you can find it as Tales from Earthsea

  • @Tejina91 look for it at samgoody's they have alot of stuff.!!

  • does anyone know where to download video game trailers for free? Pm me if you do so!

  • what do you want video game trailers for?

  • this show is nice i watch alrady a long time ago

  • Show?

    No :D

  • this looks really nice :)

    like with the other studio ghibli films it looks like it has elements of japanese culture (scenery, animation, music etc) put into the film, but i dont think this will detract from it at all - its better that they made it original in some way while basing it on the books, than making some lame attempt at copying the books in every way.

    Even if this is terrible, it cant be worse than the sci-fi version.. that one just made me sick.

  • This movie is amazing, I must admit that every ending of a studio ghibli movie makes me depressed...... :( I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE! Don't trust those "worse director" or "worse movie" nominations, you'd be an idiot if you did! I watched it at Anilinkz ^^

  • @ Polkafroot it depresses u? they lift my heart! like princess mononoke everything was peaceful in the valley again and that lady stopped bugging the animals. then in castle in the sky they go off with each other and the tree is alive and thriving. in howl's moving castle sophie and howl kiss (which didn't happen in the book so was an added bonus). what about those seemed sad to you?

  • goro? cool.

    ya i really wanna c this!!! lol

  • Anyone know if this is out in Canada yet?

  • it should be.

    I don't live in Canada but its in my country (New Zealand)

    and we get like everything last.

  • This movie is called ;

    Tales From EarthSea

  • I can't wait for this to come out in America!

  • i am not gonig to lie, this movie made me feel fucking depressed.

  • wow this movie is in cinemax

  • wow i really want to see this.plus i love the song too..really catches my heart!

  • What island from the book does this take place? Not Gont.

  • Well this movie was a merge between books 1~4 (though mostly books 1 and 3, I think)... and in both books, Ged and Arren travel around, like, a lot.

  • This vid is awesome i love it.

  • Decent film for a first timer. The good thing is that he can only get better!

  • isn't it miyazaki's?

  • Yes, but it was made by Hayao's son Goro.

  • i honestly didn't think it was Miyazaki's, but by the same company that made his movies. i could be wrong though

  • its one of miyazaki's, i was wikipedia-ing him, thats how i got this :P he really makes awesome stuff

  • i heard somewhere that this is his son's work... i dunno where, but that sounds logical to me

  • Yeah, it's not Hayao Miyazaki's movie. It's Goro Miyazaki's movie. ^_^

  • it was made by his son Goro.

  • idk like its probably really good its just that it looks so sad so i dont think im gunna c it... =(

  • the trailer is 100% misleading

  • I am a tremendous fan of Hayao Miyazaki, and have all of his films. I'm really looking forward to seeing whether or not his son lives up to his father's majesty.

    私は宮崎駿監督の驚異的なファンですし、彼の映画を持っている。­本当に進むかどうかは彼の息子が父親の威厳の生活を見て探してい­ます。

  • ive borrowed the movie, but im trying to finish the books first. O:

  • I can't watch it online the quality is not that good. I'll have to download from torrents.

  • This movie was really awesome

  • omg i need 2 no wust the name of tat song!!!

  • i love the studio ghilbi movies. even though they're cartoons it has messages and it leaves me staring at the end credits and the blank screen when the movies end. <3

  • thi was such a beutiFul movie!

  • I really, really, really wanted to see this movie!!!!

  • The flippin' movie still hasn't come out in britain XP

  • Its has. I have it. Its called Tales of the Earthsea over here. I couldn't find the DVD for ages but eventually I found it ^V^

  • this movie didnt really make sense..

  • I love those kind of movies. :)

  • love the ghibli studio movies , i havent see this but i want to ahah anyways the song here is boring D:

  • ok! You moust see this movie!! I think this is better Spited away! =D

  • You really think so? This movie was a bit confusing for me lol

  • Hehe, yeah....I think so! ^^ Yeah, but stil good! x]

  • mmm.i watched most of the movie and think it wasn't as good as hayao's movies.The story wasn't AMAZING it was good.what may have helped it is 4 the movie to have a little more fighting,I mean when the main character got that blood thersty look on his face we only got to witness it like 4 times tops.The best part was probably when he chopped that evil sorcerers arm.The dude sparrowhawk didn't even slash out any really kl spells! (But thats probably just me,every1s entitled to their own opnion :P)

  • Somehow, these look like scenes from bible stories.

