Posted by husky51 on 08.01.2021, 11:27 PM: OK, I think that I know the answer, but is "Earwig and the Witch" the same movie as "Aya and the Witch"??? I've seen the covers for each and the artwork appears to be identical...

Posted by arren18 on 08.02.2021, 06:07 AM: Haha, yes it is the same thing. Earwig and the Witch is the title used in English-speaking countries and is the name of the original book too. I usually just call it Aya and the Witch (based on the Japanese title) because that's the name that was used when it was first announced.

Posted by husky51 on 08.10.2021, 10:07 PM: Found a new Ghibli version of "Earwig and the Witch" and was able to watch it at home today...

Posted by arren18 on 08.11.2021, 02:27 PM: I'm glad to hear you got to see it! My hopes of catching it at the cinema with the original audio came to nothing, so I'm still waiting for a chance to watch it. Apparently it'll be out here on DVD and Blu-ray at the end of September, but I hope it'll appear on some kind of streaming service before that. How did you see it, husky?

Posted by husky51 on 08.11.2021, 09:40 PM: It was a Ghibli DVD-BlueRay release that I bought on E-Bay... It was a sealed case... |
Posted by KaliAce on 08.17.2021, 10:33 AM: Lucky you, I thought the DVD Blu-ray will be released by end of September? |
Posted by arren18 on 08.31.2021, 04:01 AM: It sounds like the US releases are already out, but other places are still waiting for it.

Posted by arren18 on 01.13.2022, 05:25 AM: Alright, I finally got to watch this! I found out it was on UK Netflix after all, and then I was about to watch it a few days ago, only to find out that for some strange reason, Netflix has English subtitles but NOT the original Japanese audio... so I got it on DVD instead as that was still pretty cheap.

Posted by husky51 on 01.13.2022, 01:05 PM: Glad that you enjoyed it... |
Posted by ButaPairotto on 01.14.2022, 08:42 AM: Also glad that you enjoyed it! But for me, I guess I just had such high hopes considering how meaningful the other Ghibli films have been for me, that this just fell so short.
|
Posted by arren18 on 01.15.2022, 02:28 PM: I do understand finding the animation distracting and not liking it as much as other Ghibli films. I'd agree that it's one of their weaker films, but even the weaker ones I've always enjoyed. Definitely do give it a second chance if you find some time.

Posted by husky51 on 01.17.2022, 07:41 PM: hahaha, 12-13 or so years ago, when a couple of my Granddaughters came to visit, they loved Grandpa, but almost as soon as they came in the front door, it was "Totoro, Grandpa, Totoro" and plop down on the floor in front of the TV... Didn't matter to them that they were watching in Japanese or English... lol
