Studio Ghibli's Amusement Park Will Sell Tickets Worldwide
Studio Ghibli has, time and time again, earned its place as one of the greats in the medium of anime, releasing multiple movies that are considered the best in the realm of animation. To capitalize on their ever-expanding roster, Ghibli swung open the doors of its amusement park earlier this year, recreating some of the anime locales for the first time. Now, beginning next month, international anime fans will have the opportunity to buy tickets of their own to Ghibli's new theme park.
In 2023, Studio Ghibli is set to release its next feature-length film in How Do You Live?, which is being touted as the final film of legendary director Hayao MIyazaki. The upcoming movie is based on a 1937 novel written by author Genzaburo Yoshino, following a fifteen-year-old boy named Junichi Honda. Much like Ghibli's The Wind Rises, this adaptation might not delve into the supernatural as many of Ghibli's offerings have, though it might just tug on some heartstrings all the same. While Miyazaki has stated in the past that he would retire following the completion of previous projects, this time might be the finale of his long career.
Studio Ghibli: Where To Buy Tickets
Studio Ghibili's Official Website will have the tickets ready to buy for international anime fans beginning on January 10th, with the tickets themselves slated to be made available, at first, for the time between March 15th to April 30th, giving park-goers a good window for taking in the real world anime environments.
Ghibli isn't the only anime attractions that were erected in Japan, as Universal Studios Japan has taken the opportunity to create rides and tributes to anime juggernauts including the likes of One Piece, Attack on Titan, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Sailor Moon, Case Closed, Hunter x Hunter, and more. While there aren't plans to bring any of these Universal attractions to the parks in North America, the recent jump of Super Mario World from the east to the west recently certainly shows that the possibility is there.
