While you're trying to figure out what to watch at Cannes, try to watch Brave Story. The anime feature is produced by Gonzo and Fuji Television Network. Warner Brothers will distribute in Japan. No word yet if Warner will do the same in the US (you would think, right?). The film is based on a novel by Miyuki Miyabe and is scheduled to show on Monday, May 22.
Characters from Brave Story were seen on the convention floor of TAF in March. One of them was that reptile-looking character, Kee Keema. He waved at me, I waved back. End of story.
Fuji TV invested $3 Million in Gonzo to develop and produce properties that will be available worldwide. They did it to try and compete with Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli and be the Pixar of Japan -- all in the same time.
I've been aware of their work for a long time. Watched almost everything they put out there. I've programmed some of their shows too. My favorite so far has been Peacemaker Kurogane because of the character Saizo, the angry pig. Next has to be a three-way tie amongst their most mature-oriented titles to date: Gantz, Basilisk and Speed Grapher.
