Studio Ghibli will be taking a huge leap this fall as they will begin airing their very first animated television series, titled Ronia, the Robber's Daughter. The production will be a collaboration between Studio Ghibli and Japan's Polygon Pictures, headed by Gorō Miyazaki (From Up on Poppy Hill), Hayao Miyazaki's son.

From Up on Poppy Hill Review: A Grown-Up Twist on a Coming-of-Age Story

*This review is mostly spoiler free, but proceed with caution.*

Studio Ghibli has been known for its amazing imagery and intricate storytelling, incorporating everything from the supernatural (Kiki's Delivery Service), to the futuristically natural (Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind), to the anachronistically wonderful (Castle in the Sky). However, every once in a while they do something a little different. Similar in tone and approach as Only Yesterday, From Up on Poppy Hill is a rarity in the the world of animated films. It attempts to balance a coming-of-age romance story, with the pivotal self discovery of our two protagonists.
