Can we safely assume these are in Japanese with subtitles? I imagine so but there isn't much info on that page!

I can't imagine why the Japanese audio wouldn't be on the disc.

I'm actually just new to this whole thing so I have no idea what happens when japanese stuff gets localized (minus some old ghibli films which I feel like they didn't come over with original language options?)

Very early Ghibli releases (Pre-2000) did not have the Japanese track, but after massive backlash against Mirimax in 2000 when they planed to release Princess Mononoke on DVD without the Japanese track, as the DVD had yet to be released in Japan and they feared importing from the US. There was a sizable campaign and they eventually gave in and released it with the Japanese track. And I think even those pre-2000 ones were all VHS releases and that Mononoke was the first Ghibli DVD in the US.

Other than a few shows that hit US TV's edited (like Card Captor Sakura), there really hasn't been an issue of any company trying to release somethgin without the Japanese track.

A couple sites are reporting a slightly delayed release date, from November 12 to November 26. But hey, after this long, what's a couple more weeks?

The English-dubbed version of the movie is finally having a proper non-festival, non-anime-event limited theatrical run in Los Angeles for one week, starting today, September 27.

Additionally, people anywhere in the U.S. can try to get a local screening through a Kickstarter-like platform called Tugg.

The Tugg, Inc. platform allows users to create a Tugg event in their city of choice and share it via social media. The film only screens (and participants only charged for their tickets) if enough tickets are reserved.

The screenings page on Tugg is now live with the first submissions:

If you have a local theater that would be willing to screen it, you can submit it yourself and try to get enough tickets raised for the screening to be approved.

Rightstuf has the Blu-Ray on pre-order for $21. Quite a bit cheaper than Amazon.

I actually got my bluray from them today! Can't wait to watch it, been dying to see this for so long!

 

[rockmanjoe]

Amazing film. Beautiful and very moving. Summer Wars is still my favorite of the 3 (and my favorite anime movie, period), but man, this one still delivers. Can't wait for Hosoda's next film.

 

[WrenchNinja]

I just saw this recently. Really enjoyed it, but I really think they should have aged up the kids

Spoiler

to high school or University age near the ending.

This is a thread I don't mind one bit seeing back on the first page. Brilliant movie, I don't think I watched a better one last year. So damn good.

You guys can vote for Wolf Children in NeoGAF's Anime of the Year thread.

Oh man the kids in this were really cute.

Good movie.

 

[omg_mjd]

Just saw it. Manly tears were shed.

And because of the dad dying early, for the rest of the movie it felt like none of the other characters were safe. The scenes with Ame in the river and Hana in the mountain were harrowing.

 

[UberTag]

Watched Wolf Children for the 2nd time this past weekend.
Mike McFarland did a stellar job directing the dub... as he did with Summer Wars.
Colleen Clinkenbeard (Hana) and Jad Saxton (Yuki) were notable standouts.

Saw it. Did not like it. No tear was shed.

Pretty animation, but the story and characters did nothing for me. Was not involved in any of it. I generally don't like anime though (there's only very few that I have found to be really good). I keep watching to see if one will surprise me.

Try Redline.
