Loving the family theme; reminds me of summer wars except on a smaller scale, I assume it will be more focused this time around at least, can't wait for Hosada to save anime.
I don't really think it's going to be anything like Summer Wars based on what Hosoda said. This actually sounds more like a Takahata Ghibli movie with fantasy elements than anything else. I hope that doesn't mean I'll hate it!
I like his movies more than Takahata movies anyway. So I'll agree!
Well, if it's anything like a Takahata project then my hype levels will go through the roof!
You disappoint me.
I couldn't find this thread anywhere -_-
Anyways...
So to add to this,

I don't have time to do the whole thing but this article talks about how Hosoda and Yuuichi Sato (producer for Summer Wars and Piano no Mori) built the studio and how they said it was "a very small studio, the best form to make good works"
They're still in the process of VA auditions with an eye on a summer release next year. They also plan on making the film festival tours.
Hosoda says that he likes kids and he got jealous of his friend who has kids so this movie was a way for him to express his love. (It's actually kinda similar to how/why Miyazaki makes movies about kids as well)
Anyways...
My penguin-bro, let me bring the great message to the world.
Director/Script Concept: Mamoru Hosoda
Script: Satoko Okudera
Character Design: Yoshiyuki Sadamoto
Animation Director: Takaaki Yamashita
Art Director: Hiroshi Oono
So it looks like Hosoda's new studio is confirmed, and Madhouse has another 10 nails in its coffin. Lol.

At least there is no Furries in New Eva Movie.
Hosoda > Anno. Real talk.

Still haven't seen Summer Wars. Really enjoyed The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.
That's a pretty steep price.
So he's a lolicon as well as a furry.
When is the last time Anno even directed anything that wasn't a retread of Eva?

Water is wet.
Totoro did not span 13 years.
Well obviously. I'm not saying it's going to be the same movie or anything. It's just the focus on a small family with two kids, and the rural setting in the image, plus the magical/fantasy elements that made me think of it.
I don't see any bulging muscles.
I'm sort some segment of the movie might have Totoro moments, but I'm going to say the tone and objective of the movie seems totally different from anything Totoro has. Remember, the main character here are not the kids, but the 19 year old girl who will grow up into a woman and a mother. She'll be 32 by the time the movie ends, and her kids will have grown up into their early teens.
I think you're reading too much into my comment, it was more of just a general feeling than anything analytical.

They haven't shown the dad yet.
Oh if you meant it was going to be a show with a loli and a shota, and there would be magical furry elements, then absolutely!
Of course.
I was also thinking about Miyazaki's early career at Ghibli and how he followed up a couple of big-scale films with a "smaller," more focused work, that still felt grand in scale due to his talent as a fantasy storyteller.
Basically just thinking crap out loud since it's months away and we know next to nothing about it so far.

Nah. It would be cool if Hosoda got to the point where he was on par with Takahta, but it's not like they're even that close stylistically.
As if differences in style ever stopped people from comparing directors.

Hosoda's Digimon stuff > Summer Wars

The movie will open in Japan on July 21 2012. The first trailer will start screening this month on the 21st, and it will also be on the official site. Sounds like we're all going to be certified furries by next week!

I agree.
How furry is this movie going to be? VERY FURRY.

Since I last saw this thread I read some Wolf Guy.
Duckroll, I need to start taking your advice seriously.

Can't say I didn't warn you. It's called experience. Others suffer so they can guide the innocents to safety.

I really liked The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, felt Summer Wars was decent... Rose tinted glasses for his Digimon stuff, I guess I'm kinda interested where he could take this. The wolf romance is just... Ack though. At least we might get some good looking wolf animation

Well, this is going to be awkward to watch.
I think what this show qualifies as will depend a lot on the mindset of the person watching it. Lol.
You shouldn't need rose tinted glasses for his Digimon stuff, considering it's his best work.
That last image is disturbing.

So is the trailer up yet?
This weekend. The screen grabs are from trailer footage that NTV exclusively debuted on their early morning talk shows this week.

im still interested in this as the family theme sounds great, but that last shot was just weird :x

What's more disturbing is she doesn't have multiple nipples like a real canine.