  • Remind you of that show SuperBook?

  • the music is beautiful =)

  • Ohh, I heard about this one. Isn't it based on Ursula LeGuinn's (is that how you spell her name? +.+) 'Earthsea Quartet'? Well, that's what I heard anyway. xP

    But besides that, this looks really really good. 8D! I'm going to have to watch it now. xDD;; Thank you muchly! :D

  • there is also a fat lady holding a cloth that looks like the wich from Howls Moving Castle!

    I F!@#ing love the Ghibli movies!

  • You mean the person who looks like Jigo? Then again, Jigo looks like Nanny/Granny from My Neighbour Totoro!

    I still want to see this film, though. I mean, I enjoyed Dune and that was amazing in everything BUT the storytelling.

  • Dude, when the guy was pulling that animal, the goat or deer, it reminds me exactly of Princess Mononokoe. It even has a guy in there that looks like another guy in Princess Mononokoe.

  • um...that may be, but remember the deer looked totally different

  • THIS MOVIE IS CALLED "tales of the earthsea" AND IT WAS POSTED IT ON YOUTUBE ON THE DAY IT WAS RELEASED SEARCH IT IT IS STILL HERE AND IT ISNT A DUB

  • ok ok it looks cool but when the F#%$# is it cumeing out in the USA .... plese do tell !!!

  • Well it's out in the UK now and i'm so getting it! So i'm not sure if that means it will be out in the USA also

  • dude its on youtube for the past 4 months its english name is "Tales of the earthsea"

  • must be out by now. I just bought it yesterday and I'm in the UK.

  • for Goro's first try i think he did a very good job, and as LoMXD said he'll get better as time goes on. btw 5/5

  • looks nice

  • love this flim iv whach it lots of times i have got the dvd lol!!!nice vid ^_^

  • this is so sad.. The author sits on her books for the longest time cause she was afraid a movie would ruin them... but after watching ghibli's works (The father) she let's them make this. The father was like....Goro, your not ready...but he goes ahead anyway..Then the son totally changes the story and betrayed Ursula K. Le Guin. I saw the interview after the movie came out, she was pissed! Read the books! Forget the movie!

  • I must say that their styles are very similar, though

  • so what don't watch it and or guess what maybe has nothing do with the book since its a movie and your little problem is solved. I think time for you grow up if you think this is really so sad.

  • Yes cortezawwris, you are so correct. A persons' lifework being betrayed is nothing to be sad of. How silly of me. Maybe someday I will grow enough that I won't feel the need for feelings. What this world needs is more jaded adults!!!

  • but it doesn't excuse you for insisting not to watch this.

    you can watch it, and read the book. And form your own option.

    I enjoy both, obviously the book has more depth, but the anime was great in it's own way.

  • Yes, I can read the books, I can watch the movie, and I can state my opinion that the movie is not worth remembering and suggest to others the same. I don't need your excuse to do so, any more than you need to agree with me. (I never told anyone not to watch, so it might be better if you read the comments a bit more carefully before you try to spin a persons' opinion. Your claim that I was "insisting not to watch" is a falsehood.)

  • umm, eth1999jp, could you think you could tell me what the original storyline was?

    anyway, i thought this anime was amazing

    many people have underrated it

    it is his first film, so dont expect it to be the best thing ever

    i must say, personally, it is amazing =]

  • I agree with his Father, he wasn't ready, sure he completely changed the plot to Howl's Moving Castle, but hell, he made it better, Diana Wynne Jones loved it! Goro didn't do as good a job on tales of Earthsea, he didn't do the books justice. It was a bit of a dissapointment for a Ghibli

  • I love the movie and the books. They're awesome :3

  • The movie does look beautiful, but I've been reluctant to even rent this movie because of the poor reviews the movie had and the fact that it was directed by Goro Miyazaki, a guy who was ill-equipped and reluctant to the task at hand. This golden movie may just be pyrite in disguise.

