Ghibli Works in Production

Studio Ghibli are set to release two new feature-films this year! As briefly mentioned in an earlier post, its been five years since their most recent release, Ponyo - but in 2013 Miyazaki and Takahata each return to the directorial helm for The Wind is Rising (風立ちぬ/romanised: Kaze Tachinu) and The Tale of Princess Kaguya (かぐや姫の物語/romanised: Kaguya-hime no Monogatari) respectively.
Other than the following images, not much is known about the plot of these upcoming films.

Release

Studio Ghibli originally planned to release the films simultaneously in the summer of 2013, an event not seen since the release of Grave of the Fireflies and My Neighbour Totoro in 1988. However, The Tale of Princess Kaguya has been delayed to fall 2013, and The Wind is Rising is scheduled to be released on July 20, 2013 (according to producer Toshio Suzuki).
