"Birds no one's ever seen... Flowers no one's ever seen..." The next new film from Studio Ponoc! This is the animation studio in Japan that is known as the successor to Studio Ghibli - they already released Mary and the Witch's Flower, Mirai, and Modest Heroes in the last few years. Their next feature film is titled The Imaginary, adapted from the best-selling book "The Imaginary" by A.F. Harrold and Emily Gravett.

"Shun adores baseball. Only eggs defeat him." Here we go! Japanese animation house Studio Ponoc has debuted three 30-second individual trailers for their new short films as part of their first Anthology feature. These short films will be released in Japan later this month together in one extended feature, Ponoc's latest offering since Mary and the Witch's Flower. This new series is titled "Ponoc Short Films Theatre", and this first set is titled Modest Heroes. Ponoc recruited three of Ghibli's finest veteran animators to make these three short films - Kanini & Kanino directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi, Life Ain't Gonna Lose (aka Samurai Egg) directed by Yoshiyuki Momose, and Invisible directed by Akihiko Yamashita. The trailers finally give us a better glimpse at the stories & characters in these shorts, and I'm still crazy excited to watch them. The Invisible short looks like the best, in my opinion, but they all have some serious charm.

Level-5's still working on its Jrpg sequel Ni No Kuni 2. Here's a first look at its gameplay in action...
Released in 2010, Ni No Kuni was one of the best RPGs of its generation, thanks in no small part to its spectacular production values. With music by Joe Hisaishi and animated sequences by Studio Ghibli, its fantasy world felt cosy and welcoming, even as the action-roleplaying itself proved unexpectedly taxing.

Ni No Kuni's scheduled to return this year, with its sequel subtitled Revenant Kingdom.

Those cute familiars are also out of the picture - perhaps because Level 5's hit Yokai Watch...

Jrpg developer Level-5 has announced a sequel to its 2011 game Ni No Kuni. Here's the first trailer for Revenant Kingdom...
Level 5's Ni No Kuni was arguably among the most beautiful-looking RPGs of the last generation. With animation and character designs by Studio Ghibli, it offered a Pokemon-like game of familiar catching and training, married to a genuinely epic story about lost parents, enchanted kingdoms and evil witches.
It was a game so complete and unique that we didn't necessarily expect to even get a sequel, and yet here it is: Ni No Kuni II: The Revenant Kingdom. It's a PlayStation 4 exclusive, and looks subtly different from the last game; that adventure's young hero Oliver is replaced by a slightly older protagonist named Evan, a boy not quite ready for his role as king of Ding Dong Dell.
