    There are supposed to be two new trailers on the Ghibli World site, one for Kazuo Oga’s TANEYAMAGAHARA NO YORU (NIGHT OF TANEYAMAGAHARA) and one for Isao Takahata’s GAUCHE THE CELLIST (here and here), but I can’t get them to load. Also, they’ve launched an official site for the LEGEND OF EARTHSEA film. I usually…
