Once Man and Dragon were one.
Man chose Land and Sea,
Dragon chose Wind and Fire.
There is a new Ghibli anime released in Japan this week, called Tales from Earthsea (Gedo Senki). The director is Goro Miyazaki, and this is his first feature film. His father Hayao Miyazaki, founder of Ghibli Studio, got an Oscar for Spirited Away (released 2001).
Listen to the beautiful soundtrack here or a TV version here. The Tales from Earthsea Single featuring the theme song by Aoi Teshima -- who is also the voice of Therru -- was released June 5th in Japan. It is now #1 on CD Charts in Japan!
Trailers can be found here.
The story is based on Ursula K. Le Guin's novels.
From the synopsis:
Ged was on a journey, searching for the source causing evil disturbances to the world. Ged — once an impetuous and arrogant goatherd boy — is now a mature man, called by others as "Lord Archmage", the greatest of wizards. During his travels, he meets Arren, Prince of Enlad. The youth was being pursued by a "shadow". The disastrous force destroying the world's balance and driving people mad was nearing Arren as well...

Thanks for the comments. I saw the film in Kabukicho, Shinjuku last weekend, and loved it. It is different from other Ghibli films, but very very powerful. A great work.