  • good metaphor, Gold > Pyrite

  • i love studio ghibli, i have most of there DVD's :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D­:D:D:D:D:D

    princess mononoke is the best anime ive seen so far...

  • Miyazaki's son's work seems good.

  • Miyazaki's son will never be like his father. Ther is not (and there will never be) art work like Hayao's.

  • Agreed

  • Did you ever do anything perfect on your first try? I'm sure he'll get better in time. First time thigns are never really perfect

  • if only scifi would get off their high horse... and give up that liscence for that watered down live action Earthsea miniseries. what's the point of holding onto a "monopolization" liscence on a miniseries that did so badly

  • ghibli always have the best anime...love these productions! I still like "Howl's Moving Castle"!

  • omg! i wanna see this movieXD

  • beautiful.

  • Where cn you gets the song!

  • what's the title of the song plz!!!

  • Therru no uta is the song name...

  • Wow that was realy anticlimactic music...If you just play it with any other song off ur itunes it doesnt look half bad... :)

  • hey what is the name of this song being played i really love it

  • Artist - Aoi Teshima

    Song - Teru no Uta (Song of Teru)

  • this is so beautiful.

  • Yeah so this might not be released in America until around 2009 because apparantly Sci-Fi Channel has a mini-series called Tales of Earthsea, the way things are going now it can't be released with that Title in America until Sci-Fi Channel's rights to the name Tales of Earthsea expires.

  • I can't wait!!!

  • Hey you guys! If you want to know where you can watch Tales from Earthsea with english subs, message me! I just watched the whole thing online and I thought it was a decent movie.

  • really ? were i woulld love to see it

  • in 2 hours i'll watch the movie in a german cinema xP

  • The movies from Miayzaki ( did I spell it right ? XD )

    are crazy but really goodHmm i want to know the release date oO

  • I saw this film last night with English sub and it was great however I don't think kids would enjoy this film much because the pace is really slow but retains it retains a great deal of meaning. Saw it in London

  • I have this vid. o:

    with english text.

    And I'm from Norway. Mwaha [X

  • Way to pirate..although I hope you buy it. (XD rhyme)

  • I bouhgt it o:

    With cover an all things. Yay!

  • yo quiero verla luego! miyasaki es excellente y lo llevo en el corazon!

    i can not wait for see this film!

  • is is just me or does this song really remind me of Flower of Love by Yae from FF:CC o_o strange...

  • The music is pretty, but the movie just looks okay. I still want to see it though. Gotta wait till 2009 :(

  • Why 2009 to watch it? :O

  • Because in the USA it won't be released until like 2009 because of some law.

  • I heard the same thing. Something about the Sci Fi Channel owning the rights to Earthsea related materials in the US. Of course, we all remember what excellent use they made of it -_-"""

  • dude... just watch it online..

  • when is this coming state side?

  • weeeee i watched it in China but it stil had english subtitles woohoo

  • woo junichi okada voices the prince!

  • The song playing is called "Therru No Uta"- Aoi Teshima. =P

  • Haha, it will be shown in September 2007 here in Finland. Poor american guys.

  • looking forward to seeing it.

  • Really? It'll come to britian first??? Usually, American have everything shown before it come here....I can't wait when it comes out! ^_^ I love you Ghibli!

  • i think the date 4 this movie is like 2010 or sumthin. its legal crap about scifi n their vrsion. believe me that version SUCKED!

  • I am searching for the movie at least with english subtitles and I am so pissed of that I am not able to find it anywhere.

    If anyone can help me.

    It would be perfect in English or as mentioned before in Japanese and with English subtitles.

    I am not ready to wait until its final release in Austria.

  • I doubt you could find it, unless you got lucky and found a fan-sub. It's not out in English speaking countries yet but it is supposed to be released in Summer of '08 here in America.

