Tell me that is concept art, not how the actual movie will look?

That is beautiful. Especially like the moons reflection at the end.

The hell is wrong with you two? Looks fantastic.
For reference, this was the film's first teaser:

I like the art style. Too much of today's anime is the same exact look.

Apologies. I saw the post directly above mine and naturally my mind ceased into a state of confusion and your post was lumped in with it.
Interesting style - definitely looking like actual traditional Japanese drawings/paintings brought into animation.
Anybody know of the story? Possibly just a re-telling of "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter" or with Takahata's own take?
And yes, smh at the fucking idiots dissing this style.

Can't wait to see Takahata's last film. Been over a decade since Yamadas so it's a minor miracle he chose to helm this through to the end - he doesn't have Miyazaki's relentless work ethic. The contrast between the two teasers has me excited.
But the big question is where Ghibli goes now - this is Takahata's bow, months after Miyazaki's. Who takes the reins?

not kawaii would not bang 0/10
Yeah. I kind of wish an Amano style final fantasy would take cell shaded look like this. I think it suits his style best actually.
Will never happen though

I'm just happy we get one more film from him. It's been 14 years since My Neighbors the Yamadas.

It's very Japanese. I can understand why people think the animation style sucks, but you should study Japanese art history more often and I think you may appreciate this more.
Isao Takahata the last anime movie director worth a damn if he retires after this, which is really likely to happen since his even older then miyazaki then this will probably be the last good original anime movie we will ever see, which should be a fine swan song to the joke that is the anime movie industry.
I dunno, man. Hasoda is pretty good too.

That's gorgeous! Sadly, BassForever will probably come by to call it the shittiest looking thing since Kick-Heart.
I hope I'm allowed to say that. Please don't ban me.

looks like traditional japanese art that came to life.
I like the old Japanese painting art style.
When Hosoda passes for good it speaks volumes about how much a joke the anime movie industry is,the man got kicked out of studio ghibli for his lack of talent after they weren't happy with the level of quality of his work.
Untill hosoda fires his awful script writer Satoko Okudera he will never make anything decent.

I bet the more actiony parts are drawn that way to emphasize speed and motion.

If you like this art style, you should check out the short film Minding Your Own Business from the 2012 Anime Mirai shorts. Like Takahata's Kaguya, it makes use of a very sketchy, loose hand-drawn art style which accentuates the emotions present in the narrative, albeit in a different fashion and not to the same level of sophistication.
