One of the most famous anime film
studios, Studio Ghibli has just announced that they will be making their first
ever tv series, titled Ronja the Robber’s Daughter. The anime is based on
Astrid Lindgren’s children fantasy novel and will follow the adventures of
Ronja, the daughter of a robber, as she meets the residents of the dark pine
forest where she lives.
Ronja the Robber’s Daughter will
premiere in Japan on August 31st and will be directed by Goro
Miyazaki (son of famous anime director Hayao Miazaki and director of Tales from
EarthSea and From up on Poppy Hill).
"Studio Ghibli just announced its
first ever TV series, and even more exciting it’s an adaptation of a book by
Astrid Lindgren. “Sanzoku no Musume Ronja”, or “Ronja the Robber’s Daughter”,
will be aired in Japan starting on August 31. It is a coproduction with 3DCG
studio Polygon Pictures (known for animating some of Ghost in the Shell, among
others), to be directed by Goro Miyazaki. More details are forthcoming.
The story is of a little girl
named Ronja, the daughter of a colourful robber chieftain who lives in a castle
high on a rock in a dark pine forest. She gets to know the creatures of the
forest, meets another kid like herself, and questions her father’s life of
robbery.
As a fan of Studio Ghibli, and
someone who loves Astrid Lindgren’s book and the live-action film adaptation, I
cannot say how excited I am!
It will be interesting to see the
new route Studio Ghibli takes now that it is making TV animes."
