Dang, it's so choppy that it's nearly unwatchable. Am I the only one having that problem? I tried it in two different browsers, and updated my version of flash and it's still choppy. :-(

I can't get it to play! But neat, I didn't know they were doing Earthsea. I have hopes.

had the same problem with the playing - but I managed to get some of it. I love the fact that the website name has Ged's name in it. http://www.ghibli.jp/25trailer/ged_lg.html

YouTube has it here, for folks who can't get it to play on Ghibli's site.

Thanks, that worked.

I'm not happy though. They did the same thing SciFi Channel did. They made Ged Caucasian.

I suspect he's meant to be Japanese, since that's what anime often does. But yes, his skin is fair.

Robert Sean Leonard's wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Sean_Leonard) has him credited for the Earthsea English vocal cast. Any idea if Disney's given any substance to that?

I second your "ooh," although I haven't read the books in decades and refused to watch the live action version.

They... they are white anime!Japanese ... not canonical.
