Only Yesterday is the only Ghibli film that Disney has the rights to yet doesn't plan to release on DVD since they feel it's too "adult". So be sure to vote for it for home video release on this page!
But just to be safe, make sure you tape it off of TCM tomorrow night.
Nice having access to US cable, isn't it?
I was all set to watch Porco Rosso for the first time and the day it aired I completely forgot. I only caught the last 10 to 15 minutes. 🙁
Starting to despise you, my liege. ======================>
Never heard of it, but what's so adult about it that they refuse to release it? I mean Grave of the Fireflies had some gruesome scenes in it.
Is the main character a homicidal hooker or something?
Apart from some menstrual references, it's not mature in content, it's mature in theme. The film is targeted mainly at adult women and, unlike pretty much every other Ghibli film, can't conceivably be marketed towards children.
And I don't have access US cable; TCM is available in Canada. However, we didn't get Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away for some reason, and ALMOST didn't get the other Ghibli movies.
i'm still waiting for them to release my nighbour totoro over here.
i've only got a very bad copy of it along with porco rosso on a tape when it was played on tv over here sometime in the 90s. it's so chewed up it's impossible to watch. ^.x;

Shameful. Porco Rosso absolutely rocks.
As for Only Yesterday, I'm gonna try and see it tonight or record it on tape so I can see it later.

Not long to wait now, Becca. Just a couple of months.
really? good news then, as my mum has been begging me to find her a DVD copy of that anime for years now. ^-^
my mum is going to be over the moon with delight, thanks!
Seems like every Studio Ghibli film is finally lined up for UK release.... except possibly Pom Poro, where I can't remeber if it is or not.
No sign of a decent Castle in the Sky subtitle job, though...
Pom Poko's on that list. 🙂
