The other day Studio Ghibli announced the legendary Hayao Miyazaki's newest film project called The Wind Rises (Kaze Tachinu) which is an adaptation of a Miyazaki manga of the same name. It's centers around the life of Iro Horikoshi the man who designed Japan's Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighter widely used in the Pacific theatre of WWII. With the fighter pilots being anthromorphic pigs one can't help but think this might have a connection to the underrated Porco Rosso or the much rumoured sequel to that film. Either way it's nice to see Miyazaki doing a film based off of his own material once again and I for one am very excited and it will be a long wait until the Summer of 2013 which it is currently shed-yuled to be released.