  • Oh, sorry, I was thinking of Miyazaki's new movie that's coming here in '08.

    There isn't a date for THIS movie to come out in America, though it seems UK and Australia all have it coming out real soon for them.

  • damn. Thats kinda stupid.

  • Once it releases in UK pretty soon, you might be able to find it from a British site or something. I'm sure they'll bring it to America eventually.

  • thx hopefuly that will even happen.

  • I read from somewhere that there is some kind of copyright issues related to Earthsea books in USA that prevents them from screening Gedo SEnki before 2009 or even 2010.

    Seems that most of the world is getting this movie in late 2007 or early 2008. Odd.

  • amazing song!!!!

  • Isn't that supposed to be "Lawyers, Guns and Money"? ^^

  • WHOO!!! Sorry to Americans on YouTube, but the film is being released in the U.K summer 2007!!! Yeah!!!! Beautiful Song

  • Screw your movie; weve got guns and money!!!! lol jk I want to see it T_T

  • Althrough I sadly didn't understand the words of that song it was truely beautiful, and I don't say that often.

  • whan I was in thailand last year, They had a 30 minute program on NHK world about the production that went into this film. I think it was right before it was released in japan. it looks stunning.

    and for one of the posters above, Cat returns wasn't a miyazaki movie. it was a ghibli movie, but it was directed by Hiroyuki Morita :3

  • Can't wait for this to come to the U.S. Wonderful trailer! Video & Song sounds haunting...

  • it's chills-inducing that's for sure.

    or am i just lame?

  • NO! U r a fag!

  • suck my balls you bitch.

  • this trailer's almost tear-inducing.

  • it looks really beautiful. i just hope the story's good. i loved spirited away and howl's moving castle, but the cat returns was a bit of a dissapointment.

  • guauuuu... this looks amazing, I love everything of Hayao.... and probably I will love everything of Goro... I hope this movie come to Latin America soon, at least to U.S.A....

  • i lovethis song. i dont care if i cant understand it. it suks that its being released in 2007. stupid sci fi channel. watchd theyre versiona dn it suks

  • does anyone know were to downlaod this?

  • What is this song? It's so amazing.

  • It's called "Teru no Uta" (Song of Therru) by Aoi Teshima.

    She also does the voice of Therru and sings this song in the movie, although in a cappella form (without background instruments).

    If you like this one, find "Toki no Uta" (Song of Time) too.

  • Oooh, thank you. ^-^

  • love the song...want to watch the film

  • Me too...if you live in America a region 1 DVD will not be out till 2009 because of issues with the Sci-Fi Channel's copyright (those jerks).

    Summer 2007 for a subtitled UK and Australian DVD.

  • Hmph. Goro is a GOOD director. Damn Ursula. Just kidding. Anyways, I also heard from about 5 people this movie is bad. But still its GHIBLI MOVIE!

  • iono if ghibli films can b bad. ive seen like all of em and theyre all SO GOOD

  • does anybody know whether this film is worth watching?

  • NO! It's terrible, it sucked. Waste of 800MB :p

  • i wanna see it but teh names actually tales FROM earthsea

  • Wow after reading all the comments I suppose no one here read the book series. -_- It's a good movie but very inaccurate to the books.

  • ive read the book series.

  • Usula K. Leguin actually rejected the idea of making her story/book (haven't gotten the chance to get the book yet), she finally gave in and they had to change some stuff.

  • I've read all the books, I dont think they are anything special

  • True, but most likely because you've read all the stuff that's in them before...in newer books. I will admit, there's a lot less tension in them than say Eragon or Harry Potter, but there's a certain something about them that really makes them stand out as classics. Afterall, these books are probably older than your parents and are still read often enough.

  • Harry Potter is older than my parents are ?

    Hui oO

    I missed something

  • No, no! The Earthsea novels are probably older than your parents. Even then, I'm probably mildly exaggerating, if not by much. I know for a fact that the first book of the series is about two years older than my dad!

    Excuse me for causing confusion. Not only was I unclear, but I was also making a generalization far more broad than I should have. But I hope you do get the point I was aiming for.
