Sorry, post wasn't meant to be taken seriously: The completely fictitious idea of, in the event that Mushishi movie 1 is such a resounding success, they make a movie 2, and cross it over with a live action Kino no Tabi movie. Once more, apologies for what false-hopes or misunderstandings I may have raised.

Mushishi's Journey eh? I'd be interested to see who they cast as live action Kino.

or does anyone have suggestions on how to do this without an super high res raw?

If you're going to print it yourself, you can't do it much larger than monitor size, anyway, right? So I'm guessing you mean take an image to a shop to have it printed. If you create a vector graphic, then you can upscale it to any degree w/o any loss of visual quality. Find someone who has Adobe Illustrator CS2 & have him or her do a Live Trace in color, w/ lots of colors. (I just--a few minutes ago--attended on online seminar about Adobe Production Studio, in which Jason Levine explained how to create vector animation, by batch processing video stills in Illustrator CS2.) It could literally take only a couple of minutes to do an image; more likely, though, it'll be this plus hours of editing anchor points & direction lines. Muir Woods was/is working on a vector graphic of Tanyuu, using Photoshop vector masks apparently, & he could maybe give some advice. By the way, do you have a particular image in mind?

It may be the same commentary that's on this DVD:

I've been checking out some of the DVDs on yesasia and came across this ^
Can anyone tell me what is contained on those DVDs or at least what it says in the description? A summary would be fine. My Japanese is sadly limited to smatterings of kana so I have no idea what it's all about. All I know is that it doesn't seem to be part of the anime episode releases since I think the vol 6. is the last volume for the anime episodes(limited edition wise).

The DVD contents list goes something like this, I think. It would take me a huge amount of time to translate the description, I'm sorry to say.

--------------------
Contents:
1. Mushishi Digest
2. Mushishi DVD 5 prerelease party (Mushishi feast) images
3. Photo gallery of endings
4. Introduction of & brief commentary on all 26 episodes' main characters

Bonus audio:
Audio commentary by director Nagahama Hiroshi and seiyuu Nakano Yuuto

Bonus disc content:
Video compilation of all 26 endings

Extras:
1. Specially made figure
2. Specially printed flyer (Mushi Cage(?) Newspaper)
3. Set of 3 postcards
4. Limited edition 12 inch Ginko action figure
--------------------

What about the postcards included with the limited edition dvds I have seen just those for sale on Yahoo JP auctions before Those could probably be enlarged quite a bit

Hmm, I don't know what kind of specific advice I can give to lommm should he decide to vector, considering I'm pretty inexperienced in it as well. Here are two (of many) general guidelines I mainly followed regarding the vectoring process. 1, 2. I relied on more of the latter than the former. But I think you have already surmised what goes on at the heart of vectoring: "hours of editing anchor points & direction lines". Vectoring is not a difficult precedure per se; the concept and steps are simple, but they just needed to be repeated many times with a lot of delicate adjustments, so it is very time-consuming. Patience and diligence are paramount. lommm, if you have any particuliar questions, I'm (and perhaps along with others are) more than happy to help within the best of my meager abilities.

chriscosz · 2006-08-23, 19:39

Hello,

I saw these two pictures, and had to share them. My apologies if you've already seen them.

dxgarten · 2006-08-23, 20:38

Thank you for the picture, chriscosz. It's really appreciated. Now, I think Ginko looks a bit off but maybe I'll change my mind once I see another shot of him from different angle.

I think the white hair looks funny on Joe Odagiri and he looks quite different from Ginko. I want to see Ginko's trademark silly grin.

Nui, on the other hand, is perfect. I love her kimono and the way she holds the pipe. Judging from the picture, it seems this will mostly be a story of Ginko's origin.

Veritas · 2006-08-23, 21:21

Wow. Nui looks wonderful. I really want to see this now.

I agree with you on Ginko, though. I'm assuming they're using a wig for his hair. It's not quite stark white enough, and Ginko doesn't really keep it swept to the side to cover his eye. It's more like he just parts his bangs so he can see out of his good eye. And his stubble is black. Don't know if that's a valid complaint, since we don't know if all of Ginko's hair is white (or do we?) And where's his cig? I'm not familiar with the actor. Is he large enough to play Ginko? How's his voice and acting ability?

P.S. About the anime, did it bother anyone else that Yoki didn't look anything like Ginko? The way Yoki's hair fell and the shape of his jaw were completely different pre- and post-Ginko/Tokoyami dealio.

gianna · 2006-08-23, 22:59

(been trying to post this all afternoon -_-)
I posted that image of Nui earlier She is absolutely gorgeous
Please go here http://www.twitchfilm.net/archives/007306.html
and then the rest of the images here http://www.cinempire.com/multimedia/mushishi/index.html
I could look at those images of Nui all evening--

And is that Tanyuu Hmmm Do you think she should have worn a wig

Am I the only person who likes Odagiri for the role of Ginko

wao · 2006-08-24, 04:44

Oh my god! I don't know about Joe Odagiri, but that Nui is perfect! It's like the ultimate jaw-dropping perfect cosplay, in a way... that still... She got the mood and the look and everything right, IMO. Damn!

chriscosz · 2006-08-24, 08:52

Thanks for sharing all those pictures gianna. I don't know about others, but I'm feeling fairly optimistic about the movie. Joe Odagiri looks convincing as a wandering Mushishi, and Kourou is dead-on to the image of him I had in my mind. Nui, as others have said, is fantastic. My only worry is that it looks to me like they cast Tanyuu a little too young. I'm afraid that what I saw to be a mature, mutually shared relationship between her and Ginko in episode twenty might be turned into a one-sided longing or crush in the movie.

kuromitsu · 2006-08-24, 09:45

I think they both look great. Nui especially, but I like Ginko, too. His hair may not be completely white (and his eyes aren't neon green either), but I think this works better in live-action. He looks more naturally unnatural (if that makes sense). I hope any CG they'll include won't be too obtrusive...

Cal-Reflector · 2006-08-24, 10:09

Ec hoing the above sentiments about the casting: Niu does, at first glance, look spot on, and Ginko's not bad. Indeed, the choice for Tanyuu looks rather young (she coulda played a good Renzu Obaasan though), but the key for both Tanyuu and Ginko, I suppose, will be whether they can bring their laid-back, smug, and resigned personalities across.

The rainbow man... the CG quality might be the key for that section of the story.

chriscosz · 2006-08-24, 11:00

From these stills we can assume that the three stories that will be told in the movie will be The Rain Falls, A Rainbow Forms, The One Eyed Fish and A Sea of Brushes. If the director wants to have enough time to tell each story properly, I think that these will probably be the only three stories included.

In terms of the choices made, they were pretty wise to choose these three stories. Among other Mushishi episodes, The Rain Falls, A Rainbow Forms is fairly light-hearted, The One Eyed Fish is darker and provides background development for Ginko and A Sea of Brushes has a balance of light and dark and creates a good ending.

Muir Woods · 2006-08-24, 14:28

Awesome. With his five 'o clock shadow, and his shabby clothes, I think they intepreted Ginko to be more rugged than he appears in the manga and anime, which is plausible, considering he travels a lot as Mushishi. And agreed, Nui looks perfectly portrayed. As for Tanyuu, I just hope that the actress captures the mature and languid charm of her character.

Hmm, doesn't the "Gin" in Ginko mean silver? Which is why I've always thought that Ginko's hair is/should be silver in color (which the LA Ginko hair does resemble), not plain white. And I would've prefered if Ginko's eye have a slight green tinge.

gianna · 2006-08-24, 17:05

Yes I thought that too about his rugged look I think it's appropriate
Though I do hope to see him clean shaven with that nice coat on once lol - I can't even remember at the moment if he does wear that in the stories chriscosz mentioned above

Oh yeah Just saw on ANN (from two days ago) Mushishi volume 1 will be released on 1.30 for $12.95
